Our three punks will sign bridge deals under 7 each.
2-3 years each deal.

I think the best course of action is to give them 8 years as early as possible. Might seem high initially, but will level out.

the Leafs have smart people in place now to manage the cap, not like 2012-2013 and the Kessel/Dion/Clarkson Leafs.

they have given out value deals to Gardiner and Kadri since

why is it overpaying?

and Managing players contracts and cap hits is not about what they are worth right this second. You are paying for future production. the point is for the players Value to be more than the contract, which thats a good bet on. Same with Matthews at 10 or 11

You get in trouble paying Lucic 6 mil and Russel 4 mil ..they are not worth the deal for what you actually get in terms of wins from them

Matthews hasn't done sh!t as of this moment and his not worth 10-11 at all.
Crosby toews Kane all won cups prior to their big deals.
In two years if the leafs win a cup and if Matthews continues potting 40 each year. Then pay him 10-11. But no cup...no double digit. IMO

This is more proof that the leafs best years to win a cup cap wise are the next two.

McDavid will set the bar for Matthews if he has 2 more great years under his current contract.

40 goals as a rookie counts as "hasn't done sh!t"?

Its great.
It's one year.
No cup.

Not double digits without a cup

Just so I understand..Matthews is not worth $10M + per until he wins a Cup?

Ya I don't see Lou signing him to 10 plus without it.
Unless the cap continues to go up or Matthews wins some hardware.
That will change things

if he keeps improving and at the end of entry level deal the comparable is McDavid....he is getting close to what McD will get. Pat Brisson, Matthews agent is not stupid. Top guys like that get a certain % of the salary cap at the time the deal is done. If the cap is at 80M in 2 years...Matthews will get over 10M for sure if he keeps it up.

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.

- As_I_See_It

Draisaitls comparables don't make 10m...why would he?
