Yesterday afternoon, the Leafs announced that they had come to terms with Auston Matthews on a monumental contract extension set to pay him an annual average of $11.634 million for the next 5 years.
The news, of course, promptly obliterated Twitter.
After months upon months of unsubstantiated speculation about offer sheets and baseless trade rumours, Kyle Dubas now has both Matthews and John Tavares in his employ for the next half-decade to come. Three down, one to go.
The main point of contention of the deal, at least amongst fans, is the term.
