Elliotte Friedman: New update on Auston Matthews' contract extension

Auston Matthews' contract has been a hot topic since the season ended. He still has a year left in Toronto, but rumors of trade and extensions have been everywhere.

Per Elliotte Friedman, it appears that Auston Matthews won't sign before July 1st, when his no-trade clause kicks in.

However, Brad Treliving seems sure that he can reach an agreement before the start of next season.

This is major for the Maple Leafs. The important thing is that he stays in Toronto, and wether they reach a deal now or in two months, it doesn't really matter.

We'll keep you updated.
