Auston Matthews got brutally honest about Maple Leafs being sellers at trade deadline
"I'm not going to sit here & speculate on what went wrong. We've got a game [Wednesday] & that's where my focus is at. Obviously you never want to be in this situation. It's tough. It's obviously frustrating..."
"The Leafs never really got out of the starter's gate this season, struggling from the get-go. It was always going to be difficult to replicate their previous regular season successes considering the team and star Mitch Marner mutually agreed to part ways."
"This season, the Leafs have surrendered an average of 3.42 goals per game, which ranks fifth worst in the entire NHL. As for scoring, they are 14th in the league after averaging 3.18 goals per game."
The Toronto Maple Leafs have underperformed significantly this season and will not make the playoffs, prompting the organization to become sellers at the trade deadline. Center Nicolas Roy was traded to the Colorado Avalanche for a 2027 first-round pick and 2026 fifth-round selection. Captain Auston Matthews expressed frustration about the team's situation, calling it tough and disappointing. The Leafs struggled from the beginning of the season, particularly after Mitch Marner's departure. The team's defensive performance ranks fifth worst in the NHL, allowing 3.42 goals per game, while their offense ranks 14th with 3.18 goals per game. Their powerplay success rate of 19.9% ties for 16th in the league.
