This one will be a lot shorter than the last one unless the behavior improves.

[Garbageyuk]

8 years, 13M AAV.

 

[Hockeyholic]

Matthews will get 12 million per at mininum. Rightfully so too. Players of his caliber dont come around very often.

 

[bionic]

Between 10.5 and 11 for 8 years.

 

[leaffaninvancouver]

It’s going to be amusing when he signs for fair market value and not the inflated numbers being thrown around.

 

[Marshy]

Between 10.5 and 11 for 8 years.

This.

 

[leaffaninvancouver]

This.

Yeah something between 9.5-11 is what I see but I think it’s closer to 9.5 than 11.

 

[BAM]

10-11 for 8 years IMO, 10 if he really wants to help out the Leafs

 

[Garbageyuk]

It's going to be amusing when you realize market value for him next summer will be around 13M AAV.

 

[Lukin1978]

I see around 11 mill a year

 

[Marshy]

If Matthews value is 13M X 8 next summer it's going to be nice having a 50 goal Conn Smythe winner on the Leafs though.

 

[Ziggdiezan]

Yup, Matthews likely signs around 10.5 to 11 million for 8 years with some massive signing bonuses before the next possible lockout

It’s a lost cause some people seem to think if his agent demands it then it has to happen.

I’m looking forward to his signing so we can stop seeing ridiculous numbers and people suggesting an offer sheet is going to happen.

Eh there's all kinds and all ages on here. You just gotta laugh and realize it's not worth getting too worked up about.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

8 years, 13M AAV.

Not a dime over 11

 

[Garbageyuk]

We will see.

Yesterday it was 11.5 now it's 12 are you just rasing the price every day?

 

[Garbageyuk]

Have you figured out the difference in salary negotiation and leverage between UFA’s and RFA’s yet?

It doesn't matter here. Matthews is the face of the franchise, and the centerpiece of the Leafs rebuild. He is going to get paid. More condescending BS...Have you figured out that you don't have to be hostile and condescending every time someone has a different opinion than you yet?

Many players are the face of the franchise that doesn’t mean anything in a negotiation. His closest comparable players are Eichel and McDavid, neither make 13.5 million.

We’re not going to agree and that’s fine but there is a reason my estimate is closer to everyone else’s and yours is so high. You’re welcome to believe what you want but deep down you know your numbers are inflated.

 

[Hunter368]

Eichel cap hit was “x” % of the cap at the time he signed his deal.

McDavid cap hit was “x” % of the cap at the time he signed his deal.

AM’s % of new cap, will be some where between Eichel’s % and McDavid %....that will determine his actual AAV. Too lazy to look up both Eichel % and McDavid % at the time of contracts signed.

IMO

Yeah, I don't think so buddy. It's my opinion. It's as simple as that.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

We will see.

We will I think this team wants to win they will take slightly less to make that happen.

Besides that though Matthews can't get 13 million that's more than Mcdavid, Matthews will not be the highest paid player in the NHL that just won't happen

The contracts are two years apart. The market/cap changes every year - he could get more. Besides, even if 13M AAV made him the highest paid player in the league, it wouldn't be for long.

IMO

It’s 400k right now from last year to this year. But those guys would be this year to next so we don’t really know yet

 

[Marshy]

Maybe he gives Dubas a 20% discount on 13.5M?
