Matthews will be making 13.25M $ for the next 5 years. He is arguably the best goal scorer in the world right now during the RS, but his PO performances leave a lot to be desired.
Let’s say that for the duration of his contract, Matthews averages between 60 to 70 goals per season and is a perennial Hart candidate in the RS (fair expectations for him I’d say).
But, in the PO, the Leafs never make it past the 2nd round and Matthews’ individual performance during those runs is pretty much the same as his prior runs (poor to average).
Then would you think his contract would have been worth it considering this scenario (a likely scenario until he proved us otherwise).
