Why would you walk around with a team jersey logo promoting a team that doesn’t pay you? You actually pay them to wear it?

Because I've chosen to support that team.

I haven't chosen to support that sponsor.

Seems like a pretty simple concept, no?

8 year 12.6aav for mckinnon. Highest paid player in the league

Thought he would take less. But I guess he's been paid less that he was worth the past 2/3 years.

If he wins a cup, it could mean a lot...if he doesnt..not sure what it means.

Matthews will sign for the maximum amount of money, unless he decides to take a discount.

The Leafs will give it to him or another team will.

And let's be honest here: the "I took less money so that we can win a Stanley Cup" line is not really needed.

Sure, more rings would be great - but so would an extra $2M a year.

Crap, the leafs will have two -three max contracts at that time..hopefully the cap is over 90m. AM, MM and McD will be nice though

Add to that he was already a huge bargain for years.... he deserves every penny.

The team is the entire organization including their sponsors. So if you support them you support the entire org.

I said 12.5 to get Mack to 100. I was just under

Meh it was wishful thinking on my part of course.
But ya, he already has a cup...the extra 2m per year over the next 8 years will help sooth any pains from not winning another cup, if he doesnt.

Matthews will take a huge discount.

The Leafs are an original six team. Guys grow up wanting to play for the Leafs - they are willing to play here for less.

And he's pals with Justin Bieber.

And he can go to Canada's Wonderland.

And there's free pop in the vending machines at Scotiabank.

And the Eglinton Crosstown Subway is opening soon.

I'd be surprised if he asks for over $8M a year.

You were pretty much bang on. I guessed a tiny bit low.

Yup, you were darn close....almost exact.
I was hoping for 10.75- 11 per....but glad the Avs are paying the extra 1.6m

I look forward to lactose-intolerant Leafs fans vomiting in their seats, as they chug milk to prove what dedicated fans they are.

Mcdavid has 4 years left of his deal.

for 5 years of Mackinnons contract he will be getting 14-15M a year. This is a discount when you factor in the value he brings compared to other players.

The people saying he was going to take 11M were out to lunch. He is a 12.6M player right now...and when the cap goes up 10-15M over his deal he will be a 15M player. Good deal.

Matthews could command more when his deal is up.

IF the cap goes up that much. We're all hoping it does and it should....but we'll see. Nothing guaranteed yet.

I think McD's AAV% was 16.67% (1/6th of the cap)...the highest so far.

If AM took the same, and it'll depend on where they believe the Cap will be in the summer of 24', but something like 87M would be about 14.5M per .....

Matthews cares about Matthews. That’s all. He will take the most he can get no matter what.

It is usually pretty bang on when there isnt a once in a 100 years pandemic.

It is business, and in business you have to work off projections if you want to secure talent beyond the short term.

I know it's just the start of training camp, but wow, your trolling is rusty today.

You'd better step it up - young guys like Spatso are eager to take a spot here in the Leafs thread.
