Hey, it's William Nylander, welcome to Stockholm, home of the NHL media tour, European media

tour.

There we go.

That's actually a lot of ways, that's actually a lot of ways, let's use that one.

Well thank you William Nylander, we'll hear more from you in a couple of moments and we'll

talk plenty about you in a couple of moments, but Elliot, as we bring everybody aboard,

once again to 32 Thoughts the Podcast, in Stockholm by the way, Sweden for the NHL European

players tour, the big news happens back in Canada, as Austin Matthews signs an extension,

four years, 13.25 is the AAV, there is a new top salary dog in the NHL.

By $625,000 a year, congratulations to Austin Matthews, on finally being able to afford

a house in Toronto.

He can move out of his rental property, he can move out of his one bedroom condo with

a stand-up shower and a toilet right next to it and actually afford a home in Toronto.

I think a couple of things here, number one, I had heard that the maplies were trying

to push for as much term as they could get.

You had wondered about five.

I think they were hoping to get to five.

Now, if you've listened to this pot over the last few months, you know that my feeling

has been, it was going to be a three to five year deal.

I didn't know it was going to be four, but I thought it was three to three to five.

And I think the thing was going to be, is could the maplies convince Matthews to sign

for five years?
