Breaking: Insider Reveals Matthew's Salary for his Next Contract
An insider shared some major informations earlier today concerning Auston Matthews' extension.
Matthews' AAV Revealed
Nick Kypreos mentionned in a radio interview that Matthews will earn $13.5M annually with his next deal in Toronto.
"I don't know whether we're in a blinking contest or not between Nylander and Matthews or who needs to go first, but if I'm Auston Matthews, I'm not holding my breath on Nylander's contract getting done at all at any point this summer.
So, how far does Matthews want to go into the season, now, without a contract? If it is as close as everyone is reporting - and everyone that I've talked to says it's a $13.5M AAV - then what is the term? I think for me, the biggest decision right now, which I think Auston can't decide on or they haven't made a final decision is, is how many years will what we believe is a $13.5M AAV last?" - Kypreos
