I'm personally tired of listening to it all. All the boards, TV and internet. Everywhere you go that's all that's being talked about.
Love the kid, love his talent, love his work ethic and desire but time to ship him off.
Asking way too much and I feel part of that blame is management (Dubas). Is it just me or are there some good deals being signed around the league but we seem to pay high price for ours.
Wasn't happy with the Nylander drama and at that time said send him off or let him sit and feeling the same now with Mitch.
He feels he's getting slighted and thinks he should get paid Matthews money.
Do I like Matthews contract? Not really but in my opinion he's the better player and more valuable. Needs to stay healthy and he will put up better numbers with the proper usage and linemates.
Getting back to Mitch hate to lose him but I think we've put ourselves in a bind with these contracts. I would trade him for some solid pieces, better contracts or take the 4 picks if he gets offered. Going to need some good drafting or more affordable players once Andersen Reilly need new contracts not even mentioning what they are going to do with Muzzin and Barrie.
I think the issue here is Marner doesn't want to play second fiddle and Matthews will always be the guy. The star, the guy in the spotlight and the face of the franchise.
