The Maple Leafs are still without a general manager and big decisions are looming for the franchise. TSN Hockey analyst Dave Poulin joins SportsCentre to discuss the time crunch Toronto is under and whether Leafs fans should be concerned if Auston Matthews doesn’t sign an extension when he becomes eligible on July 1st.

Thoughts on whether Auston Matthews will resign in Toronto?

9 videos about the leafs in the past 24 hours? are you guys behind in your clicks or something?
They're going to overpay him since he's in a Canadian market and it's hard for Canadian teams to be attractive
Give me one good reason why an American born player won't leave as a UFA for nothing, come season's end, especially if any of his buddies are traded.
matthews wants too much money
Mathew’s is signing in Toronto maple leaf graveyard 😅
As a proud member of FTL Nation, told you to years ago that the Matthews deadline clock was running down. This is a proud moment for us members. Dubas says he wants to be in Toronto, then he doesn't. So much for the "premier flop of the NHL." Now we see the soon-to-be breakup of the fab four. Remember all those Stanley Cups the bought-and-paid-for Canadian media and Toronto fans promised. Where are they? Seems like you're running out of koolaid. Bye bye Matthews. AFter July 1st when he doesn't sign, you either trade him or watch him walk at season's end. It doesn't get any funnier.
Does anyone know what has Shanahan has actually done.?
Dubas agreed not to speak to Auston about a contract extension before July 1, 2023 but on July 1, he’s untradable!
Really? You're going to let July 1st pass and live in the HOPE that Matthews will sign? LMAO….
Definitely cannot take the player by their words. See Johnny Gaudreau. No guarantees they'll re-sign until it's done.
I dont understand what the issue is. You meet his number. If you cant, then you trade him. If you use him like Tavares or Gaudreau this team deserves failure
Nope the summer doesn't end on July 1st he has all summer to sign stop fear mongering media.
Well if it wasn't the case, he would sign before july 1st. Easy.
No fear here at all. Let him go! He is built for the regular "shinny hockey" season. No grit for the playoffs. Bye bye Austin!
i find it funny that they are so scared to lose mathews yet he only scores goal in the reg season.He doesnt play with heart and grit (witch you 100% need in the playoffs) and when things get tough he wont fight thru it instead he ll hit the reverse button.If the leafs ever win a cup it will not be because of this guy
TSN 6 hours ago: Matthews wants to stay in Toronto.
TSN 6 minutes ago: what if Matthews doesn’t sign in Toronto?
Like any new management team. They will have to let everyone know their plan. When a better plan is in place all the guys will fall in line. It wouldnt suprise me if we try to make a trade with the Ducks and fix our situation in the draft.
I heard Auston hates Boston Pizza
Truth is….no one knows shit about how the Matthews situation will resolve itself. I don't care what kind of expert someone thinks they are. We should all know that by now.
Low volume
Next thing you know, Matthews is playing with Crosby and Malkin.
If Matthews leaves, I'll miss all those Cups he's won in the decade he's been here.
They will sign him because they think he will win them some cups they are wrong!
He GONE!!! Book IT!!!
Who cares, let Mathews go!!! He's a playoff stiff!! 11 mil plus for what??? Get rid of him!!
You can threaten Matthews all you want, but ultimately no team will pay a king's ransom in a trade if they suspect that Matthews will walk after one year…
Mathews, Marner are playing for their salaries only, but have no drive to go all the way, they are just paid entertainers!!!
MLSE!!! Wake up people!!!
He will re-sign duh
Mathews would rather sign a 15 year deal with Quebec Nordics at minimum salary than play for Leafs.
