Sid Seixeiro has never been shy of creating controversy and in a recent Twitter post he criticized ex Toronto Maple Leafs GM Kyle Dubas for the contracts he signed with John Tavares, Mitch Marner and Auston Matthews.
The criticism behind the Matthews contract was that the Toronto Maple Leafs “Paid Matthews top dollar without getting an 8-year commitment”.
While many fans would have loved to get Matthews locked down to the maximum length of contract and not go through this summer wondering will he or won’t he be here in the foreseeable future, this contract was not out of the norm for the league.
