The news we’ve all been waiting for has arrived. The Toronto Maple Leafs have started contract talks with Auston Matthews! Now, before everyone starts a parade, patience is the key. It’s no coincidence Matthews confirmed they all preach patience.
Per Mike Zeisberger, Matthews said the following on the extension talks:
“They preach patience,” Matthews said Thursday, referring to his agent, Judd Moldaver, and Maple Leafs general manager Kyle Dubas. “Both of them do. … When it gets done, it gets done. But I don’t think anyone is in too much of a rush.”
All sounds fair and well, however, no doubt every Leafs fan would like to see Dubas sign Matthews to a new contract sooner rather than later.
