His bargaining power is not that strong. He has one great year and only two middling years to back himself up
Will he have more individual success by the end of it? Probably. But Toffoli has been a reliable scorer for some years, including a 30 goal season — and he has won two Stanley cups. That matters.
If I’m Treliving, he’s my comparable — and I’m asking the Mangiapane camp why they think he should even make as much as TT.

And if I'm eatbread I take that as an insult as last contract you told me to prove myself and now I've dropped a 30 goal (probably a 40 goal) season for the team and you want to hard ball me again.
I think fair is the 5.5 -6 for 4 years but he might want less term to get to FA, agent is pushing for short term so I guess we'll see. Find it very unlikely he signs for less than 5.
If JG walks I find it even more unlikely as you need Mangiapane's 30-40 goals even more now and that drives the price up.
