If Matthews scores 50 and 100 which I expect he will, he will get McDavid money. Nylander is not worth $7M and he won’t be getting it from the Leafs. Maybe after a bridge deal. You have undervalued Marner who is arguably the second best player on the team.
Please use the quote function, as I am only guessing you are talking to me here. As it stands, Marner is only marginally better than Nylander, and would not get a huge raise on him (500 to 750k). Even you say yourself that Nylander is not worth 7, so why would Marner, who is a very similar player, be worth that much more than him? All predictions above 7.5-8 are guessing he will have a completely dominate season. I think he will have a better season, and I am fully aware he could go as high as 8, but I cannot see him getting any higher than 8 based on his play. Why? because of his comparables. Let me link you the newer cap chart I am working on so you can see for yourself. Just a warning, it is unfinished right now.

On Matthews:
As I said, McDavid won 3 trophies and utterly dominated the league all year in his contract year. To even get 12, Matthews needs to win one of the big 4 (Rocket, Hart, Art Ross, and Conn Smythe). His comparables have him at 11, with Cap inflation.
