Looks like all the panic paid off, Lou caved and signed him
He got to page 3 of this thread and said "enough is enough".

If there was no need for negotiations - then every first overall would sign July 1st. and be done with it.
obviously. there is more work than "here is the contract, please sign here."
or there are other pressing needs that go before the "here is the contract, please sign here."
Okay, what's next on the doomsday calendar? Should we go back to facial hair or focus on the lack of a backup goalie?
I say goalie.......apparently Lou doesn't really like backup goalies, he only likes starters. I hope he lightens up on this or we're going to alienate all the potential back up goalies and go into the season without one. Man the guy is such a dinosaur, imagine going into the season without a backup!
edit: I'm also annoyed that I don't know the details about Matthews contract yet......as a long time fan they owe me!

Guaranteed:
July 1st, 2018.
WHY THE HELL DIDN'T WE SIGN MATTHEWS TO HIS SECOND CONTRACT YET?!
Hell, Buffalo would take the contract on stage to get it all over with right there.
I love how the media does not love that.

Shanny probably went into Lou's office yesterday and said: "Lou WTF are you doing? Get this kid signed and stop pissing him and his agent off!"
and two telecom companies that might want this guy to be on the leafs too.......
BUT WHAT TOOK SO LONG!?!?
Are some people serious? Unless something happens to Matthews we're going to give him 8 years after his ELC. No questions asked. You don't bridge a franchise center. I'd say if you're thinking of bridging him maybe you're the one who doesn't know how to negotiate.
It didn't take long. He was drafted a month ago and the season isn't for another three. This wasn't a thing.
What if either side doesn't want a long term deal prior to a new CBA being in place?
Auston is such an attention seeker.That was sarcasm.
