NO. Things are fine between player and team. Negotiations are snagged on term.
Why the negotiations got snagged on term!!.
Nylander up 1st gets top $ for sacrificing only
1 year of UFA status.
Matthews up 2nd gets top $ for sacrificing only
1 year of UFA status.
Now Marner up 3rd for renewal and suddenly Dubas/Leafs need
4 years of UFA status purchased away from him, for Mitch to that his top $$. [based on $10 mil X 8 years rumoured Leafs offer]
Its surprising that Leaf fans blame Mitch for this situation and balking at Leafs offer, when its rather obvious why the Marner side (including Agent/Father) feel Leafs organization is disrespecting them in contract negotiations by suddenly moving the goal posts, and changing the terms forcing Marner into a situation that neither Nylander nor Matthews was asked to do on their new contracts.
For all 3 Amigos to be treated equally and given the
same terms of 1 year of UFA status, then Leafs should be offering Marner a contract based on 5 year term [which is what Marner is asking $10.5 mil X 5].
Since Marner's side feels the Leafs organization is screwing them over, they're all but forcing Marner to attempt to get an OS to be treated fairly and equally this his Leaf brothers, whether the Leafs match it or not. Further pissing off their side by saying if they got a comparable OS, the Leafs are not sure they would even match it or take the comp picks perhaps.
All things considered clearly the problem is TERM, but all things might not be so rosy. !!!
