The biggest advantage that Matthews has in Toronto is endorsements, it’s reported that he makes about 3.5 million per season in these alone. Based on His Existing Salary, going to a team in a more tax friendly market would increase His Net Income by approximately 1.2 Million. I cannot imagine that the endorsement deals in Tampa, Vegas, Dallas or Seattle would be close to what he is making in TO, so his annual net income would probably close to the same amount. https://www.capfriendly.com/income-tax-calculator Allowing Matthew’s NTC to kick in without an extension worked out was not a smart move

I doubt that’s enough to get Pesce to waive his NTC to Buffalo

Vladar has a little more AHL Success and he was the original target in the Hall to Boston Deal

The Sabres, they already have better versions of Hanifin in Power and Dahlin, Hanifin is not very good defensively. Vladar would be a target though

If Power’s Camp wants to go short term I wonder if the better option would be is to let the year play out and see what number they would be looking for long term next summer and see if the gap is closer between the two sides As a 10.2c RFA He doesn’t have arbitration rights and cannot receive an offer sheet so there is no risk
