I agree with the 6 year contracts, I think it will be a trend in the league, players will bet on themselves and go for a mega 3rd contract.
Matthews 11 x 6 is 66 million - 13.25 % of the cap
Marner 9 x 6 is 54 million - 10.84 % of the cap
Assuming the cap continues to grow by about 3 million per year the cap will be 101 million when their deals are done. They will probably sign for more percentage of the cap too because it will be ufa years at that point and their stock will also probably go up, but even if they sign at the same percentages, their next contracts could be
Matthews 13.4 x 8 is 107 million
Marner 11 x 8 is 88 million
And thats just the low side of the spectrum, if they both go up 2% of the cap it could be 15.15 x 8 for Matthews and 13.13 x 8 for Marner. They'd finish these contracts at 35 and life would be grand. 6 years is the perfect in between for having financial certainty but also betting on yourself for an even bigger 3rd contract when you are 27 in your prime
