That is just false and total fan rhetoric. Marner is not a problem in TO, McDavid making 12.5 million in Edmonton isn't a problem nor is Draisaitl's deal (which is a steal) where Edmonton has problems is all their other crap deals. They also have zero depth, and spent big money on old guys like Sekera, and Russel, etc TO doesn't have bad contracts, if the worst contract they have is for a 90+ point player, that isn't at all a problem. Stars making star money is never a problem. Patrick Kane isn't a problem in Chicago, Eichel isn't a problem in Buffalo. Crosby signed for a higher cap hit than Matthews did on his last deal. (The cap went up and the deal looks great now but at the time it was higher than what Matthews signed for) Malkin's was much higher. None of those deals are problems. James Neal is a problem, Lucic is a problem, Anders Lee signed through his 37th birthday making 7 million is a problem. This constant capfriendly "Truth" that the leafs overpaid their stars is just ****ing stupid.
Im a rangers fan, theres no fan bias. All I am saying is that trading the best player in the world is a dumb idea. Im surprised you don't agree but its really fine if you don't
