Description

For me, the biggest mistake of the Kyle Dubas era will always be the Mitch Marner contract. Even though he is an excellent player, there is no way to justify paying him the same amount as the franchise cornerstones John Tavares and Auston Matthews. With the cap savings from him, the team could've afforded to sign a 2RD and their roster would be unstoppable.

You can't win a cup with Vesey on your team and Barabanov is unproven, so I don't understand why people are putting him on the third line

We get it, you don't like the contract, what's the point of carrying on about it for years?

And especially making ACGMs with a lower contract? It's done, it's not going to change.
