With the salary cap jumping to who-knows-where long term, I expect him to sign a 2 or 3 year bridge deal next summer. If he keeps up his production, he'll easily be a 13-15 million player by the time the bridge deal is up.
Best for both him and the team to get a better idea of where he is in January and go from there. See how he looks the first half of the season. Does he have a major setback or a major explosion? There's not a lot of risk to Montreal in waiting.
Signing a bridge deal would be a catastrophic mistake, people are shocked he could get 10 now, imagine in 3 years, imagine if he gets nominated or wins the Norris.

Keep him forever. He got us in the playoffs

He will cost 13+ by then.
Bridge deal 5 years
Hes getting 10+mil unless he takes a bridge, then he'll end up making 12+ eventually
Just stick to covering your sorry Leafs CJ
“Keep my Habs players names out of your Damn mouth”
Hutson and the rest of young Habs ain’t greedy like your soii boii core fore and we don’t have Kyle Dubas handing out dumb contracts hand over fist.
Slaf
Caufield
Suzuki
Took the security of 8 year deals
Team friendly ones at that to stay together and build something special
Hutson wants to play hockey he won’t have to worry about money. Whether it’s 8x 8 / 8.5 or 9.0…
Who cares, he’s worth it.
No Bridge.
Your sorry Leafs couldn’t even get Matthews to commit
