John Tavares our best C with 34 out. He actually scored half his goals thar month.
Reasons pretty simple: pressure. The more you make, the more there is. He hasn't really responded well to pressure here. The playoff numbers declining as series go on, the tears in the box, the awkward social media post after the contract.

That will go over well. Max term is 7 years if it goes into July.
You think it's only a few people. Ok.
Honestly, it's only a bunch of 40, 50, 60 year olds that hate him. Every kid absolutely thinks the world of Marner. You really shouldn't take the opinions of this site as the majority. Not even close.

Might be the reason they are willing to pay him. Winning the cup is secondary. It is why I laugh at a clown like pelley who says they are not here to sell jerseys.

Honestly, as I mentioned before, I don’t blame the players for getting the max but blame the MGT on giving those contracts.
The thing with MM is that when he signed his last contract, he was the highest among Aho, Rantanen, Tkachuk and Point in the same off season. Three of those four won Cups and the one didn’t was signed for 2.2mil less.
If you want to talk about regular season, all four scored more goals and had similar or better points productions.
Personally, if I am MM, I would sign after Rantanen signs his deal. Bc if Rantanen signs for 12mil(unless his Canes production continues), there is no way MM should be paid more than him unless MM completely dominates the playoffs. And I am not talking about the Leafs, I am talking about MM signing with any teams.
You can love MM but think it is not the right fit with the current Leafs.

Liking MM and wanting Leafs to resign him are two separate issues though.

Pretty much, I like Mitch I very rarely criticize his play, I always wanted to extend him but if he gets paid more than he is worth, I won’t be a fan of the decision.
You really shouldn't be laughing at Pelley when you just asked what the difference is between $1M and 1%.

It is not how much MM is getting but rather if Leafs crashes out in the first round again. Is it time to break them up or let’s bet on them again and hope they can do it.
What I’m saying is I’m not giving up 5-7 million dollars to appease strangers who won’t give a shit about me once I’m not a leaf and providing them entertainment.
Technically, Reilly is born and raised in West Vancouver and not Vancouver, lol

I guess you did not understand the analogy of negotiating in dollars or percentages.
Nope, same with the team. They will screw you over. I know I seem pretty direct, but if you ever played a sport at even the collegiate level you will understand that these organizations, use you and spit you out once they are done with you. I have no issues with Marner or any other player maximizing their earnings. You get one life. You, the athlete are putting your body, health on the line. Anything can happen at any point. So nah, I’m not taking less just because.
I blame the team 100% for it. You had leverage. Let him go and sign the offer sheets. You did not have to give him 10.9. Marner took what was available for him to take and I don’t blame him at all for that.
This is a player that typically would take summers off. Management had to sit him down rhis past year and direct him to put in the work this offseason. That became the thing management and teammates kept repeating, that Marner had actually put in the work this offseason. Because it was such a significant story for them.
Winning isn't this guy's priority. He just wants to live the good life. How much would 15lbs of muscle help him? He can't do anything out there because he's so easily knocked off the puck or just plain afraid of being hit. What would legs like St louis do for him?
Meanwhile guys likes Crosby and Kucherov are praised for how hard they work in the offseason. Matthews and Mcdavid train together. Crosby, Marchand and Mackinnon have been training for years together in the offseason. These are players who already have more skills than Marner (size, speed, shots)...however, meanwhile slow tiny Marner thinks he found a loophole of perimeter, non contact hockey that enables him to be paid like these guys.
Kucherov started training just a week after elimination from the playoffs.

Just want to put it out there, this post is purely speculative. You have zero proof that they asked him to do anything.
Also I literally listened to Nathan MacKinnon go on Spitting Chicklets and talk about how him and Crosby went on a 2 week golf bender where they literally got shit faced every night during the off-season. So trying to sell that all those guys do is work out, train and have no fun is a false narrative. All these players take breaks in the off-season and ramp it up when it’s time to go. They all get shit faced. The only difference is Crosby isn’t going to post it on social media, neither is Nathan MacKinnon. Cause they want people like you to buy into their narrative that they are just gud pros. We all know it’s bs.
