Talks about trades surrounding Auston Matthews will only intensify as the remaining season on his contract is set to start in the next few months. Until he signs a new contract or an extension, rumors will continue to circulate, and TSN has just released one that is causing quite a stir among Leafs and Habs fans alike.

TSN Proposes a Blockbuster Trade Involving Auston Matthews and the Canadiens

Here's what the channel proposed:

To Montreal:

Auston Matthews

To Toronto:

Cole Caufield
Mike Matheson
5th overall pick 2023

Montreal fans have been nothing but charmed by Caufield since he joined the team in 2021. They're not ready to see him leave, even for a superstar like Matthews.

They have also grown to like Mike Matheson, who has been the best defenseman in their lineup in the last year.

Finally, after a tough season, they don't want to see the hard-earned 5th overall pick go into the hands of another team, especially considering how this year's draft will impact the future of the league.

The proposition wasn't well received by the fans, who expressed their dissatisfaction on Twitter:
