Sportsnet: Chris Johnston says that there is a feeling that Toronto Maple Leafs Auston Matthews could become a target for an offer sheet this offseason.
“When it comes to Auston Matthews, we’re looking at a different deadline, and that would be this coming July 1,” said Chris Johnston on Saturday’s Headlines on Hockey Night in Canada. “There is widespread feeling within the industry that Auston Matthews would be the rare player who would be targeted by an offer sheet.”
The last offer sheet was back in 2013 – Ryan O’Reilly.
