My guess is that they all get 8 years.

Matthews around 10 if he repeats the season he had.
Marner and Willie around the 7.5 mark.

Bases upon the craziness that has been paid out in Oil country.

Matthews isn't worth $10 million if he repeats last season. He needs to improve. Same with Marner and Nylander. My estimates are based off if they repeat last season or marginally improve. If they get a lot better then they're worth your numbers.

The first player to score 40+ goals as a rookie since the best goal scorer of the generation will get paid if he repeats.

29 of his 40 goals were lucky, so doesnt count

Ovechkin has emotions. No way he's the cold blooded killer Matthews is. Besides, if OV killed somebody he would have it on his Russian Instagram in a heartbeat.

Yeah, Ovie likely would take a shirtless selfie with the decaying corpse I guess.

Matthews does have the look of a stone cold killer, and would melt the hearts of men, women and children alike

Do you not expect them to improve. They were kids last year.

Have you ever heard of the "sophmore slump"?

I guess we find out in a month and a half..

The stars don't usually have those. Sid, McDavid, OV. etc.. not so much of a slump.

IMO Matthews likely isn't at risk for it, but I think that Marner and Nylander both have good chances of having some difficulties. And it's not them, it's just that the league and players usually adjust.

laine and his sky high shooting % is most at risk.

werenski will have a hard time repeating his season.

nylander and matthews should be fine

i worry most about marner. bozak and jvr had big seasons. i could see that line as a whole dropping, if they're even together.

Most?

This

Enjoy your bust Winterpeg. Once his percentage adjusts this year you will have a big, slow, Gary Busey look-a-like

Nylander 5 years X $6 mil
Marner 4 years x $6 mil
Matthews 5 years x $10 mil

8 year deals scare me

I see what you did there
