A ton of these signing are absolutely best case scenario if all the core are absolutely committed to winning a cup with Toronto.
Realistically speaking i dont think Nylander or Matthews take discounts anywhere near what you've suggested here.
If Nylander continues to be a 30 goal ppg player he would get offered a lot more than 7M, and he would be a fool to accept a long term deal that doesn't give him a raise. When factoring in the increased salary cap this is him taking a huge pay cut just in terms of his current contract. Who believes Nylander is going to take a paycut?
Matthews is going to get offered huge money from a team like LA if he gets anywhere near free agency. He is going to be 26 years old when he is eligible to sign a new deal as a UFA. What team with 14M million in cap space isn't going to offer him that kind of money.
I still think there is a good chance we hold onto Matthews and Nylander but there is no way they take contracts with low of an AAV.
