Could someone explain why Austin Matthews should be the highest paid player in the NHL?

@MoonAtomic7

This is what happens when salary cap goes up. Players get paid higher. The same percentage, 13-16% of cap these superstars request goes up in salary year after year. First it was McDavid. Then MacKinnon. Now Matthews. Then it’s gonna be Draisaitl and so on. Someone will leap frog the other. Also for the sake of players association, you can’t have such a tight salary gap between great and good players. You eventually need to move the needle and whoever is up for new contract gets to decide the market. If they want to? If they want to win a cup, take discount l, go for it, but these players can’t get paid 11 mil forever if the cap keeps going up. NTM, in the NFL, Kirk cousins was at one point highest paid QB. This is normal. It’s 1000% debatable Matthews case why should he get paid more but this is all part of the game.

Plus, buyout Murray and have money for a third line centre. It shows time and time again that having an elite core taking up most of the cap doesn't always equal success.

He's a great player in the regular season, but he doesn't have the will to win that will lead to playoff success. In any sport, go look at the truly great players, and the one thing they ALL have, is that they find away to succeed in the face of adversity. None of the big 4 in Toronto have that. They're soft players who don't fight back and are easily bullied. When the playoffs come around, everyone knows that if you punch the Leafs in the face (both literally and metaphorically) THEY WON'T PUNCH BACK. And that's why they lose.

When does Dubas contract expire? after the last game of the season or after the draft?

Whatever the trade is, it won’t be a one-for-one. It’ll be a package with a bunch of guys.

The question you REALLY should be asking is: "Which NHL GMs are willing to pay Auston Matthews more than $11,000,000. per year?"? , because that is what he is worth. Hopefully, not many.

Ferraro says "zero percent is pretty low". yes it is Ray! LOL

We're talking AAV McKinnon made 15/16million this year and next and when he's older it drops to 8.9m Matthew's is easily maybe on cap sign 13.5m on 2 yr deal but definitely isn't signing anywhere longer then 4-5yrs when he could be making 17-18m in 6yrs old last contract.

Matthews to Vancouver for Quinn Hughes and brock boeser

We can be absolutely certain that the Leafs are getting inquiries from other teams regarding Austin Matthews. ✔️

When someone says, "LA makes so much sense," I always groan. Maybe it makes sense that he'd want to play there, but it makes no sense at all in terms of fitting him into the Kings structure or figuring out a package to send back. I mean, what are you going to do, make Quinton Byfield the centerpiece? That kid has a great future ahead of him, AS LONG AS nobody is expecting him to come in and replace Auston f***ing Matthews. Adrian Kempe is a 40 goal winger, you don't need that and you can't have him. Fiala? Ok. Really? Like, Ray, my man... think this through. The Leafs can't just take a "package" of talent. They would have to get back a number one center, and my Kings can't really provide that. Kopi is still carrying the mail, and he figures to be doing it for awhile. That's why people think the Kings need a new #1, I get that. But it's not gonna be AM, and the Leafs aren't gonna put Phil Danault on their top line.
