Auston Matthews spotted attempting to recruit a star player to the Maple Leafs
Toronto Maple Leafs superstar Auston Matthews recently posted on his Instagram story, showing him spending time with Utah Hockey Club star Clayton Keller.
The post featured their dogs having a playdate, indicating that Matthews and Keller were hanging out together this summer.
Additionally, a fan reported seeing the two forwards at a UFC fight last month.
This has sparked speculation about their futures in the NHL. Some fans think Auston Matthews could be traded to Utah, while others believe Keller might join the Maple Leafs.
Keller was previously linked to the Leafs in trade rumors involving Mitch Marner, with Utah reportedly interested in Marner. However, Matthews and Keller have a long history as friends, having played together for the USNTDP and representing the U.S. in multiple World Junior Championships. This playdate was likely just two old friends catching up during their off-season. While it would be exciting to see them on the same NHL team, it seems more realistic that Keller could join Matthews in Toronto rather than Matthews moving to Utah.
