Supposedly he wants a three year deal where the 3rd year is $12M salary which is also crazy because then they have to qualify him at $12....not happening.
Honestly if I'm the Leafs I'm shopping him in a trade at this point, issue is nobody will want him due to salary demands.

It is more that he feels slighted when compared to the Matthews contract. If Matthews had been signed to an 8 year contract at a higher amount, he might have been more open to it. Leafs screwed up in the Matthews contract situation, but honestly, this might also be the new norm.
