Auston Matthews has signed a new contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs.

four years hahahahaha

4 years lol

Treliving: how much money do you want Auston?

Matthews:



Edit: ironically the guy in this meme actually looks like Matthews lol

I'm guessing there will be a lot of "no's" with this.

Guy is staying, all that matters. Not my money that's being spent.

Wth? Y'all are already in cap hell and this happens?

And only 4 years?

Ok, time to move the Coyotes

Perfect.
Decent term - Great AAV.

Leafs haters in shambles.
Voting no is just outing yourselves

Just gonna edit this in so people can understand why this is a great deal.
4 years ago when we were working on the last AM contract, they were talking about 8 years at 13.8 avv (same % as McDavid). Evidence
Instead we went with the 5@11.634 that turned into 11.640,250, and now another 4 at 13.25.
That averages out to 9 years at 12.35aav instead of the 8 years at 13.8aav.
THIS IS A HUGE WIN

Avs fans have got to be really pleased with the MacKinnon contract after seeing this.

Matt got Half the term and more money and he's an arguably worse player.

Get paid now, then sign a long deal in ARZ for a little less and make them relevant. Still won't win a cup with the Leafs

Most star players sign for 8 years

I know everyone’s saying he’s going to the Coyotes after his contract ends.

Let’s be real, he’ll be lucky if the Coyotes are still a thing by then.

No they don't.
Besides - We aren't paying for the decline - just the raw upside of the age curve

The AAV is honestly a steal for what Matthews brings to the Leafs, and since I believe that the Leafs are gonna be rebuilding in 4-5 years I don't see the term not being longer than 4 years as an issue what so ever.
Very good signing by the Leafs.

no discount but we'll take it ig

voted yes, simply because it could be a lot worse.

Looks like Matthews was gunning for a shorter team deal all the way. If that's the case and signing him for longer wasn't feasible, the Leafs did well to get their best player under contract and not risk going into the season with Matthews as a pending UFA.

W.
5 more years of Auston.
Reasonable cap hit too

Leafs did really well here, We knew he was gonna get medium term as has been reproted for the past year and half by Friedman, and he was gonna get more the Macks AAV,

13.25 is a pretty good number with the cap going up substantially over the next few years.

Think people are overeacting, that just me tho

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOO. No more Matthews to Pacific team for another 4 years!

Let's say yes for cap hit no for term?

If he stays they'll absolutely be paying for the decline. Fully expect him to get 15 x 8 when he's 29 and his wrist is busted.

WDYM? He could have signed for up to 15... It's a discount

Exactly my thoughts

Lets be real. What people expect on CF hasn't ever happened with regards to AM.
4 more years at a steal of an aav. Beautiful contract
