Impossible. Arizona will dig in their couches and find 17 million per and steal him.
Toews has been making more than Crosby for years. Once the cap goes up, so do salaries. Making more doesn't mean you deserve more.He's not worth more than McDavid and it's sad he could get it
Great player all the same though
How many years to a new CBA?
I wonder if the new CBA will have like a franchise player tag (NBA) or let you have one guy you re sign not count against the cap.
I feel like the big teams will be pushing for some way to keep their top talent +.
Maybe its a cap with a major luxury tax.
Wonder if their are any thoughts of signing him for the length of the current cba + massive signing bonus for that year so they can work out a new deal under the new CBA. Wonder if team have an incling towards what the future will look like after this CBA. I assume the NHL already knows what it wants, and what the players association is willing to work with them on.
The Mcdavid contract will be passed soon. The cap went up 5 million, and will soar with Seattle in a couple of years.Yeah I don't see player or agents agreeing to the "no one gets paid more than McDavid" rule.
It wasn't that way for Crosby so why would it be different now. The cap inflates and salaries inflate along side that.
I think the Leafs are realizing they made a mistake not signing his extension first last summer.
Now the price starts there no matter what unless his scoring cools way off.
He's gone to Arizona.
Giving him 5 years could be a franchise-changing mistake.
This is difficult to understand. Why on earth would the Maple Leafs allow him to get to unrestricted free agency in just five years?
It's pretty clear Matthews and his agent are trying to meet in the middle. Instead of a discount, he signs a shorter contract to help the team win. At the end of the day, Matthews wants a payday, but will chance the next 5 years with the Leafs to win the cup. If the Leafs fail, he will go to the team that bids the highest (in his prime).
5 years = Arizona coyotes
will arizona even be in arizona in 5 years?5 years = Arizona coyotes

Matthews is closer to McDavid than Eichel.
The salary cap raised by 6%.
12.5$ Mil + 6% = 13.25$ Mil.
So if Matthews signs an equivalent deal than McDavid, it's about 13.25
Seems cheap. Add at least $1M to those.5 x 10
6 x 11
7 x 11.5
or
8 x 12
and slap a C on his chest.
He only gets the C if its a 7-8 year deal.5 x 10
6 x 11
7 x 11.5
or
8 x 12
and slap a C on his chest.
What? McDavid gets $12.5M and this was before cap rising up. If you think he is a McDavid quality player, then you're paying more.
Has he won an Art Ross? Ted Lindsay? Hart?What? McDavid gets $12.5M and this was before cap rising up. If you think he is a McDavid quality player, then you're paying more.
