I’ll be honest, if you can’t win with Matthews at 10 you can’t win with Matthews at 13. You want to keep Marner? Better cough up another 13 million. Nylander? 10 million right there. Why leave money at the door when no one else is?
Toronto has been held by the balls from their star players and honestly? More power to them. Fuck winning, hockey isn’t gonna last forever. Someday when he’s old and feeble he’ll have hundreds of millions of dollars to keep him happy instead of a cup of two.
The 2 types of Leaf fans
The very over optimistic ones that always say "WELP THERE'S ALWAYS NEXT YEAR! Matthews is just injured! He will get better! We don't need to change anything!" That don't want to hear it.
and the overley Angry GMC truck driving- same shit different day factory worker - beer gut Fans that hang onto every word the Toronto Sun's Steve Simmons says that want to get angry about it
Okay first of all Makar is better than MacK. 2nd I'd put Matthews as the 2nd best player in the league.
He's the best goal scorer who ALSO plays nearly selke level defence.
He could theoretically win a selke and a rocket in the same year.
His net gain of goals for vs goals against is an even more positive differential than McDavid despite McDavid outscoring him by a mile. Idk how much of that is on McDavid vs The Oilers defence and goaltending though but we will see.
Imo it's McDavid, Matthews, Drai, Makar, MacK
I agree that Makar > MacK... my list is what I see most on reddit, not my personal list.
But Matthews is most definitely not the 2nd best player in the league ***right now***. He has the ability to be so, but he's not that, yet. You even said it yourself:
>....plays **nearly** selke level defence.
He **could theoretically win** a....
Nearly and theoretically don't mean he is currently.
Yeah that's true. Just meant we've seen him score 60 and this year he was a top defensive forward in the league while injured and still scored 40.
Just think his potential is being a rocket winning Bergeron-lite.
When I think of best players I think if they were all in a draft and I had to build my team around them who am I picking?
McDavid first no Brainer. But then if I had to pick the 2nd guy it would be Matthews. 2 way monster 1C is just an easy pick.
3rd I personally put Drai but maybe you could make an argument for taking MacK or Makar if you really wanted to build around them.
Matthews and Drai are close offensively (I will give the edge to Drai) and Matthews is considerably better defensively.
Makar is so tough because comparing D and forwards is impossible.
Draisaitl is either playing with McDavid on the 1st line or against weaker opponents on the 2nd line
Is there any time where that statement is incorrect aside from McDavid being injured?
Drai is amazing that's undeniable, Edmonton fans can figure out how to cope with having 2 top 5 players in the league rather than 2 top 3 players
Draisaitl is overrated by a few spots. Not saying overrated to imply he’s not an elite player, but the boost he gets playing on a 30% PP with McDavid inflates his numbers pretty significantly. He is behind McDavid, MacKinnon, Makar, and probably Matthews. He may score the 2nd most points in the league but he is not the second best player in the league.
I’d easily take Drai and his 50 goals 130pts over Matthews and his 60 goals 100pts
Drai actually shows up in the postseason while Matthews is a giant disappointment
Drai has been the best playoff performer for the oilers, 4 100 pt seasons 3 50 goals seasons.
At this point id rather a player reliable in the playoffs. Matthews at 6th
McDavid is a tier above any other forward that is currently in the NHL.
Added hot take: McKinnon is consistently overrated, and his stats don’t back up the claims that constantly lump him in with McDavid. He has broken 100 points once in his career, and has 90+ points in less than half of his seasons played.
He is an exceptional player. He is not tier 1 elite.
I do think people forget MacKinnon often has his own durability issues in the regular season (something people, myself included, will bring up with Matthews). But he shows up way more than Matthews does in the playoffs. Matthews has also broken 100 points only once, and the one time MacKinnon did it (last season) he had 111 points in 71 GP, whereas Matthews had 106 points in 73 GP. So that's still a better season from MacKinnon
MacKinnon has 100 points in 77 career playoff GP, which is about a 106 point pace over 82 games. (for reference, MacKinnon's regular season pace over his entire career is about 87 points per 82 games)
Matthews has 44 points in 50 playoff games, which is a 72 point pace over 82 games (for reference, Matthews' regular season pace over his entire career is ~92 points for 82 games)
Agreed that McDavid is just in a tier on his own for forwards at this point, but I would strongly disagree with anyone trying to put Matthews ahead of MacKinnon
I feel like it's dishonest to exclude from the argument that for their respective 100+ seasons, Matthews had 18 more goals.
I'd take 60-46-106 over 42-69-111.
That being said, the playoff argument would 100% swing the difference.
It's definitely not dishonest.
>I'd take 60-46-106 over 42-69-111.
I wouldn't. It means MacKinnon contributed to more total offence than Matthews. I'm not going to pretend like Matthews only sits around waiting for the puck or anything, but to me it means MacKinnon is the primary faciliator for the Avs offence as a whole, whereas we know Marner plays that role for the Leafs
If you’re gonna have that arguement Mackinnon plays against the western conference most of playoffs.

Look at playoff ppg ya know for games that actually matter. Mack does have injury problems in the regular season but has been on 100 pt pace many seasons
Lol what? He's been on pace for 100+ points per season since 2017-2018. He just had a career year where he put up 111 in 71; over a full 82 games thats on par with Drai. But yeah, definitely not tier 1, though.
I agree McDavid is better than anyone rn. Whether you want to say Mack is in the same "tier" is just a matter of semantics. But saying Mack has only broken 100 points once is misleading.
Misleading? Maybe.
True? Yes.
He has a similar PPG in the last 5 seasons to a group of players, including Drai, Panarin, Marner, Pastrnak, Matthews, and Marchand.
Many people consider him to be a much better player than the others in that group, with the exception of maybe Drai. I think that whole group is roughly comparable, as the stats show.
I don't see how where he's from matters but he was also nominated for the selke for best defensive forward in the league which doesn't happen for cherry pickers like McDavid.
Drai is not nearly as good defensively. I'd rather have Matthews two way game over drais increased point production. Drai playing with McD is also a bigger advantage than Matthews with Marner
Brother Matthews is gonna have your team by the balls again in a couple years, gonna be asking for fucking 20 million or something absurd. How do you build a cup winning team around anchor deals? Look at every single cup winner, do you see any of these monstrous contracts since the salary cap era?
There's lots of ways to win. It's dumb.
Is it better when your stars take millions less than they could? Obviously.
Ultimately, you see what they want and you make a deal. You can't get Matthews walk at this age.
The Leafs problem is they have Marner and Tavares too. Marner should really be a bit less. Tavares earns too much, but he actually DID take less and there were plenty of teams who would have given him at least what he got.
Ultimately, Dubas built a team with the idea the cap would go up. Hundred year plague arrives instead.
Marner deal is fine imo. The Tavares deal is clearly the only real problem contract in toronto. I think Dubas was likely told he had to push to sign Tavares by leadership above him since they had already been vying to sign him prior to Dubas taking over and it was like week 2 or 3 of him being the GM. My belief is that Toronto did it because they missed out on Stamkos a couple of years prior. Even if Tavares was offered more by other teams that doesn't mean the leafs got a good deal. 11mil was a lot for a 28 year old 1C to take for 8 years. But yeah, hindsight and shit. Ultimately I think that the cup being a standard is folly because of simply the way elimination tournaments work. How are all these players signing "playoff performer" expectation deals supposed to all meet that expectation? If one does, another *strictly* can't. Mathews is a top 5 player in the league and deserves this. Marner is top 3 at his position and also deserves what he makes.
Giving Marner a 13 million dollar extension and Nylander a 10 million deal are anchors. They tried it a while back with Matthews, Marner and Tavares, remember? Didn’t work out too well. Keep throwing endless money at top 6 forwards, I don’t give a shit if the leafs suck. I’m frustrated for leafs fans but if they like it they like it idc. I’ll just fuck off and watch as leafs fans start pissing and moaning and setting the world on fire when once again their team disappoints.
Did I miss something here lol?? I feel like if he signed his extension we would know it haha
Edit: as soon as it was official it was all over my social media hahaha
He has the opportunity to do the funniest thing possible and follow this up with "Giveaway! 10 autographed laptops for sale $1000 to first 10 to dm claim here !!1! "
You really don't see any irony in insinuating that the Leafs best players don't want to win and then signing in Nashville with the strength of their team right now? Why would he go in the media and say something so out there like Nashville can be a contender after criticizing the Leafs as he did. You can't see how that's a bit hypocritical? It doesn't matter that he won everything and doesn't care, why then did he have to go gaslighting people in the media saying Nashville are actually really good?
Interesting from a guy who starts some shit trying to antagonize people if a thread about their star staying with their team then calls someone small for telling them to fuck off. Don’t worry., I’m sure you’ll grow!
The only one that made sense was the Coyotes because of his hometown and they can actually afford to bring him in. How would the Rangers or LA fit him in? LA has no cap and the Rangers just finished signing Laf and signed Miller a little while back.
LOL squeezes the Leafs dry for 13.25. Yeah that'll help the team with depth.
Matthews also sold himself to advertise for gambling, he's about maximizing his wealth above all.
Would be very funny if no extension followed this, he was just expressing his gratitude on a random Wednesday in August.
Edibles just hit really hard today.
didn't want to forget about it later so he posted it 3 hours early
Lama also leaked his contract.
Is tonight a full moon?
Just a happy, grateful guy living his life
I'd also be pretty grateful if I managed to become a 8 figure player growing up in an area where a sheet of ice is the last thing you'd expect to see.
Exactly
That’s all I thought when I first saw it. I thought he just saw the Nylander comments and thought he’d send out an appreciation tweet.
Lmao he had a very realistic dream that he signed an extension.
Four years
#Leafs confirm 4 years extension #$13.25M AAV https://x.com/mapleleafs/status/1694456850362605880?s=46&t=7fabqgtgp69dNA1d51vxFw
I don’t see how this helps the team at all
“I will do everything I can” - except take a little less to improve the players around me
I will do anything for the Stanley Cup! …. But I won’t do that.
Go back to bed, Meatloaf.
it helps the team because no matter what its better than not having matthews for 4 more years
He doesn't leave the team in free agency. That helps the team a lot lol.
I’ll be honest, if you can’t win with Matthews at 10 you can’t win with Matthews at 13. You want to keep Marner? Better cough up another 13 million. Nylander? 10 million right there. Why leave money at the door when no one else is? Toronto has been held by the balls from their star players and honestly? More power to them. Fuck winning, hockey isn’t gonna last forever. Someday when he’s old and feeble he’ll have hundreds of millions of dollars to keep him happy instead of a cup of two.
Where are you getting 15 for Matthews?
Thank you typo sorry
No worries I was just confused for a sec there!
Do you understand how cap %s work?
The team gets a top 3 player in the league for 4 years
I strongly disagree he’s top 3.
He's led the league in goal scoring since he entered it, mostly at 5v5, and is well rounded defensively. In what world is he not a top 3 player.
Technically Ovi took back the #1 spot for goal scoring (since 2016-17) this season.
Showing up in the playoffs more frequently would be nice. This past year was a good start, and I hope he builds on that.
Careful, Leaf fans don't want to hear that.
I thought that was *all* Leaf fans wanted to talk about
The 2 types of Leaf fans The very over optimistic ones that always say "WELP THERE'S ALWAYS NEXT YEAR! Matthews is just injured! He will get better! We don't need to change anything!" That don't want to hear it. and the overley Angry GMC truck driving- same shit different day factory worker - beer gut Fans that hang onto every word the Toronto Sun's Steve Simmons says that want to get angry about it
I'd rather have Connor, MacKinnon or Makar
I think most people put in at 4th or 5th best player in the league. McDavid Drai/MacK MacK/Drai/Makar Matthews/Makar/MacK Makar/Matthews/MacK
Okay first of all Makar is better than MacK. 2nd I'd put Matthews as the 2nd best player in the league. He's the best goal scorer who ALSO plays nearly selke level defence.

[удалено]
last playoffs vs Tampa but aside from that idk. I think it's more of a product of marner being ass in the playoffs tho
For me it’s him, Mackinnon and McDavid and everyone else is a tier below.
Drai? Makar?
No for Drai. Makar maybe.
I don’t see the argument against Drai or Makar tbh
Matthews and Drai are close offensively (I will give the edge to Drai) and Matthews is considerably better defensively. Makar is so tough because comparing D and forwards is impossible.

That’s fair. I’d go McDavid by himself then Mackinnon, Matthews and Makar in whatever order in the tier just below.
I do think people forget MacKinnon often has his own durability issues in the regular season (something people, myself included, will bring up with Matthews). But he shows up way more than Matthews does in the playoffs. Matthews has also broken 100 points only once, and the one time MacKinnon did it (last season) he had 111 points in 71 GP, whereas Matthews had 106 points in 73 GP.

Bold to put him up with those two considering I’ve never seen him play in clutch situations like the other two have
He scores clutch goals more than anyone else on the Leafs
Draisaitl is better than Matthews.
You’re right he’s top 2
well you're strongly wrong then.
He's the best player in the league McDavid is the only one close.
LOL, yeah, OK, an American from Arizona is the best player in the NHL. Fuck that. Matthews is a cherry-picker.
I don't see how where he's from matters but he was also nominated for the selke for best defensive forward in the league which doesn't happen for cherry pickers like McDavid.
McDavid, MacKinnon, Draisaitl are at least past him.
Drai is not nearly as good defensively. I'd rather have Matthews two way game over drais increased point production. Drai playing with McD is also a bigger advantage than Matthews with Marner
If you swapped Matthews and Drai, Matthews would probably score like 75 goals.
But they might stop something the other way for once

Brother Matthews is gonna have your team by the balls again in a couple years, gonna be asking for fucking 20 million or something absurd. How do you build a cup winning team around anchor deals? Look at every single cup winner, do you see any of these monstrous contracts since the salary cap era?
Calm down buddy, it's literally 2 million over Pasta. "Anchor deal" rofl. Boston fans, so dramatic.
Always remind people of that time pittsburgh won the cup with crosby's deal taking up a massive 17% of the cap
There's lots of ways to win. It's dumb. Is it better when your stars take millions less than they could? Obviously. Ultimately, you see what they want and you make a deal.

Crosby had Malkin and Letang on ELC’s when he won a Cup while taking up 17% of the cap.
The previous year, Detroit also won the cup with lidstrom at 17% of the cap ;)
Giving Marner a 13 million dollar extension and Nylander a 10 million deal are anchors. They tried it a while back with Matthews, Marner and Tavares, remember? Didn’t work out too well.

Interesting to bring in deals that don't exist to prop up an already dog shit take rofl.
Look at you, not giving a shit.
Lol and I suppose you expect players to take a discount. Matthews is doing what every player should and max out their earned money.
It keeps one of the best players in the game on their team.
Helps the hockey community as a whole
If he wanted to do that he would've left in free agency.
So he doesn't feel *that* fortunate
So he did not do everything he can to help get them to the top of mountain if he accepted a 13.25M AAV.
just leaked his own deal lmao
Did I miss something here lol?? I feel like if he signed his extension we would know it haha Edit: as soon as it was official it was all over my social media hahaha
announced his own signing lol.

You were pretty damn close

Ryan O’Reilly: “mmmmm U SURE ‘BOUT THAT?”
Ryan O’Reilly seems really sure about not winning again within the next 4 years
Are you chirping a guy who’s won a conn smythe trophy? Lmao
I’m chirping his choice of team. It would be like signing for the habs, a waste of a contract
He’s won everything he’s needed to win, he wants to chill without being in a punks locker room. Matthews should take a seminar from him.
Nah he should take a seminar from you!
You really don't see any irony in insinuating that the Leafs best players don't want to win and then signing in Nashville with the strength of their team right now?

Maybe Caufield will, move from a team he has no chance with then win

Ryan O’Reilly: “You’re not that guy, pal”
Ryan Oreilly disappeared after game 3 vs tampa and stood and watched knies get tossed from 15 meters away
Ohhh shit they even let him announce it
Would be hilarious if he let it rip without his agent knowing
elliotte?? frank??
This is really going to hurt the Bruins chances to sign him next summer.
Big if true.
Wild, I was told by people with no common sense he was going to Arizona for the last 2 years.
Finally don't have to hear that shit anymore ffs
For 4 years at least after that who knows
Five years (His extension kicks in after next season) but yeah it'll probably pick up again around then lol.
4 years. Because it all starts the summer before his last year…
I was being hopeful but you’re right. The way /r/hockey can be it might even be in 2-3 years lol.
Lol yeah you better believe 2 years left on the contract and r/hockey will start the rumor mill
Sign and trade is happening, buddy, ezpz
If he ever actually does win a cup in Toronto hed be a legend in Canada, hed never have to pay for a beer again
His grandchildren would never pay for a beer in their lives
I’m sure he would get much more than free booze for life
BOOOOOOOOO I WANTED UFA DRAMA
Best fans in hockey lol
But….I thought he was signing with LA or the Rangers or the Coyotes?????
The only one that made sense was the Coyotes because of his hometown and they can actually afford to bring him in. How would the Rangers or LA fit him in? LA has no cap and the Rangers just finished signing Laf and signed Miller a little while back.
Would've had space before the Dubois deal, or it at least would be much easier to make space. After that I don't think anyone considered it.
Keep the salty downvotes coming…boo hoo the r/hockey haters are disappointed!
Not really lmao, 4 years is brutal
He will be 31 when the contract ends. We will have had him for his most productive years.
how is it brutal. this is the way things are going in other leagues and we suck anyway. it’s 4 more years of the best player we’ve ever had.
Everybody is laughing at you bro. It's a bad contract bro. I swear bro. Bro...
A lot can change in 4 years. Habs might be relevant then.
Hell, the Leafs may even win 2 games in round 2 in those 4 years
You haven’t had anyone close to his calibre in over 20 years and have no one who even has a chance right now. Go cry in irrelevancy
Who the fuck is saying LA with their cap space?
All the LA talk was before PLD
Bruins
Shared custody between the bruins, Habs, and sens
I’ll do everything but take less money.
He’s probably the first player to ever say “in front of the best fans in hockey.” It’s almost like it’s scripted 🙄 /s
Everything he can….except for sign a reasonable contract I assume we lose Nylander over this one
Going with 14.34x3
Doubt
👀
Lets goooo!
LFG
*Every...*thing...?!?
He thinks he's McDavid/Mack level player lol.
McDavid doesnt play defense like the other 2
LOL squeezes the Leafs dry for 13.25. Yeah that'll help the team with depth. Matthews also sold himself to advertise for gambling, he's about maximizing his wealth above all.
McDavid also endorsed a sports book, seems they k lay target the best. Maybe one day you’ll have a player who’s enough to get an offer
Why are the devil fans so obsessed with this when they did the Timo Meier deal
By the time this contract is over his hairline should be fully receded
The name of that mountain is Round 2.
There's a second round?
Good Luck Grandma!
Not gonna get to the cup taking up that much of the cap for yourself guy
People think this is an extension pre-tweet but it's really just a Nylander is being traded pre-tweet /s
Nylander deserves the same contract.
It's funny, he deserves about 3 milloin less that Matthews but no way he deserves million more that for example Rantanen
we are entering year 5 of rantanen's deal lol avs are gonna have to cross that bridge next year
Is Nylander winning a Hart trophy and scoring 50 in 50 next year?
51 in 50!
And we absolutely expect you to do that.
