Player Discussion Auston Matthews (Captain Edition)

[hullsy47]

Not sure how 11 points in 8 games makes you a 4th line C, but your point remains.

If he is legit unhealthy, the Leafs have to consider that going into the deadline

Hes hurt his release isnt elite.its good but not elite

Put him on LTIR and add at the deadline with the cap space. He can come back in the playoffs like Florida is doing with M. Tkachuk

He his not himself .just something slowing his release making him rush
I dunno

 

[BallardEra]

14 points in his last 12 games

It looks like he'll finish with more assists than goals this season for the second time in his career for a season.

I hate this. If we get bounced in the first round again, people will use the excuse that Matthews is slightly off this season. The right people (i.e. Shanny) won’t be held to account once again.

If we get bounced in the first round, the right people to be held accountable are people like Auston Matthews.

I get that he’s not at 100%, it’s not a Hart caliber season, expectations have been dropping steadily, but there are things in his control and his flat energy levels, low emotional investment can also improve.

9th year in the league, a track record that’s basically the no name Minnesota Wild. That’s his track record as much as it is Shanny’s. Shanny has put his faith into this group and this captain. Get going!

He blew up his wrist scoring 69

This is so confusing.....

If Matthews is injured, then LTIR him, Leafs record without Matthews is pretty good.
If Matthews is not injured, but just playing terribly, then trade him to recover assets because we can't have his cap hit with this level of play if we want to win....

Main thing I hate is the lack of emotion and intensity from Matthews. You are wearing the C now bud. He's looked disinterested all season. Maybe Marner told him this is his last year here and Matthews is thinking of asking out

His emotional energy level is really off these days. Doesn’t even seem like a Toronto problem but more like do you still enjoy the sport?

He looks withdrawn in the face all the time like he has some sort of IBS or Chrons disease or issue that wears his energy down.

Look under his eyes, he doesn't look like a fully healthy guy right now. If he were my friend I would be asking how he is feeling and why he looks so worn out lately.
