I'm going to guess 8 x 12

 

[pown]

12.25

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

12.6 aav

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

...AAV under $12 mill??...


...EDIT: nope, but still under $13...good deal...

 

[SuperJoe]

f***ing fantastic

 

[Avsboy]

Fair deal

 

[howboutahug]

12.6 X 8 confirmed by Baugh

 

[Flan the incredible]

I will guess 8 years 10.5 mill a year

Edit: I thought he was going to shock everyone with a hometown discount. Fair deal though

 

[Revansky]

Make sense. Gonna be the highest paid player until Matthews next contract.

 

[RutherPlan]

Colorado is officially in cap hell for the next 8 years.

 

[Duck Off]

That's a lot, but what can you do if you're the Avs? He's a top 5 player in the league who just lead his team to the Stanley Cup.

 

[Tact]

highest paid player by 100k lol

 

[abo9]

f***ing fantastic

"Fantastic"?

Are you just happy that he's locked an extension with Colorado?

 

[Patrik Barkov]

Really wanted to one up McJesus eh?

 

[Avsboy]

highest paid player by 100k lol

Just enough to put food on the table

 

[BeLeafing]

Great term and great number. He gets paid and gets to stay in Colorado for life.

Would love this to set the table for what Matthews gets next offseason.

 

[nbwingsfan]

Guess those “highest paid player in the NHL” reports were right?

Fair-ish deal but many Avs fans assured everyone he would be giving a discount because he said so.

 

[Brodeur]

 

[ScottyK]

Good for him

 

[Hale The Villain]

That's a lot of chickpea pasta

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

Steal for Colorado imo. Big money but well worth it.

21.6m for Makar + Mack is a hell of a foundation.

 

[23Monahan]

Colorado is officially in cap hell for the next 8 years.

Caps going to go up, and even if that is the case, Mackinnon at 12.6 is MORE than fair

 

[ottawa]

I think he deserves that 12.6m but at that price I would have pushed for 6 or 7 years if I were Sakic unless they're convinced his play will hold up until he's 36
