I have said for a long time (Before McKinnon re-signed etc) that I think Matthews comes in at $12.5-$13.5M per and I still think that is the case.

Why is Mathews aav going down with longterm and up short term? Lol.

@LL. ? higher for short term and lower for long term is typically how it does go.
All the years bought will be UFA for Matthews. The first few should be his best, so if you buy 7 you don't typically pay as much for those last few years which brings down the AAV.

@RLF not really. Personally, I've never seen less money short term. Bridge deals are always less aav than 7-8 year deals.

LL. Exactly. I have never seen less money short term either. You said the opposite at the start. lol.
