Earlier this afternoon Auston Matthews sent out a tweet that had everyone assuming he'd signed a new deal with the Toronto Maple Leafs.
I feel fortunate to continue this journey as a Maple Leaf in front of the best fans in hockey! I will do everything I can to help get us to the top of the mountain. GLG! #LeafsForever
This deal makes Matthews the highest paid player in the league. According to Frank Seravalli the Maple Leafs wanted the deal to be longer, but Matthews wouldn't budge.
