With $13.25 million US a season starting next year, Auston Matthews is poised to lead the NHL in salary and his Maple Leafs in career points.

Matthews, in the twilight years of John Tavares, must also be in the conversation again as the future team captain. It’s an exalted position that three of the four aforementioned club stars held and it would’ve gone to Matthews in the 2018-19 season had he not been mixed up in a disorderly conduct charge that summer.

They want to see Matthews healthy, happy and truly make this his team and have Marner, William Nylander, the Core Four and other elements ride the wave. They seek the same as Connor McDavid’s contributions to Edmonton — for what will be less money than Matthews as of 2024.

At least the fear of him haunting Toronto in another jersey has now abated with the extension, not that many seriously thought he’d let his Leafs time lapse and embrace being the big fish in a small pond back home in Arizona or somewhere else.
