Auston Matthews rumored as the Maple Leafs next captain after major slip up

When John Tavares was named captain of the Maple Leafs, many thought the role was meant for Auston Matthews. However, Matthews lost the opportunity due to off-ice legal trouble and failing to inform the organization about it. Since then, Matthews has been the assistant captain, with many fans now pushing for him to take on the captain role.

After another disappointing playoff loss, the debate about the team's captaincy has resurfaced. In Logan Paul's recent YouTube video, it appears that Matthews might be the next captain. A screenshot from Paul's video, taken at 12:16, seems to hint at this change.

While this could be an editing mistake, it might also hint at a future change. The Maple Leafs might be considering stripping John Tavares of the captaincy and giving it to Matthews to change the team culture.

Only time will tell what the Maple Leafs decide, but this is certainly something to watch.
