The Toronto Maple Leafs have qualified for the postseason for the last nine seasons. This season may tell a different story as the Leafs currently sit three points behind the Boston Bruins for the final wild-card spot.
NHL insider Nick Kypreos, during the Real Kyper & Bourne show, questioned whether captain Auston Matthews would stay with the Maple Leafs when his contract ends. Matthews is in the second year of his four-year deal that runs through 2028.
This should worry Maple Leafs fans, as without Auston Matthews in the future, the Maple Leafs will more than likely have to begin a rebuild, something Leafs fans haven't seen in nearly a decade.
