What is just like Matthews? You make no sense.

Unless you're suggesting Matthews is a comparable to Marner (which still seems odd to be addressing my post that is saying Kane and Panarin aren't good comparables).

But the problem of using Matthews as a comparable is that he's a center instead of a winger. Centers generally earn more. Matthews also scores more goals, and probably has a higher points per game (although this year Marner might've done better).

Im comparing Matthews to other centre UFAs.

People get emotional when players are in salary negotiations. Once he's signed, we'll mostly band together to argue with all the trolls from other teams saying how much he sucks, that he's overpaid, and that he's only good cause he plays with Tavares.

I bet Matthews' camp used contracts like McDavid's as his comparable. He's not quite as good, but it could still be used as a sort of benchmark.

What possible proof do you have they used UFA centers as comparables when he negotiated?

North American deserts rock. Ive been a fine dinning chef for close to 25 years and i've always prefered them to French deserts. There's something about baklava though.

Strawberry cheesecake is the king, then there's about twenty others i could interchange depending on my mood. I'd probably have to bump baklava to top ten now that i think about it.

Yeah give me Italian and Asian mains and American dessert and I'm happy.

He could sign 10x8 and easily make a boatload in endorsements

Hahah yup!

I’m not near the bush, I’m in the middle of it, and we have 25 acres here. All the neighbours grow dope too.

Not to get political, but legalizing weed is really hard to argue against.

People getting all indignant and butthurt that he hasn't signed, when other RFAs haven't either. Typical Laffs fans want to trade Marner. It's a Chiariffic idea.

Yeah, he's my favorite Leaf. I hope and think he'll get signed. I do hope Dubas plays a bit of hard ball though and gets his idiot agent to agree to a reasonable price we can work with.

Crosby, Malkin, Toews, Kane, and Stamkos all signed 5 year deals. Matthews is the third best player, and rightfully has the third highest cap hit percentage.


But Dubas caved...

Are you insulted because you think Matthews is as good as McDavid? Or do you think he's so much worse that saying he's not quite as good is too much of an understatement?

Yeah bro..

The big one is already starting to bud. But the ones out in the bush I still need to figure out which ones are male, I grew them from seed. But there’s a poop-ton if bears back there and I’m afraid to get mauled, lol..

They’re like 100ft from where my neighbour baits bears.. I gotta talk to him about that, lol.

He paid a little too much for 5 years, no arguing that.
But it is what it is.

Or the same over 8 years.
5 years should have been 10.5 - 10.75.
