Yes. He’s not a can’t miss player clearly. And the ones that are sign deals that you can win with.
Post the deals that have been like his please.

Well always have to fill out the roster with trash because our leaders are greedy. They don't care about winning.

This GM gave over 5M of cap space to Klingberg and Reaves. The problem isn't Matthews making a little over what he should make. He's world class.
This team can win with Matthews making 13M a year. They can't win with Reaves and Klingberg taking over 5M of cap space and that's on the GM/team for getting bad players on bad contracts.
imagining have best goal scorer in the league, franchise caliber and future hall of famer...and still complaining that he didn't take a discount...get a life sheesh

It's what you do under a cap when you wanna win.

Hughes is probably the competition for the Hart....or was pre injury I suppose.
And then Bertuzzi taking another 5.5. None of these players will be back next season so hopefully his next moves are a little better

Sucks that we signed a bunch of UFAs that wanted a pay day and a stat boost over wanting to win then huh?

Imagine wanting your team to win more than whatever individual crap you're talking about. Especially when the best players (better than him) DID take a discount.

He playing like the best player in the league.
Carrying the team on his back

We're looking at another 60 goal season and numerous people will rant about him and call him overrated. Okay there...

The people hyping him back up after 2 games aren't any better. He has major consistency issues right now that he needs to sort out. Still doesn't look like the 60 goal hart trophy matthews we saw a couple seasons ago.
11 out of 13 of his goals are from the first 2 games of the season and these last 2 games.
Petey in Vancouver will be in the conversation if the Canucks make the playoffs
He's still doing this without his wrister.
Yes he still has a wrist shot but it's not the same one he used to do. There was a post earlier in this thread of him lasering one to the corner with his curl and drag wrister off the left side. I don't recall the last time I've seen that.
I'm going to be very disappointed if we never see it at that level again. It's one of the best wristers ever seen in hockey.
I might be getting a bit carried away but I swear he could be at 20 goals right now if he was firing wristers like he used to.

I just don’t think human wrists are meant to move that way 10 shots a night 82 games a year + 10s of thousands of reps in practice. Semin ran into severe wrist issues early on, Kessel transitioned into of a playmaker as he got into his 30s. Meanwhile Ovi, Stamkos, Kovy, Kuch and other slapshot-first guys don’t have the same drop-off into their 30s.
He’s a f***ing stud, one of the best handful of players in the league, no doubt. For that matter, Marner, Nylander and Rielly are all studs too, and JT has been having a nice bounce back too.
Anyone blaming any of our stars for our so-so start is out to lunch - they’ve all been delivering. The struggles have mostly been related to Sammy playing the worst hockey of his career, and basically every Treliving addition except Gregor performing poorly. Hopefully they turn it around (I think Sammy, Bertuzzi and Domi all have the ability to play better, not so sure about Klingberg or Reaves), because we don’t wanna waste the performances we’re getting from Matthews, Nylander, Marner, JT and Rielly.

“His 50 goals weren’t in his first 50 games”
Matthews and the 2023-24 NHL season might have something to say about that
Lol he had several chances where he could’ve easily had his 4th hat trick of the season in his 12th game and the people hyping him up aren’t any better

He's so good. It's too bad he's been sorrounded with questionable management Dubas included, and questionable coaches at the same time.

If you want your team to win, you're going to want one of the best players in the world more than cap space.
Whoever you're referring to, you're likely wrong. I mean, most superstar contracts (including Matthews') are technically discounts, because the pay scale in the NHL is wonky to inflate the middle class, but the type of discounts you're likely referring to are extremely rare. People mistake their own bad contract valuation and player evaluation skills for "discounts" all the time.
I know right. If we just remove multiple hat tricks and like half the season, then he has less goals! What a bum!

We had a significant amount of cap space this past summer. The roster is filled out with trash because the GM signed trash.
