Matttews is money hungry now I see why he has the pa$$ion of playing in Toronto.
Overpay by 1M
WHAT THE HELL 13.25—
NAH TRADE HIM BRO WTF IS WRNOG WITH THE LEAFS GM-
TRADE BRO TO A BAD TEAM SO GMS HAVE REASON TO NOT PAY LIKE THAT
Wonder where nylander ends up now
Idk matthews getting 13m is a lot but is it crazy? I mean is it unrealistic that he could of gotten 14+ elsewhere? Especially if he has a good year
Too much
Why tf wouldn't he get 13 Million+
WTH? I would have just traded him for picks and a heavy return. $13m a year is basically bye bye to the Cup. He isn't going to win the Cup by himself no matter how well he plays, even if he scores 150 points a year. How do you get cap space to sign anyone else? And now, every other star players on the Leafs would want a huge payday. What? You just signed some overpaid dude for $13m, and now you are going to ask me to take a pay cut for the team to win the Cup? No way, pay me! Very dumb move by Toronto management.
BTW, where was Matthews in the 2nd round of last year's playoffs?
No cup in Toronto anytime soon. Lol
4 years for 53 million lol bro ainโt no Connor McDavid
I feel like this contract is just more evidence that he doesnโt care about winning.
Overpay by 1.5mill and to short of term
Jack Hughes gets 8
Totally team friendly…
The leafs and he definitely want a cup. I love it. Apologies leafs fans, the rest of the league loves your misfortune.
longer term he gets 12.5 shorter term he gets 13.25, i got no issue.
Analysts and insiders were theorizing around 14.5 million, and for around 3 years.
He clomes in 1.25 mil under and one year longer than what people were thinking.
1.6 million is basically trading away kampf and having someone like cowan or minten on league min coming in in a year or two time.
This is exciting because tavares will be like 34 or 35 by the time he resigns and i dont think he will command 11 million per year. At 35 years old 6 million per year is realistic. He may get more because of the cap being higher, and he's the captain
At 7 million per year the leafs still save 4 million per year
Its good to see Toronto player cares about his teammates. lol
Waitโฆ the coyotes should be good by the time Auston Matthews is ready to be traded, or let go ๐คฏ๐คฃ sooooooo big papi going home?
Give me 4 Laffer's and i will win the cup way before the Leafs will, and i will have enough money left over to party hardy like a Rock Star, i mean a Toronto maple leaf star player, lol. In a flat cap era , the contracts just become more and more surreal. Reality went out the door 4 years ago when the flat cap era started, with no sign of sanity returning anywhere in sight.
Half the Leafs team has a no trade clause lol. Dubas was such a crap GM.
Wow.. over 24 mil for leafs top 2 centres next year
You can tell this kid was heart broken when Matthews resigned. He made like 300 videos on Matthews leaving lmfao. Your a joke Lego make better content and maybe your channel might grow
As if the Leafs weren't in a bit of Cap Hell now
Next year(24-25) will be interesting
Makes sense. He'll give them 4 more years to see if they can make a few deep playoff runs. If not, move the hell on. Also, I think there are a few players at the $8-10M zone that are better deals than having Mathews on your team and allow for more salary room. At the end of the day, Mathews is soft. Cheers
LOL good luck getting the the third round when one player makes 15% of the cap.
