Toronto Maple Leafs star forward Auston Matthews has switched agencies, moving from CAA Hockey to Orr Hockey Group.

As of July 1, Matthews can begin formal contract extension talks with the Maple Leafs. The 2016-17 Calder Trophy winner scored 34 goals and added 29 assists in 62 games for Toronto this past season.

Connor McDavid, who signed a an eight-year, $100-million deal in 2017, is one of Orr Hockey Group’s marquee clients.
