Logan Paul Video Fuels Rumors of Auston Matthews Becoming Next Leafs Captain

The Leafs have already experienced change this Summer, firing head coach Sheldon Keefe and the appointment of Craig Berube as his successor.

In the video with Auston Matthews, there was a graphic on screen identifying Matthews as the team captain while he conversed with Paul.
Naturally, this sparked a frenzy on social media, with many speculating about John Tavares' future role.

However, it's important to consider that this could simply be a mistake by Paul's editing team.

They probably viewed Matthews' current role as an assistant captain for that of the team captaincy.

Should John Tavares leave, Matthews would likely be the new captain, especially as Tavares nears the final year of his contract. A leadership change under Berube's tenure could signal a shift in the Leafs' strategy and culture.

For now, it's wise to take this buzz lightly. Such speculation often arises from moments that may be blown out of proportion for dramatic effect and clicks. The Leafs will make any official announcements regarding leadership changes in due time.
