Sujet: Remember when Leafs fans riticuled me for saying Marner wont make under 10M
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CBJ4CUP</b></div><div>I dont think anyone believed marner was worth more than 10... it was more just reading the situation and looking at the matthews and nylander contracts and realizing that marner would get what he wants</div></div>

Bang on. It was hard explaining this to leafs fans. But those contract forced them into this situation with Marner.

It drove me crazy how quick they were to turn on him when he was holding out. It's not his fault the GM gifted crazy contracts to his teammates. He deserved to be paid accordingly.

If Marner signed his contract before Matthew's and Matthew's was the last one who had to hold out it would have been the other way around.

Different teams and management have there own philosophies on how to manage their team. An athletic article about Tampa bay specifically recently came out showing how they usually sign young guys to a cheap 3 year bridge deal and then they sign them long term afterwards.

Johnson, killorn, palat, kucherov, vasilevsky, etc.

The highest cap hit of any of those players on 3 year deals so far, Kucherov $4.766M. A lot better than paying $11M for your RFA's.

Brisebois is currently offering Point less than $6M on a 3 year deal. Tampa Bay has taxes going for them, but even with that they are doing way better than Toronto at getting players to buy in.

Honestly I have no idea what Toronto was thinking when it came to Matthews.

I have no idea why Nylander wasn't traded after pulling the stunt he did.
