Matthews has hit 100 points one time....being injured every season isn't a positive. I think Matthews needs to be at least a 100 point player and even then the contract is just okay.
I'm not saying they shouldn't have done it, really they didn't have much choice. It's just not some great deal or something IMO. The player will have to have career highs to even make it decent value IMO. Maybe he will...being the highest paid player in the league comes with some pressure. Let's see how many times he is top 3 in scoring and if he can carry it over to the playoffs.
Same posters that said PPG isn't good enough for Huberdeau at 10.5 are saying this is a steal.

Matthews has the most goals in the NHL since he came into the League, and this buys the last of his 'Prime' years (Age 27-30)
He was getting at least this as UFA next summer. Hes a top 4 Center in the league and is in his prime, Huberdeau getting less at a different position and getting paid into his late 30's and not a goal scorer is not even a close comparable. Not even sure why you would bring it up.
There isnt 1 GM in the league that wouldn't trade for Matthews with this contract with Huberdeau with his.
