Nothing against Toffoli. He was a good player for us, but he is not the kind of player you want to give a really expensive long term contract to.
And I think he's probably right.

I would have bet our top PP unit wouldn't have been built around Tyler Toffoli next season with Muller and Sutter gone.

Hell it's baffling that he seemed to be the focal point of the PP last season with Lindholm and Huberdeau playing secondary roles.
