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)
At the time he wasn’t that far removed from his only big injury so he may have had that in the back of his mind too
