With the NHL salary cap rising and top-tier contracts hitting $18M annually, any new deal for Matthews could consume nearly 20% of Toronto’s cap. His recent injury-plagued seasons—scoring 60 goals in 127 games—raise questions about his long-term value. Complicating matters, fellow stars Connor McDavid and Zach Werenski, who share his agent, are also negotiating big deals, giving Matthews leverage. While he cherishes Toronto’s legacy, Matthews may prioritize a championship, potentially seeking a new team if the Leafs fail to contend in 2026–27.
