I think he does want out now as the Over Drive panel were talking about it.
It was someothing like if this team isn’t competitive than trade me.
I think if that happens, Nylander is surely to follow him out the door.
Leafs really dont have a choice now but to try and get back to the playoffs.
I am not convinced Matthews wants out, and I understand if he wants to be on a team that is going for it.
I think you keep him (and Nylander) for this coming season and see how it plays out. And if you cant sign AM, you move him after the season or TDL whatever.
Having #1 pick changes a lot
