The #leafs have called an 11 a.m. press conference on Wednesday where they will officially unveil Auston Matthews as the 26th captain in franchise history.

Expect the Toronto Maple Leafs to name Auston Matthews captain on Wednesday. This is part of the evolution of Matthews as a leader and current Maple Leafs captain John Tavares fully supports the change. Tavares has been heavily involved in the process with GM Brad Treliving.

Blues offer sheets to Edmonton's D Philip Broberg at 2 x $4.58M and F Dylan Holloway at 2 x $2.29M.

More info:
*Oilers have seven days to decide on matching
*If they don’t match, will get a second-round pick (Broberg) and/or a third-rounder (Holloway)
*St. Louis made a trade with Pittsburgh to re-acquire their 2025 second-round pick so they could do this with Broberg (you must have your own picks to do an offer sheet)
*Oilers are tight to the cap, and AAVs signed here obviously much higher than Edmonton was offering

Lots to absorb
