Scenario - You and your brother work for a company that sells beer Your brother sells 10 cases of beer a day. He also takes 2 days off every month. His salary is 11.6 million a year You sell 11 cases of beer a day. You also work every day. Would you settle for a salary of 11 million? I don't think so. I know I wouldn't. Really 11 million vs 11.6 million? That's greed no matter HOW you purpose it! Is he the #1 pick? Face of the franchise? And to add to what KSJ said, Pastrnak had more pts than Bergeron..Should pasta be paid more than Bergy because of that?? Remember it's not always about the offence..IF Marner accepted the 11 per yr, he would be one of the highest paid players in the league BUT he is not yet one of the best in the league..No way can I defend a player with as much greed as Marner..

If I am Toronto there is no way I an paying Marner and Matthews the same. Matthews deserves to be paid more. He is a #1 draft pick, face of the franchise, scores more goals, sells more jersies, plays the harder position and plays with worse linemates mostly. Put Marner with those scrubs all year and see if he puts up 100 points. I doubt it. Marner is very gifted but man...Marner should have taken 11 million for that term. That is just a shade below Panarin and would have made him the 2nd highest paid winger in the whole league. Very greedy and Leafs fans are all over him for it. They are eating one of their own! And I love it!

Was just looking at his stats for game 5-7 last year. Didn't show up at all! He had a much better first half of that series though.

If they were both 21 then absolutely Pasta should get more. If I was to start a new team and I had to pick between Marner and Matthews I take Marner all day. Matthews is going to turn into a Pk Subban

The Leafs have 40 million tied up in 4 forwards. I think they have opened their two year window to win the Cup. Good luck Leafs... no pressure.

Has anybody heard any noise on McAvoy? His comparables are signed and the clock is ticking.

Won’t be too surprised if RFA D Charlie McAvoy reports to BOS training camp today. He and the Bruins appear to be close to agreement on a contract. We shall see. TSN Bob McKenzie
McAvoy’s stated preference all along was to do a long-term deal with BOS but the expectation is this deal, when finalized, is more likely to be three years, somewhat similar to the Zach Werenski contract in CBJ.

Still no goal tender to carry through post season & what about the other 8 fwd's let alone 6-7 Dmen I keep asking my buddies that are Loafs fans how halfish of your cap going to only a few players has worked out for Chicago and Pittsburgh. I keep telling them get used to no cups and no good chance of winning one. Lottery odds at best now.

I just don't see them building a winner now with all that money tied up. Things are going to get harder not easier for them now. They will need a few miracles with low salary players playing way above their potential. How fast will the fan base turn on these guys too if they stop producing? 11 million a season...won't be long before the fans are calling for trades like a Phil Kessel situation.
