One of the major issues about the Maple Leafs organization is the contract status of their best player: Auston Matthews.
Insider Drops Major Bombshell Regarding Matthews' Next Contract
The Leafs are having their post-season interviews today and insider Elliotte Friedman a major development on the situation.
Friedman and 32TP talking Matthews/Leafs: "I think he wants to sign for around 4-5 years, but I think the Maple Leafs know if they're going to do that he's probably going to be the highest paid player in the league and I think they're willing to do it".
Matthews shown that he's one of the best players in the league. It's only normal that he should have one of the best salaries.
Any team would be lucky to have him on their roster.The only concern that could come into play is that he failed to prove he could produce in the playoffs.
If he becomes the highest paid player in the league, he'll earn more than Nathan MacKinnon, who signed an eight-year contract with a cap hit of $12,600,000.
