Especially taking a silly stance that it's 7 or 8 years or sit. What's wrong with 1 year? Or 2 years, for example.
If Dubas takes that stance, he'll have lost control of every future negotiation and will be soon replaced. You can't make players sign lifetime contracts if they don't want to.

There is nothing wrong with one or two years, I was responding to a post that stated Marner was insisting on a five year $10M deal so he can have his cake and eat it too. GM's have to take some kind of stand for themselves so they have some advantages too. If Marner wants $10M plus a year he has to concede UFA years or he can sit at home. Also Marner is like 21, it is sad that his career will be over at 28 or 29 seeing how you know this.
