If he signs this off season it will be between 10.5 and 11, if he signs after next year then it will be 12+ with the cap going up. Regardless, he will be in Toronto for a long time.
We'll see what happens, if he waits another year and just a little improvement and good health he could hit 90 points next year.
I agree the OP is being a little back handed and does not see the flaws in his argument. What has a point a game C done to merit a good contract? Really? It does not take a lot of imagination to see him scoring 40+ goals any year he's healthy. 34 goals after missing 20 games. C'mon OP, you're trying too hard.
I think 80 is more likely.
Still a $10 Million dollar player.
Have the "he is injury prone" posts started yet? It did when McDavid got hurt. Tiresome.

No, I don't.I bet you think Eichel has though don't you
Well of course you think he has peaked as a sophomore. Most objective people probably think he has room to grow yet.
I'm sure it doesIt seems to me that he hasn't done anything to justify a contract over 10 mil.
Dial it back there. I was replying to a post that said next year. I think 80 is more realistic than 90. I never said he has peaked. Jebus.
I'm pretty objective when it comes to Matthews. Take a look at my posts. Are you?
He must have a good agent if he’s able to convince Lou he’s worth 10 million while finishing out of top 60 in scoring.
LOL
Matthews finished the season with 63 points in 62 games, average that over a full 82 game season and he would've finished with 83 points in his second season. That would've placed him in the top 20 in scoring.
He finished the season with 34 goals in 62 games, average that over a full season and he would've scored 45 goals, good enough for 2nd in the ENTIRE LEAGUE.
All that and he played with the season with the 2nd pp unit which was off all season. Marner's unit is the top unit, the numbers show it, they were historically good. Just for reference, Matthews finished last year with 21 PP points, which would be 4 more than what he averaged this year. If he finished with even the same amount of pp points as he had last year, he would've finished 11th in league scoring, 2 points back of Crosby...in his SECOND SEASON. The numbers show he's improved this year so who knows how many pp points he could've had hypothetically speaking.
That's why he's worth at least $10 million
He's this era's Malkin and we got this era's Kane too (Marner) , just embrace it.
What is and projections? Can you read? All I said was if he played all 82 games like he did his first season, his numbers pace out to 83... you know...ppg?Certainly not saying he's not a great player. That’s a steep contract for a guy with a bunch of “what if’s and projections”
I’d rather see him actually put up the numbers to get paid.
There have even been comparisons,in the Maple Leaf fan base to Mcdavid numbers. Off the top of my head I heard a stat he is almost 90 pts behind Mcdavid over the past two yrs. That’s a decent gap imo

Also, peep the ice time difference between McDavid and Matthews...and it's hard to argue with the results seeing as the Leafs are an 105 point team with Matthews the best player and the Oilers being dog ****.
Matthews is 4th in the league in the last 2 years in ES Total Points per 60min and 1st in primary points per 60min
I guess we can agree to disagree, all I know is when I look up scoring leaders on NHL.com..
I see Mcdavid Crosby Taveres Stamkos Draisaitl all the top players, but I can’t find him.
I’m sure Lou will look at that at contract time
That's the great news for Leaf fans - McDavid's huge lead in traditional stats, even though it's very misleading, almost certainly means that the Leafs will be able to sign Matthews to a much better deal.
It's actually the great thing about Babcock's minutes-limiting system all-around - all of Matthews, Marner, Nylander, Rielly are better than their raw totals say they are, and they'll all be on bargain contracts as a result.
The opposite of, say, Draisaitl - who is an excellent player, but whose raw scoring numbers make him look better than he actually is.
Yes you are correct, just cause Mcdavid only scores at close to double the rate of Matthews doesn’t mean he’s a better scorer.
But in the traditional sense. And using real numbers not projections and maybes...it’s not close
LOL
