This past Monday, the Montreal Canadiens announced that they had signed one of their young stars Cole Caufield to an eight-year extension, which led to Twitter battles about the Toronto Maple Leafs handling of the Mitch Marner contract.
Fans from across the NHL have chimed in stating that former general manager Kyle Dubas caved to the Toronto Maple Leafs superstar forward in contract negotiations.
During the summer of 2019, Toronto hockey fans sat around for their hometown playmaking winger to sign a long-term deal, but had to wait into training camp before the deal was done. Marner would eventually sign a six-year deal that would come with a cap hit of $10.
