Why are we watching something from over a year ago?
Anyway, no, of course JT isn’t the problem. The leafs signed a premier UFA (a kind of player that doesn’t hit UFA more than once every 5+ years) to what was probably an under market contract.
Then, 2 things happened:
1. When some of their core players were on those precious entry level deals, the leafs didn’t invest properly in the defensive side of the puck. In other words, they wasted those valuable ELC contracts on a flawed concept.
2. They then handed out UFA contracts to their RFA players. You want to tell me there was some max offer sheet coming from Arizona for Matthews even though they’re trying to trade their captain to save a few bucks? Sure. Whatever. Can’t sign that marner contract.
