The max for a player next year is roughly $16.6 mil (20% of the cap). TOR has $27 mil in space (plus the allowed overage in the summer of $8 mil) would see them use all their cap space on those 2 (and have to jettison a couple of guys).

I don't have a clear sense of Matthews and where his head is at... unlike kids from the GTA, i don't know if he cares to be under the media spotlight of Toronto... maybe he does... but there have been rumblings of him not necessarily getting along with Babcock.

I think he (and his agent) expect to get PAID. McDavid is the starting point.

If you were another team however, why wouldn't you offer sheet Matthews? NYI and Coyotes both would have some legitimate reasons to... they don't owe Toronto anything

Exactly. NYI has $31 mil and ARI has only $13 mil. Go get 'em!
