By 2027-28 its going up tp 113 M plus...so 93 M next year 103 M in 2026-27...that's significant

Yes. But we can also expect the players' contracts to go up with the raise in the cap. Stephenson as a 3C should be ok for the later half of this contract.

At 50 million for 7 years for Matty, this could roughly apply to him, too, no? This might seem outrageous, but if Wright continues to improve and Catton realizes his potential, a future where Beniers ends up our 3rd line centre is not utterly inconceivable. In fact, it might be ideal.

Yeah. That could certainly happen as well. And I don't think it is all that outrageous. Matty is on pace for less than 45 points this season. It's a slight improvement over the 37 points for last year but still not as good as the 2022-23 season, where he had 57 points.

None of those numbers are good enough for a "good" 2C. Yes, he is defensively responsible, but he needs to start producing more, or he could very easily be pushed down to our 3C.
