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.

Is Mangiapane even the best comparison? Seems like Zach Hyman would make more sense. Bread was allegedly in talks to join Team Canada for the Olympics, Seems like other GMs value him more than just points alone. So I could see him getting seriously paid on the open market and after years of being “low balled,” it sounds like his agent is pissed off now and will ask his client to take a 1 year deal straight to free agency.
