That's the thing about the Leon contract, he needs to be a top 5 player for almost the entire term for it to really make sense. McDavid will get more, probably Matthews next one and then maybe Bedard. Most of the top guys have been paid and have term. The next set of stars may be a ways off.

If it is an 8-year deal? He will be 21 and you are suggesting he will get slightly more than Nylander? $12 mil is a lock, 100 points wrapping up a guy til he is 29? $14 mil is very likely to happen.
I wouldn't be shocked that if he scores 50 and 100 and he gets close to Mcdavid money.
