you're right. they should have battled with nylander, it would have set a precedent. now matthews, you dont fight with, because he's your best player. whatever he wnats, you give him. but if they fiught nylander, marner would be signed to really good contract right now, and the rfa market wouldn't have been ludicrous.
Nylander's is the only contract that is good team value. Matthews took them to the mat, but he's your Captain, and your Franchise Centre, you have to pay the man.
The fact that they even entertained a number starting with 10 for Marner is absurd.

Nylanders contract is fine if he puts up 70 points... but he has yet to do that yet, so its not a good team value yet..
but thats beside the point for the point I was trying to make... He held out and the leafs ultimately budged and gave nylander what he wanted, and in fact paid him for all the time he missed at the start of the season aswell...
