The Blackhawks Hold The Highest Odds to Acquire This Toronto Maple Leaf
There is uncertainty surrounding Auston Matthews' future with the Toronto Maple Leafs for a few reasons.
Firstly, Kyle Dubas' departure from the team has led to rumors that the "core four" may be on the trading block.
Additionally, Matthews is seeking a raise in his upcoming contract negotiations, which may give the team pause given Dubas' significant investment in him and the team as a whole.
There is speculation that Matthews may command the NHL's highest salary next season, which could present a challenge for the Maple Leafs given their cap constraints.
As such, Betonline.Ag, a sports betting website, has listed Auston Matthews as the favorite to land in Chicago by 2024.
While it is difficult to predict how things will unfold, the Blackhawks may be able to make Matthews' salary work if the opportunity arises. Ultimately, the future of Matthews' career in Toronto remains uncertain.
