Eichel better send a thank you card to McDavid for that contract.

Brian Bickell signing a 1 day contract with Chicago so he can retire
It’s officially hockey season people! Regular season thread, where?
The caps fans are delusional about Tom Wilson being a clean player. Him avoiding previous suspensions is an anomaly and a product of really REALLY lazy DOPS the past couple years. He's a decent skill guy who's always trying to run someone, watch any shift and you'll find him travel at least 30-40 feet once to make a hit. Kinda glad he refuses to focus on using his skill and also glad DOPS is finally trying to reign in one of the last bastions of an old NHL era predicated on decapitation instead of speed and skill.
Eichel hasn't scored 30 goals or put up over more than 60 points in either of his two seasons in the league. Matthews did both, in his rookie season, playing exclusively with other rookies.
Eichel got that contract because he was drafted after McDavid and Buffalo is desperate to keep him. Matthews has already earned whatever we're going to have to fork over.
(No, I'm not saying Eichel is bad. Surely he'll be worth the money, I just find it funny they're paying 10M a year to a guy who isn't a 30 goal scorer yet.)
I don’t disagree with you at all. My point was moreso that Matthews will break $10mil per easily because McDavid is above $12mil. If McDavid was at say $10mil per year, then I don’t think Matthews would get something above that mark
I think regardless of whether or not McDavid broke the 10M threshold the team was (and still is) prepared to give it to Matthews. The bonus was Draisitl's contract, because we won't have to give Nylander more than that.
Edit: Ehler's rumoured contract extension (42M over 7 years) would also be a boon to the Leafs when the time comes to re-sign Nylander.
Kids are getting paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaid.
Habs first PP is interesting but it won’t last
No idea why Lekhonen sent the puck back in his zone that’s something Subban would’ve done
No idea why youre continuing to be terrible and posting in a preseason thread
Because it’s faster since it’s in my list
