"Leafs’ Lamoriello balks at bonus demands of Auston Matthews"
"“This one, to me, feels foolish,” an NHL source not involved in the talks told The Star. “I don’t know what Lou’s reward is if he wins for the amount of risk you take by going this direction.”"
"The Leafs not only risk alienating Matthews and his camp — souring future talks when Matthews will have more leverage — but they may be sending a negative message to players around the league about how the team treats stars, he said."
It is the toughest time for the media in Toronto ever. They have no info whatsoever on what is going on.
That was yesterday's article. Apparently the deal was already done.
