Trade Marner, he’s no where close to 11M.
We can and we will.Matthews is no where close to being worth the 3rd highest salary on the shortest term of anyone in the top ~ 25.
Dubas has to be the worst contract negotiator.

His contract doesn't look great based on his playoff performacnes thus far but he's a center, the best goal scorer in the league and can do little things in playoff games liek win draws and puck battles.
Marner is a small soft winger who doesn't score in the playoffs and doesn't do those small things. His contract is a lot worse.
I don’t even think it matters what happens in game 7. Montreal is a team that likely doesn’t make the playoffs in pre covid divisions. Not to take away fir their effort, but the fact that the series looks like it dies says a lot more about the leafs core than it does the habs core.
a) Toronto took over that crown a while ago b) The early 2000 Sens were far from favorites in the series they lost.
