He also scored less goals than Matthews, played two seasons vs three (or 2.5), came into the league older and undersized without pedigree.
Johnny has a fantastic contract from the teams perspective and kudos to Treliving for signing it. It may be the best contract for years to come at the rate he's playing but I don't understand why people are using it to say Dubas/ the leafs aren't doing their jobs. The Matthews contract just "is what it is" until we see his career in hindsight. It's not a contract that makes you jump out of your seat one way or the other.
