Auston Matthews reportedly expected to need further convincing from Maple Leafs to stay next season despite draft lottery win
"I believe that Auston Matthews is going to ask the Maple Leafs to sit down with him and say not only what is your plan, but how are you actually going to execute the plan. If they can do that to him, I think everything works out. Even if he likes the plan, if he's not actually convinced they can act on it, that's where the problem will be."
"Matthews missed the playoffs for the first time with the Maple Leafs this past year. The 28-year-old centerman posted just 53 points (27g, 26a) in 60 games for Toronto, the worst point-per-game rate (0.88) of his 10-year career outside of his rookie 2016-17 camp."
The Toronto Maple Leafs won the NHL Draft Lottery and will select first overall. Despite this, captain Auston Matthews' future is uncertain. Matthews has expressed doubt about returning to Toronto next season. The team plans to meet with Matthews to discuss plans and execution, but Matthews may still need convincing.
