I don't think Matthews will be a Coyote..........maybe put a 10% chance of that happening. But also don't see Matthews as a hockey 24x7x365 type of guy. Toronto is the 4th biggest city in North America and has a lot to offer beyond hockey...but not the extent of New York or LA. Maybe he pulls a Gretzky?TO is in Canada, and hockey is Canada's game. Most don't realize the different atmosphere, attention etc. you get when you play TO compared to little ole Phoenix. Some players don't like the attention, but if you are on a good team, people treat you like god. If I was a NHL player, I would love to play for any original six teams. Everyone is different. I hope AM comes here, but I'm sure not holding my breath.
A lot could depend on this season and his perceived direction of the Leafs.
His ego is massive, no question.I think Auston Matthews is great. The problem is he thinks the same.
