The Toronto Maple Leafs have confirmed a significant trade involving superstar forward Auston Matthews. On July 12, Matthews posted a photo of his dog on Instagram Stories, which led to heightened speculation. The team has now officially traded Matthews to the Utah Hockey Club in exchange for forward Clayton Keller.
The recent photo shared by @adam_la2karis on X, featuring Auston Matthews’ dog alongside Clayton Keller’s dog having a “play date,” has confirmed a major trade. The two stars were indeed seen together at UFC 303 in late June, and now the deal is official: Auston Matthews has been traded to the Utah Hockey Club for Clayton Keller.
Clayton Keller has officially requested a trade from the Coyotes following their relocation to Salt Lake City, and the trade has been finalized. Keller is heading to Toronto to join his close friend Auston Matthews. The relocation challenges and the opportunity to play with Matthews were key factors in his decision.
Keller is currently in the fifth year of his eight-year, $57.2 million contract signed with the Coyotes (now based in Utah) in September 2019. Over his 520 games with the Coyotes, he has accumulated 166 goals and 252 assists, totaling 418 points.
