The media covering the Toronto Maple Leafs barely acknowledged this news before moving on to the Mitch Marner contract, which was kind of crappy, if you ask me, which you didn’t have to because I have my very own column!
Mitch Marner is going to sign a contract with the Leafs and I won’t waste anyone’s time or money talking about it. I only have this comment: the thing he said about not negotiating during the season due to it being a distraction has turned out to be pretty hilarious.
As for Matthews, I think people really need to realize a couple of things in order to be as happy about this deal as they should be.
