Austin Matthews Extended for 4 more years
Toronto Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews signed a four-year, $53 million contract extension. His $13.25 million cap hit became the highest AAV in the NHL.
While Matthews still had one season left on his current contract which is a five-year, $58.2-million pact signed in February 2019, and he could have walked into unrestricted free agency next summer.
Auston Matthews posted on his X “I feel fortunate to continue this journey as a Maple Leaf in front of the best fans in hockey, I will do everything I can to help get us to the top of the mountain.”
Matthews, who won the Calder Trophy as the NHL’s rookie of the year in 2016-17 and added the Ted Lindsay Award to his mantle in 2021-22 as the league’s most outstanding player according to his peers, has 299 goals and 542 points in 481 career regular-season games.
Auston Matthews who was selected first overall in the 2016 NHL Draft, made Maple Leafs’ history by scoring all four goals in his debut game against the Ottawa Senators.
