Leafs extend Keefe and Keefe on Matthews wrist
David Alter: Leafs coach Sheldon Keefe on Auston Matthews’ wrist: “The fact that he’s been on the ice every day and hasn’t had a setback is a positive step.”
Pierre LeBrun: The Toronto Maple Leafs have agreed on a two-year extension for head coach Sheldon Keefe according to sources. He was in the final year of his contract.
TSN: Pierre LeBrun on Insider Trading:
“I’m sure a lot of people are saying why sign this guy to an extension now after they’ve lost out in the opening round of the playoffs two years straight. On the flip side, this is his first full 82-game season with the Toronto Maple Leafs. They believe in him, but it’s a prove-me contract still at two years, not a five-year extension.”
