Revisionist rubbish, he's making at least 1.5-2M more than his peers when he was given that God awful contract
It's also a complete joke he's been put in the same sentence and being paid like the best goal scoring center we've seen for decades and the best player in the game by a country mile
It’s not a great contract and he might be a little over paid but it’s not god awful.

No, they were saying Trotz is the only reason for NY's success, nothing to do with Lou.

Marner for sure is overpaid. I think his market is around 9M, so he's about 1.9M overpaid. Thankfully, due to the structure of Marner's deal, his contract is still a positive, due to the real dollars owed of it. However, unless we decided to trade Marner, that doesn't really help us 
I think the better decision would have been to give Marner a bridge deal. We had just signed Matthews to the big deal, just had brought in Tavares. We should've kicked the can down the road a couple seasons, because signing Marner now, would've been a ton easier, given the flat cap era we're in, among other things.
However, if not for the pandemic, the cap would've risen last off-season, and would've risen this season, and would've risen considerably next off-season. In a rising cap, the big 3 contracts are a lot more workable. Because over those three off-seasons mentioned, there would've been close to an additional 8M-11M in cap space to use.
Hence why, a portion of those saying "Trade Marner" aren't looking it at a "lol soft boy" "lol choker loser" perspective, but rather a "you had a certain financial plan in mind when the deals were signed, said plan is no longer possible, so now we need to adjust, because 3 11M dollar contracts in a flat cap era of 81.5M, doesn't work.

I think they’ll all leak today. We’re already seeing that start.

That Domi news is interesting. CBJ is in for quite a rough patch, especially when Jones leaves.
I'd imagine they're hoping a Laine trade can help salvage things

Well I don't mind Dubas ( I haven't liked all his moves either) and I was on the band wagon thinking the trade for Folingo would push the Leafs at least past the first round... Definitely in hindsight it really blows now.

Kills me that he had to know he wasn’t 100% healthy yet still did the deal….for a 1st rounder no less…….
If he was hurt and still did the trade... that is stupid. I can't really argue that.
