Matthews remains uncertain about Maple Leafs future as leadership search continues
Auston Matthews said he’ll be physically ready to start next season but can’t predict his long-term future with the Maple Leafs as the team searches for a new general manager after firing Brad Treliving; his four-year, $53 million contract runs through the 2027-28 season, rehab for a March knee injury is progressing, and Toronto – which finished 32-36-14 and missed the playoffs – is hoping leadership changes help the core rebound next year.
