Certainly believes things have gotten a bit cool between the Marner camp and the Leafs. Mentioned how Marner already feels like he was shafted by not being given his B bonuses on his entry level deal which cost him upwards of 3 million to this point, which fuels his ability to sign an offer sheet without feeling to bad about things. Says he definately wants at least Tavares money but only on a 5 year term so he can maximize his UFA money.
Fascinating if true.

Good, I hope Marner sticks it to the Leafs. They deserve it, they’ve changed the landscape of rfa contracts. Only fitting it bites them first.
