But if he's going to have the final say...

That means the future of Austin Matthews could be in the hands of Matt Sundin by the end of the week.
That's a big job, and that's very different.
Again, as the captain of the Maple Leafs, everyone loved Matz.
And listen, when he arrived, he's been through a weird introduction.
He got traded for Wendell Clark.
It's an incredibly difficult introduction.
It was the last trade anybody on earth wanted to see happen.
Nobody wanted Wendell traded after 93 and 94.
Wendell had 46 goals that year.
They went back-to-back semifinals.
Probably the most beloved athlete in the history of the city.
And they traded for Matt Sundin.
