  1. Uhhh, there's no explanation from Matthews, but I will tell you. Maximize Auston Bucks career -wise.

  2. He did it cause he is a spoiled greedy brat who only has and will only care about getting the bag,does not give a dam about winning and that why he should have been traded long ago,another playoff flop is coming this year,when going gets tough he and Marner curl up in corner sucking their thumbs.

  3. He wants another big ass contract when he turns 30 at $15-17 million 💵💵💵💰💰💰💯💯💯🤑🤑🤑

  4. Well…um …my main reason was because it’s a fk tone of money !!!! Any other questions ? 🤦‍♂️

  5. The reason is so Mathews can extort an 8 year deal out of The Leafs when he isn't worth it. He'll sign 8 years when 6 of those years he'll be worthless. Great loyalty from this entitled spoiled core. They all just care about squeezing every dollar out of Toronto instead of showing any appreciation for the fans. No wonder this team will never win. If only the lottery balls had bounced for Toronto and they got a true loyal franchise player in McDavid. He is the example of a loyal unselfish appreciative star.

  6. Self-serving bullshit by Matthews. It's always about HIM…and not the team. Same kind of behaviour on the ice, on the whole. The guy will never stand up for a teammate, even though he has the size to do it. I just hope that this kind of self-serving player does NOT become captain of the Leafs.

  7. do toronto players get extra monies on the side playing for such a rich franchise? and how much extra cash do players like matthews make from commercials and stuff?

  8. The right balance my ass. He wants to sign for 16 million at 30 yrs old to take him to damned near 40. He could give a shit about the leafs.
