True, Matthews has not produced at acceptable levels in the post-season, scoring 22 goals and recording 22 assists in 50 games, all the while failing to help lead the Leafs on a deep run.
Once July 1 arrives — when Matthews can sign a contract extension — he will have a firm grip on control of his future as the final year of his five-year contract kicks in. With that final year comes a no-move clause.Article content Another option during the summer would be to keep working on a contract extension until a new deal is reached.
