…He wants to win and he needs to find a spot that pays him appropriately and gives the Leafs room to go out and make moves.
Frank Seravalli on SN590 says Auston Matthews wants to allow enough money on the Leafs' cap to build a team that has a chance to win. His next contract is not about setting a record, it's not about getting 4x$15M.

INTO MY VEINS!
Matthews signing 8 years at league minimum and all you can eat at Boston Pizza for life!
That’d be great. Although what he thinks is team friendly and what actually is team friendly might be two very different things, so I’ll believe it when I see it.
Seravalli also said Mathews was waiting to see what Nylander gets but Elliot Friedman said Nylander was waiting to see what Mathews gets. Which doesn’t bode well.
And Mitch is probably licking his chops. It’s like dejavu except this time we’re not naive due to the horrible precident that was set.
The three of them need to get together on a yacht in Monte Carlo and hash this whole ordeal out.
What wonderful language from the camp that heisted 8 figures and no UFA years spent while waltzing out of an entry level contract
Matthews 8 years 13M, let’s do it.
Seravalli was my favourite insider all along, I swear!
I guess I don’t understand the logic here.
So much talk about the big four and the massive cap hits etc. One win in the second round in how long? Maybe it needs to be explained to me. I get the personal stats and so on. It looks like a great team built for season hockey.
A.m getting that Boston pizza side money
Best he can do is leave 200k on the table /s
Would be nice but I’ll believe it when I see it.
Man why is Seravalli getting all the scoops this week?
At least this one isn’t horrific news. Hope it’s true!
oh thank god finally good news
I could have asked for 15 mil but instead asked for 14.5. Bow to me.
This sounds like a direct quote from his agent to get fans on his side. It’s not “about” setting a record, but it sounds like it still will be a record, and that he’s not taking term
I’ll get excited when I see the deal
I don’t give a shit he doesn’t deserve a penny more than mcdavid and mackinnon. They’re a different level of dominant when it comes to the playoffs especially. Mathews had 2 points and no goals against Florida. Not saying he’s why we lost as the other top guys didn’t do much but nylander had 2 big goals that series.
So, one thing about Treliving’s time with the Flames is he always found a way to get great contracts out of his RFA/UFA’s.
It was his non Flames UFA’s he always overspent on.
Yeah let’s see what that number is before we congratulate Matthews. 8×12 and I’m happy.
So how does Seravelli know this. This is supposition on his part. He’s assuming he understands how Auston thinks.
Funny when something bad is said about our team by Seravalli – “Seravalli is a fraud! He doesn’t know anything!” but now all of a sudden everyone believes him
If its about winning and not the money, why not take 11 mil for next 8 years? That’s generational wealth. You want to win right?
April 1st has already come and gone Frank.
I hope Seravalli is right about this.
However, it does seem like he’s trying to get back on the good side of Leafs fans. He seemed legit pissed off and angry after the Ryan O’Reilly trade, because he must have thought Dubas was serious that he wasn’t trading a 1st round pick for a rental.
I’ll allow it.
Matthews: Sike, pay me like Messi
