Superstar forward Auston Matthews has signed a four-year, $53-million contract extension with the Toronto Maple Leafs, the team announced Wednesday. The contract carries a league-high AAV of $13.25 million.
If in 4 years, Matthews cant win the cup with the Leafs, would a GM pay him another most expensive long term contract then? That will be a lot of cap hit for someone cant win the cup with very good players while in his prime. He is really betting on himself bring the cup to toronto.
