Personally I think $5m per year for Bear is waaaay to much.
I know Matthews is extremely talented but I have a hard time paying him $15m per season when he hasn’t proven he can win when it matters most. Now I know it is a team game but when you are the top dog, getting paid the most, you’re expected to be the guy to drag the team along with you. How many times did we see Kane or Toews step up in a crucial time and have a monster game? Matthews hasn’t done that ever in his career, it has just playoff disappointment after playoff disappointment. I believe the Leafs have won one series with him on the team… one!
