Elliotte says he thinks Matthews will be 4 or 5 years.
Says Nylander is further apart w the Buds. They are working on it. Buds want to keep him. EF says he is looking at at least a 9. https://t.co/mWSegazMCJ

Ohhhhh! Elliotte says he thinks the Matthews money will be in the 13 range. That is tasty.
EF says he doesn't want people to run with that number..but he still put it out there.

This keeps with the trend from his last deal of getting what would be a somewhat fair 8 year AAV but only for 5 years.
Just fuck my shit up.
could be worse ššš
Gross and disgustingā¦ there goes any chance at McJesus if this comes true
If this is true, it’s at least better than his last contract. Gave him everything he wanted.
Sign him but make sure there’s an out that you can trade him.
Hes not worth that $. Wish Dubas didn’t hand cuff the Leafs with a NTC on his first deal.
At 5 years I’d sign that yesterday
I donāt see how this team will work with the core 4 taking up more slices of the pie
Better not be an NTC
I heard MLSE is just gonna give him the code to their vault and not actually announce an AAV
Honestly sounds fine tbh. Seems like so many people are ready to scrutinize any signing that isn’t 8 years @ less than his current contract (never going to happen).
The haters are dedicated. At this point he could sign for 900k, with an added signing bonus of a complimentary Stanley Cup, and people would still complain about how he could’ve taken less and could’ve gotten two complimentary cups.
Matthews cares about Matthews, not the Leafs.
Which is fine. We all knew it.
There is no way this team will be deep enough to win with 3 or 4 guys trying to claw every last cent.
