Auston Matthews, the Arizona native and NHL standout, has recently extended his contract with the Maple Leafs, putting any hopes of him joining the Arizona Coyotes on hold.
Despite his childhood admiration for the Phoenix Coyotes, Matthews playfully jabbed at his former favorite team, commenting,
"Coyotes were never good enough to have a rival."
The intriguing question lingers: might Matthews contemplate returning to his home state once his new contract concludes, especially if the Coyotes become a formidable contender in the future?
