Well the problem stems from Dubas signing Tavares to a long term deal the summer before his 3 prized young stars. In hind sight, Dubas saves J.T.'s cap money to spend on an upgrade of their D. Rookie GM mistake believing he could get all his RFA stars signed cheap.
With this part i cant agree....you dont let generational player that wants to play for your team to slip away. His 11M were based on 9 Seasons production where he showed multiple times hes 80+ player, tho that shouldnt earn you 11M per year but SJS were there with 13M i think....so you overpay. Some over-simplified full-proof theory about the Salary in Cap era is 10 Points are bringing you 1M with long-term contract ( 7-8y ), you get "few bucks more" if you are generational talent tho.
Same went with Nylander who was Paid for his past production with 600k above it like inflation and cap rise and such.
Completelly different with Matthews where according to what i wrote above how Points / Salary could be seen he jumped on 10 Points is worth 2M with short-term contract. Kick in the head right away. Only guy till now paid for "what he will be or we think he will" ( besides Eichel and we all know what we called out on that contract )

Matthews should have got Eichel money,
Marner should have got Draisaitl money, and
Nylander should have got Larkin money.
Couldnt agree more
