Well faulting a player for wanting to get compensated fairly, after seeing what his teammates got, is ridiculous. They made Matthews feel special, why does Marner have to sit back and take less when he is just as important to the team? The real mistake was giving Matthews the exact contract that he wanted. No way Dubas wanted to pay him more that Tavaras AND right to UFA status. But it looked like he was trying to sign Matthews fast to make himself look competent. They set the standard for the team and dug their own expensive grave. It's also silly that these high picks are using the McDavid contract as a comparable. He won an Art Ross and Hart as a teenager. He should be in his own stratosphere.

Why's it his fault Toronto managed it poorly? Why should he take significantly less than Matthews who sure he plays center...but he doesn't kill penalties. Neither does Tavares. Yet he outscored both averaging 1:21 of PK time to Tavares' 12 seconds per game and Matthews' 2 seconds per game. Why should he give the leafs a deal? The Leafs already dicked him around once sending him back to London. Not even giving him any games because it's easier to defend that decision than sending him back after he's productive.

Career year for Marner? Yeah. Absolutely. But the Leafs signed his comp to a deal before they needed to, probably for more than they should have for not long enough. Why play hardball with Mitch and not Matthews?
