My point is Matthews and Marner can sign their extensions in June 2019 which prevents them from getting RFA status and the threat of an offer sheet.
Why would they sign in June 2019 unless their getting what they want?
Wait a few more weeks and use offersheet potential to their financial advantage to maximize earning potential.
It be similar to John Tavares resigning with NYI now in June and not hitting UFA status or waiting a few more weeks and see what the offers are.
You waited this long so why not wait a few weeks more, ditto would apply the Mitch and Auston except they would be RFA and not UFAs.
