Auston Matthews is scheduled to become the biggest free agent in NHL modern history. Matthews contract with the Maple Leafs expires July 1st of 2024. After signing a 5-year deal with the Maple Leafs, Matthews is poised to cash in.
Now almost 2 full years out from Matthews becoming a free agent, Bodog has released their betting odds on where Matthews will sign. While the top 2 locations are unsurprising the rest of the list has some interesting names on it.
The Toronto Maple Leafs remain a very heavy favourite to re-sign Matthews, with the Arizona Coyotes following in a distant second. It is very surprising to see both Florida teams and the Seattle Kraken so high on this list.
