Leaf Fans need to be better...

Everything was aligned perfectly for Nylander to negotiate for max money, the same thing is going to happen with Marner/Matthews this summer. Kappy, Johnsson, Gardiner, etc will get shafted

How so?

 

[Mr Hockey]

How so?

• The team is a step away from being an elite level team
• New rookie GM
• Points went up with his teammates and players across the league
• Pastrnak, Rielly outgrew their contracts
• Marner/Matthews becoming an RFA at seasons end
• entire hockey world following the negotiations
• its the Leafs

Doesn't mean it was the perfect storm, means it was mishandled.

I'm sure all agents use future potential as a negotiating point with offensively gifted players, would be dumb not to.

It’ll be interesting to see what Josi gets in Nashville.
