Insider Reveals Auston Matthews' Salary on His Next Deal
An insider has provided a massive update regarding Auston Matthews' contract and fans are excited.
Matthews To Break Record
Rumors seem to be that Matthews is ready to sign a contract extension in Toronto but there are slight hold-ups.
Insider Nick Kypreos has provided an update on Auston Matthews' contract situation and what the hold-up is with it.
How Will This Work
The Maple Leafs will need to move some money if they want to sign Matthews to this record-breaking contract. Many are beginning to speculate that William Nylander will need to be moved in order to sign Matthews long-term.
Nylander is currently under contract for just under $7 million for one more year but is demanding 8 figures for his next contract.
That plus Matthews' raise of just a shed under $2 million puts the Leafs at a total of $5 million more which is something they simply cannot afford.
Moving Nylander would clear up cap space for Matthews' contract and ensure that the Leafs can keep the 2021-22 MVP.
