NHL History Being Made?! Insider Predicts NHL's Next Highest Paid Player
Frank Seravalli predicts that Auston Matthews will earn the first ever max contract in hockey, with an 8-year $133.6M deal with whoever he decides. This would net Matthews $16.7M annually.
Matthews heads into this season with 457 points (259 G, 198 A) in 407 career games. Those totals are largely due to his career best season last year in which he had 106 points in just 73 games.
Apart from him being an all-star last year, Matthews also racked up the Hart Memorial Trophy (MVP), Ted Lindsay Award (Player Voted MVP), and Maurice Richard Trophy (Top Goal Scorer).
He heads into his age 25 season as one of the most dominant forwards in the sport. How great would it be if Matthews landed in the same division that has another top talent in Connor McDavid?
