First of all Matthews is NOT going to get 12.5 per like McDavid.. thats not happening! And both Nylander and Marner would get 8yr contracts..

Yup 8 yr deals after 2yr bridge
$$$ is tight for couple yrs but after bridge they can be paid proper
Read description on top

If Matthews locks up cheaper than great but his worth is 12 and he s a superstar that leafs will treat right

Danger will bridging is the players are just two years from being UFAs. So it really fantasy that a player is going to sign short term and want. to sign an eight year contract. Just look how the Trouba scenario is being played out.
And really how does bridging and then signing long term really help the cap. It doesn't. Other players who are expected to be good are expecting raises too. Fact is IF the Leafs (or any team) has too many good players worth of their contracts,,,some high priced player will have to traded for inexpensive futures.

So Mcdavid scored 1.17 points per game in his first 2 seasons and Matthews scored at 0.92.... And everyone wants to give the kid the same money for a quarter point less production.

At least you didn't trade Marleau or Zaitsev.

He's twice the player mcdavid outside of offense
There's value there, in fact they created new analytics to capture something other than goals assists points

Trouba is poor example
He wants to leave the city

Bridging allows them to avoid the crunch this year and next. If you have throw an extra 1M or 2 in 2yrs so be it, leafs will be in better position then and still consume more prime years

It was my 1st attempt at bridge contracts and I really can't see those two going 3-5 years reduced rate. 2 yrs tops then payday.

I could see Marner going along who knows w nylander
