This is the type of negotiation that Dubas would dream of in Toronto but never get - a superstar leader taking less money and term than he would get anywhere else for the good of the team. Chris Johnston tweeted that by the end of this deal Crosby will have played the last 19 years of his career at an 8.7 million cap nit.

Marner and Matthews put the screws to the Leafs by never taking max term unlike stars like Crosby or more recently - Draisaitl. They talk a good game when it comes to team goals but their number 1 priority is maximizng their earnings, end of story.
