The Toronto Maple Leafs are holding their annual locker clean out and season ending media availability today, albeit much later than they're used to. The Leafs, of course, finally made it out of the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs this season but stubbed their toe in the second round losing in five games to the Florida Panthers.

Now, just like every offseason, the Leafs are left to pick up the pieces and move on except this offseason there are some serious considerations to make regarding the team's future. It's no secret that GM Kyle Dubas and head coach Sheldon Keefe are unsigned beyond this season and it remains to be seen what happens with their future in Toronto, but on the ice there are even bigger decisions to be made.

Superstar forwards Auston Matthews and William Nylander are both entering the final year of their contracts and are eligible for extensions this offseason. But... do they want to stay? Or do they want to test the market as free agents? 

Both players stated unequivocally today that they intend on staying in Toronto and would like to sign extensions before next season begins.

Now the only question is... who signs their contracts? Dubas or a new hire?
