Look. Mathews gonna walk away from leafs gaudreau style way before any oiler does.
Lol yeah, just put yourself in his shoes. So much goal scoring talent, and you can make ton of money elsewhere with ease. You spent most of your career so far in a cap strapped team cuz of a stubborn young "genius" GM that refuses to admit that he can't build shit with 4 players taking up half the teams cap.
If you look at tampa and avs, the players want to return, take discounts, play for each other. You look at the leafs, and despite winning in regular season, they can't get it done in playoffs, your teammates are revolving doors cuz they're gone unless they take peanuts for their worth. Media/fans shit's on them for a mistake and run em out of town, and they usually win cup elsewhere. So why would/should Matthews wanna stay? He can go to another team and try to actually win while getting paid? Idk
