McDavid Draisaitl contract watch continues. I'd guess 97 to be in 13m range on an 8 year deal. We'll see.

Don't really usually care what guys get but in this case I hope he doesn't get it. Matthews will want close to the same soon..

I think that song has been overplayed and nobody's listening anymore.

Probably go with a stop-gap 4/5 from FA or blow our brains out on Shattenkirk.

Agreed, The Superstars are going to make tons of cash. Why put your team in a poor financial situation by demanding a high salary. Sid took the lowest money the NHL would allow. Paid off big time.

I don't think the leafs walked away, they said jvr refused to waive and sign extension. Same

I honestly don't think Matthews will ask for the same money.

McDavid should get an 8 yr deal for $104M.

I think Matthews will get an 8 yr deal at $72M

If McDavid is serious about winning a cup he won't cripple his team and sign for that much. If McDavid signs for $13M what does Draisaitl go for, $10M?

Just look at the situation in Chicago now and how Toews/Kane's $10.5M deals (along with a couple other deals) have handcuffed that team. They are LUCKY to be able to gain Hossa's cap.

30% more than Sid's deal.. Hurts their team, I hope he gets that deal all day.

I didn't say I want Matthews to get that.. Hoping for 7.5 for 8 years, for Matthews and a little less for Mitch and Willie.

How many did they win after the 2 signed their big contracts ?? The first one, they were still on their entry level contracts.. is it 1 or 2?
- bixll



Actually, none.

They won their first when on their ELC's. the 2nd and third, they were both at the 6-6.5M mark

Yeah, but you know damn well Matthews is going to use McDavid's contract as somewhat of a comp. So, like he said, be careful what you wish for.

Matthews won't sign a contract for 5.5M less a year than McDavid if he gets that number.

Matthews will take 1 mil a year for 8 years and stock options in Bell and Rogers.

I hear ya, but McDavid's deal has the potential to screw a lot of teams, and given where we are with 34, 16, and 29 I think the repercussions have the potential to (frank) us badly.

Every time one of these ridiculous deals are signed the bar is inched upward toward more unreasonable deals in the future... Which eventually leads to a lockout.

Rinse, wash, repeat.

And they won't vest until he's 45 right? Just to make sure he can't leave.
