Matthews Has 2 Years Left Until He's a Free Agent: What Will He Do?

The proof is in the pudding, whether you love or hate Matthews and the Toronto Maples - Matthews is an elite goalscorer, who's release is perhaps of the most deadly the league has seen, as he toe drags the puck before unleashing a bullet.

But does Matthews have other plans? Might he choose to go home to Arizona, and help the Coyotes battle for a Stanley Cup with their young core, that is currently going through growing pains.

Does South of the Canadian border interest Matthews more than the 'Great White North'? The league has seen many young players opt to go down South to enjoy the hot weather and sandy beaches, Matthew Tkachuk, Ben Chiarot and Phil Kessel (yes, he was already in Arizona), who chose Florida, Detroit and Las Vegas respectively.

The Leafs have some big money tied up amongst four of their forwards - Matthews, Marner, Tavares and William Nylander, along with Giordano, Rielly and Muzzin on the back-end. Certainly Dubas has plans going forward, stay tuned for some GM magic work.
