Once the cap hits about $92M the big 4 contacts will start looking good. That will put Matthews at about the same % of the cap as Ovi when he won.
Matthews isn't going anywhere for his whole contract. That will also be the same window Dubas has to figure it out. If not he will get the special "nice knowing ya loser" MLSE gives to all their discarded employees. Just like Kadri, Andersson, and Babcock MLSE will sick the media dogs they own after him. Remember how Babcock was a super genius head coach and the best in the world for winning gold medals with a team and coaching staff I could have been the head coach of and won? Then on his way out all the same media turned on him and were suddenly upset over how he treated players in Detroit, none of which was new information and how suddenly mean he was to little Mitch? This is your future Dubas. Those big 4 contracts that the MLSE owned media supported and helped convince Leafs Nation were good will suddenly become the worst contracts in the world in every article out of the GTA and Dubas will be run out of town.
