Matthews term is the same as Gaudreau, Marner/Nylander the same term as Monahan, Lindholm, Andersson, and Hanifin

They weren't max deals, and pardon me, obviously Tavares could be seen as a mistake (as he's the "core 4"). I'd expand it to 5 though as he got Reilly under contract on D.
Dubas stagged his signings enough where they weren't in a tough position to give two players leverage at the same time. I'm firmly in the pro-Dubas camp. He's in that upper cream of GMs if not the best.
