"My understanding is that John Chayka is throwing out dates to Auston Matthews to meet with him in Arizona to see his view."
"My understanding is that John Chayka is throwing out dates back and forth with Auston Matthews and his agent Judd Moldaver, to get some face-to-face and for him to go down to Arizona, to spend time with Auston Matthews and get a sense of where things are,"
"And obviously from the Leafs' perspective, they hope they can sell their side of things to a point where Auston Matthews is on board with the vision of this offseason and where it's headed."
"LeBrun later mentions how Chayka could very well leave Arizona without a firm answer from Matthews and that it's just part of the process for this summer. Because, Matthews might need to just see more of what they do to make the team better."
The Toronto Maple Leafs’ summer priority is securing Auston Matthews’ commitment to remain in Toronto through his 2028 unrestricted free agency. The organization aims to prevent a trade request and to position Matthews to sign a contract extension next summer. With new general manager John Chayka in charge, the first step is understanding what Matthews wants. Chayka is expected to travel to Arizona to meet with Matthews and his agent Judd Moldaver for an initial, meaningful conversation. The goal is to present the team’s vision for the offseason and future direction, while also learning where Matthews’ thinking stands. Chayka may leave without a firm answer if Matthews needs to see more improvements.
