From yesterday thread , Willie certainly was asking 8.5 initially in the media , and it was reported by many . I’m not up on the adding links but google nylander asking for draisaitl money you will quickly see article after article . Do you not remember hearing the Mathews negotiation began with an 8 year discussion and 13-14 rumours ?
This isn’t new . Like any and all negotiations you start high , he did . He didn’t start with the number he was willing to accept . That is negotiation. Just like dubas didn’t start with the offers we are hearing leaked . They both clearly moved and like I mentioned yesterday Mitch was able to use Mathews as his 1 and only comparable , like was the goal from the day Mathews signed and Ferris commented .
This can only help the other rfas but NONE will get the overpayment Mitch got . A couple who are better players .

Craig time to move on. It was speculated never confirmed. Doesn’t change the fact the Marner didn’t get what he wanted. I believe it he held out he would’ve gotten exactly what he wanted.
For the record I also said he is over paid. One has nothing to do with the other.

Most GM,s have more experience than The kid so I don’t believe they will fold like a cheap tent. Two wrongs don’t make a right if you look at all the signings so far only two are way out of wack Skinner and Marner.
The big 4 in Toronto, make more $ than the entire Carolina Hurricanes forward group.
All you Leaf fans can’t really believe that this is good asset management?
Dubas is a Cap master alright!
Wonder what happens next?

Not a problem as of yet though they have their work cut out for them over the next 3 years.
If it doesn’t work out then this Leaf fan here will 110% believe the Ballard curse is real.
If nothing else it has been very interesting to watch him make the peices fit.
Still curious as to how he’s going to improve the back end.
They’ve got 4 years to pull it off, imo.

We hear it all the time, a new market is set.
Not that long ago Larson for Hall was the new price to pay for a decent dman.
As I said then and still believe one deal doesn’t make another and any GM managing their team based on what another GM did shouldn’t be a GM
Lots of folks were and are saying the bridge deal is done and it’s not.
McAvoy will sign a bridge deal today like Werenski did, not because they want to but because that is what the team is giving them.

Charlie will come at 5 or just below on a bridge deal. Carlo about 3.
