Matthews can get whatever he wants regardless of his points total.
Marner will follow suit
The team has to agree with it. In fact, Nylander never wanted 6.9

In my opinion he’s the leafs best, most important and most important player. He can clearly do abs see things on the ice that only the very, very elite players can.He's a high end winger but I don't think he's franchise level.

And technically he got more than 6.9m. Nylander's actual salary works out to be an average of 7.5m per season over his 6 year contract according to CapFriendly and that's all that likely matters to him. His 6.96m cap hit is what matters to the Leafs. Is Nylander really getting paid 12m in total salary this season like CapFriendly says he is? Damn.
Has nothing to do with turning down money and more to do with getting paid the market rate. Leaf players have fans and media blowing smoke up their ass 24/7 and they get a sense of inflated worth. It's up to Dubas to bring the raw numbers and facts to the discussion and show them what their real comparable are and not give in.
Fans will be pissed if they lose out on Matthews or Marner over a few million, they'd be even more pissed if the team can't ever get out of the first round because they have 5 legit NHLers and the rest of the roster is ELC / tweener depth because that's all they can afford.
This is assuming there is any truth to the media reports. Matthews' agent has said money isn't the main factor he wants to win and be recognized as one of the best in the game and he can do both with the Leafs while getting paid well. Marner might be more of a challenge with his dad being an influence and him having a difficult agent to deal with.
But we'll see. Main board isn't the place to discuss this where everyone hopes the Leafs get ****ed over and pay the highest possible price.
I don't get what that matters. They'll be compared to other players. Marner won't magically get millios more than Rantanen just because Nylander is on the team.If Nylander got 7 ....
Nylander asked for 8.5.And technically he got more than 6.9m.
