Matthews: Contract talks with Maple Leafs are underway
Contract talks between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Auston Matthews are underway, the star forward told Sportsnet's Luke Fox.
Matthews still has one year remaining on his entry-level contract, which will pay him $925,000 in 2018-19. He will then be a restricted free agent after next season and has been eligible for a contract extension since July 1, 2018.
It's unclear how much Matthews will be paid, but an eight-year deal with a cap hit somewhere between Jack Eichel's $10 million and Connor McDavid's $12.5 million seems realistic.
