The only thing all that toxic was the media attention around it. Pretty much every team with a major RFA went through the same thing last year.What other team would ever experience the insanely toxic contract negotiations that the Leafs went through with Marner?
Holdouts like that are rare, but have happened before.What other team would experience having an RFA go on a record-long holdout?
Crosby - 5 year deal - had a NMCWhat other team would have a #1 overall / potential top-5 player in the league sign a 5-year deal with a NTC taking them to UFA?
Malkin - 5 year deal - had a NMC
Stamkos - 5 year deal - had a NMC
Kane - 5 year deal - had a NMC
Toews - 5 year deal - had a NMC
Kessel - 5 year deal - had a NMC
All re-signed with their team.
