Toronto Maple Leafs Captain Auston Matthews' Future Uncertain as Dismal Season Comes to an End

The Toronto Maple Leafs' 2025-26 season has mercifully come to an end. We kick things off with breaking news as the New Jersey Devils hire Sunny Mehta as their new GM, taking him off the board for the Leafs. Then we react to Auston Matthews' comments on locker cleanout day, the future of Craig Berube, William Nylander's attitude and more. We also give our thoughts on the bombshell Athletic piece about Keith Pelley and AI, and look ahead to a Stanley Cup playoffs without the Leafs.
