Leafs' Auston Matthews shockingly linked to Western Conference team in trade talks
""I've gotten to know Auston over the last couple of years, and I think the world of him. I think he's one of the best two-way guys in the game. I think that his defensive game, his two-way game, is completely underrated. He's a hell of a player. I know he deals with a lot there in Toronto, but I think the world of him.""
"The assets may not be enough going the Maple Leafs way. If the Wild are interested in acquiring the Maple Leafs captain, there is no secret that it would be very difficult to make it come to fruition."
The Toronto Maple Leafs are set to miss the postseason for the first time since 2015-16, following a disappointing season. This situation may lead to significant offseason decisions that could impact the team's future. Auston Matthews is a key player in trade discussions, particularly with the Minnesota Wild showing interest. A meeting between Matthews and Maple Leafs management will determine their alignment on future plans, which could result in Matthews leaving before his contract ends in 2028.
