According to the same source, the 17-year-old's decision is down to two possibilities - either join the Canadian junior team Everett Silvertips or make the move to Switzerland and sign with the ZSC Lions as earlier reports suggested.
As the general manager of the Silvertips, Gary Davidson, is quoted, he expects a decision on Wednesday or Thursday. However, he does not know how Matthews intends to make this announcement. (lcu)
