13.5x4 for Matthews in his Prime?
Matthews could have asked for more money, but he seems to care about the team's financial situation and doesn't want to cause any problems.
With the salary cap expected to increase next season, the team might handle his big salary better.
Although $13.5 million is a lot, the Leafs believe he's worth every penny and consider him the highest-paid NHL player.
Matthews is determined to win the Stanley Cup, and having him in top form for the next four years makes the Leafs a strong contender. Their roster has improved, and they have a competitive team.
