Thread: Marner signs 8-year extension in Chicago
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>exo2769</b></div><div>I'd still rather have Vlasic/Jones for the next 6 years and allow Levshunov proper development time too. I get he would be a #2 OA pick and all, but he's still a kid. He and Rinzel will be fighting for a roster spot in a year from now and that's a healthy competition. One will win and the other to Rockford. Then when Murphy's contract is up...you're hoping they're both ready. If each of them is not ready...then you sign a vet RD to a 1 year deal.</div></div>

Completely agree with your assessment. I'm just playing devils advocate. But it sounds more and more they're going to draft Levshunov. Some folks say he's NHL ready now but I bet/am hoping he goes back to MSU for 2nd year. Then he can be ready for 25-26, Rinzel in AHL for a year and in 26-27 you'll have Levshunov-Jones-Rinzel on the right.

Thread: Marner signs 8-year extension in Chicago
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DJP1117</b></div><div>Not sure who Nolan Allen is ifhes a good prospect. but if hes a so-so prospect. If im Chicago im using that framework for a trade 100000%, having marner to play with Bedard would be nice.
Just as a leafs fan I see Jones contract as a worse contract. hes at 9.5 til hes36 years old...Hes already going to be 30. Right now he may be OK at 9.5 on the right team but in a couple years we got anotherTavares contract going. If im giving up Marner whos only 27 , an all star, consistent 100 point average player im dropping some of that extrafrom chicago and having them retain a little bit of salary.
hes not that stay at home good defensive guy the leafs need imo. Id much rather Tanev at 5M</div></div>

For reference, there are no scouting reports on CapFriendly for him. He was a bit of a reach draft choice by Stan Bowman. Drafted 1st round 32nd overall in 2021. He's 6'2 almost 200lb LHD who is a stay at home type player. Comps at the time were Brent Seabrook but without the Seabrook ceiling. I imagine he could make his way up to LD2 but more likely a really good LD3. He is doing well in AHL but hasn't made it to NHL yet as Hawks have a logjam at LD. He's a B prospect. Likely to see NHL time.
