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.
As a Toronto fan, while I'm happy he signed and we have a good chunk of his prime, I, along with many of my comrades in arms, have been trained to give up on hope via punishment operand conditioning. Any semblance of display of hope is gouged and replaced with despair. But thank you for the kind sentiment.
