Eichel needs to stop being used as a comparable for anyone’s contracts (Barzal, Matthews, etc). He got overpaid to keep him happier in that s**tshow they’re running in Buffalo

Matthews is an RFA and doesn’t have the kind of leverage in negotiations where he can say “I want this and won’t accept a penny less.” Sure he can hold out a year and become a UFA but is it wise to miss a whole year of hockey while he’s still so young? He knows it’s not. If Matthews goes out and has a full PPG season and doesn’t miss a large chunk of time I don’t mind giving him the full 10 but realistically it’s gonna be closer to 9 than 10-11 like people are sayingI disagree, If I am Matthews agents I go in and say this is how much McDavid Got and this is how Much Eichel Got. At worst I accept 9.5M
But I don’t want to hijack this thread about Barzal so I’m gonna leave it at thatI disagree, If I am Matthews agents I go in and say this is how much McDavid Got and this is how Much Eichel Got. At worst I accept 9.5M
How am I not surprised that there's more Matthews talk in here than Barzal talk? lmao
Kinda pathetic really
Eichel has had seasons of 56 pts,57 pts and 64 pts.
He has never come close to the 85 pts Barzal has put up.
Quit getting caught up in where they were drafted.
Because he’s proving to be injury prone and won’t play enough games to ever get to 80-90.Matthews so far has absolutely shown to be worth a lot more than 7.5-8.5mil a season, i would suggest actually watching him because your obviously misinformed.
Also why are you pretending like Matthews scoring 80-90 points next year is not realistic? He had 63 in 62 games this year even with having to come back from injuries several times. Everybody already knows Matthews will be one of the top C's in the game so paying him a bit extra for potential is to be expected.

Then let him put his injuries behind him, score those 100 points and then he can be called a 100 pt player.injuries...
57 in 61
64 in 67
Maybe because he's one of the closest comparables.
Your post is pretty pathetic. 0 value.
Oh yes, posts about how Matthews is so injury prone are so important in discussions about Barzal's new contract. There's a thread about Matthews new contract, please go there to talk about that.

Seriously, not every thread needs to be about the Leafs.

Are you a moderator? There's nothing wrong with discussing player comparables, if you don't like it, you have the choice to go elsewhere. So much whining on this forum...it's a discussion board.
I don't mind discussing Matthews' contract in comparison to Barzal's. I just wanted to point out there's another thread for strictly talking about Matthews, which was happening here.
And why should I go elsewhere to discuss Barzal's contract?
Boy, I've seen some pretty ignorant, hateful, vile things on the internet that have hurt my soul to the very core.
But then I saw someone ask Leaf fans to talk about Matthews's contract in a Matthews's contract thread as opposed to a Barzal's contract thread. The arrogance to do that has nearly paralyzed me with shock. I guess true evil does exist in this world.
Lol, because contract comparisons are never ever brought up by any other fan base in the hundreds of other threads in this forum, right?
It really is bizarre that so many think Matthews will get 11, but Laine and Barzal, who are better according to HF, are quoted at getting around 8 to 8.5 to 9.
All year we are told Matthews is lesser than players. Barzal is already better apparently, nevermind Laine being better.
In that Matthews contract thread that was linked, there are two instances of the word "Barzal" being typed. Here are both of them (from two Leaf fans):
So far zero "contract comparisons" from Islander fans venturing into that thread to talk about our guy.

Most are speculating Matthews will get around 11 million, so does that put Barzal around 12 million if he eclipses his point total again next year?
Why would he get less than Eichel and the speculated Matthews contract if he has a more productive first 2 years?
If Barzal eclipses this years numbers, which I think he will, that makes me think he will look at Eichel and Matthews and ask for more. Although I do think Matthews and Eichel play tougher minutes and have to shoulder more of the load.
His comparables include Eichel and Matthews, one got a similar deal and the other is expected to.
