NHL 2024-25

I was listening to the game on the radio Friday night and they mentioned Matthew's not playing was more a cap issue between Matthews and Connor Dewar then it was an injury? This was mentioned by Joe Bowen and Jim Ralph. They are the Laeafs Radio crew and reputable. No idea how this is playing into the cap, but if I was Matthews and a newly appointed Captain I'd be fn pissed! A quick Google search this morning mentions nothing about the cap, just the Leafs being cautious about an upper body injury lol.
I agree, I am smelling something fishy about the Matthews thing.
