Some might not see it as it is, but Brad Treliving hit a home run with Auston Matthews' extension.
When his next contract starts in July 2024, he will represent only one percent more on the Leafs' salary cap than he does now.
With Matthews just entering his prime years, it's a real masterpiece by the new GM in Toronto.
Some details of the new deal have emerged, and they will blow your mind.
Insider Chris Johnston reported some intriguing information about the bonus structure of Matthews' extension.
When this contract expires, Matthews will be 30 and will likely be able to sign for even more money.
By that point, he will have earned something close to $114M in his career, plus all the endorsements. Being one of the best players in Canada's top hockey market comes with its perks.
Now, we can't wait to see what the Leafs paid for on the ice.
