He’s their only elimination game performer

And their only player that can enter the zone without getting a running start from their blue line

You can hate every other contract but this is good for the team

Okay but why now? Why did this have to happen in January? If you're going to pay him all this money, give him all this term, and a NMC/NTC, why not wait until June when you either know he's earned it or get him on a bit of a discount. It just makes no sense even if you think he's worth it

Yeah but this just sets another example that everyone there should ask for max value

If your best player takes a contract that isn’t the most on the team then it doesn’t say you should take max value

Also Marner and Tavares are up for a pay reduction which should help

You know, I forgot how bad Toronto signings are. Got spoiled by the tampa players taking discounts to win the cup.
