10x3 is an absolutely ridiculous ask. I would say that’s not even equivalent to the Matthews contract in terms of value. Thats a much more player friendly deal then what Matthews got.
It's freakin ridiculous how greedy our players are getting...the irony is, the $9.5 million that Marner's party ridiculously asked for last year after a 69 point season is the payment he should be getting after his 94 pt campaign, but hey, gotta be greedy right? And I thought during the season, Paul Marner hyped that Marner should be getting $10 million per year if Mitch got 100 pts...well, his son only got 94 pts, and that somehow equates to $11.6 million?
I'm sorry, but this Leafs team is going nowhere fast...for the kind of overpayment our forwards like Matthews got and Marner is asking, there won't be much left over for 3rd and 4th line depth and D depth, so for the Leafs to have any chance of winning a championship these guys would have to grossly produce alot more than other teams' top lines to compensate...if Marchand is getting 100 pts per season, Marner better be getting 120 pts because Boston's depth is much better than the Leafs...their 3rd and 4th lines are literally beating up on the Blues in the Stanley Cup Final.
And the last time I checked, no Stanley Cup had Mitch Marner's name on it, so if he won't sign for a fair deal with the Leafs and is set to bend over this historic franchise, ship him outta hear...no player should be bigger than the team...many folks had criticized the Joe Thornton trade when Boston moved him, but the Bruins had won a Cup and is looking good to win another one this year, and had a previous finals appearance since trading Thornton. And Thornton hasn't won anything. You win with a team, not with a few greedy overpriced players. If Matthews doesn't accomplish anything with the Leafs after 3 more years, you ship him outta here too in his 4th year before his NM clause kicks in in his 5th year.
