Yup, it was a bit of a discount IMO, but mostly for being 1 year early. Securing $100M makes a lot more sense than risking another year to go for $120M, before you even consider the implications to team building.
Also it was before Matthews and Marner changed the RFA norms. In today's context, Mavi's biggest 'discount' was giving 8 yrs instead of 5-6.
I wonder what term Matthews will sign for next. ELC-5-5-7 is probably the best way to maximize a 20 yr career (but of course has more risk)
