Shanahan & Dubas are banking heavily on the "take-less-for-the-team-to-win" theory (along with the "defence-doesn't-have-to-be-that-great" theory).
They expect their big 3 to take a discount like Tavares did (reportedly left $3 mil per year on the table).
Reports and rumors run the gambit - Nylander insisting on Driesitel money, Matthews insisting on McDavid money (or Taveres money), Marner looking for a good season to push him into Dreisitel money.
Regardless, the Laffs will be paying close to $40 mil for their top 4 for years if they insist on keeping them.
