Isn’t Carey Price paid about the same? Hahaha
Signed for a million less and bought 8 years, this is a terrible deal for the TML.

I don't even think $11.6 million is even that bad for Matthews, I had him pegged at $11 million so this value isn't bad. The problem here is that he's at $11.6 million with only buying out 1 UFA year, that's not a good contract. They gave Matthews an 8 year, 4 UFA year cap hit for a contract that was only 5 years and 1 UFA year, that's not a good deal.
McDavid is a 900k better player than Matthews (apparently)
Ppg when they signed isn’t closeThe fact that Matthews will now make $5mil more than Pastrnak is laughable. Pastrnak 70 or more points last 3 seasons including this one, Matthews has never hit 70 points. "But he's a center!!!" doesn't make him worth $5mil more either.
Was there an expectation that the AAV would be lower ? I can understand that want for a longer contract. Kids a stud.
Unloaded MartinDubas handing out these big contracts like candy. Dude has been horrible.
To me " but what do I know " This does not seem like a home town discount . McDavid only makes 900 K more
