Description

So...on Marner....I learned today about what his ASK has been. Not saying this is what he gets...but I had it confirmed (and it's been reported already), that his off season ask was for an 8 year deal @ $9m AAV. Leafs rejected and countered around $7-7.5m....no deal

Then we heard around Christmas that Dubas was meeting with his agent to see where things stood. His new ask? 8yrs $11m AAV. I don't think the leafs even countered with anything.

Other GM's have already approached the subject of offer sheets and let his agent know there will be 4 year deals on the table north around $11.75m...and if the leafs don't meet his price...to sign the offer sheet and let them match it so that he can walk right into free agency.

No comments made on if Marner would actually sign the offer sheet just that teams are ready to F- the leafs if given the chance

Ultimate prediction was that leafs get him signed for 3yrs @ $9.5

Who knows what the numbers on Johnsson and Kapanen will be. I can see Johnsson going to arbitration which is a roll of the dice. But figure we have $5-$6m we need to lop off and backfill

If I was him I wouldn't sign for anything less than Mathews

Leafs are determined to get him for less...I don't buy any deals I see on here where he signs for longer term and less money...and I'm not sure how much they want to do a 5 year deal and have him, Matthews and Nylander all come up for deals at the same time. His price at 6-8yrs will be at Matthews' $ or more, IMO.

That's why the 3yr deal under $10m is the one that probably gets donw

3 years @ $9.3, his jersey #. Sounds fair by your reasoning. And it's less than Kucherov, who is the best RW in the NHL. He is also waiting for Rantanen, Laine, Pointe, Stone to sign first I bet.

It was mostly Matthews his agent compares him to most so they were always going to wait for him to sign first and compare his contract to their demands.

I think they’d ultimately settle for around $1m less than Matthews on a similar term (which makes sense given the 8yrs, $11m ask)....and 3 @ $9.3 has a nice sentimentality to it

Looking ahead a 3 year deal puts both Marner, Kadri and Reilly on a collusion course. So just as Bozak and JVR were pushed out for Tavares and now Gardiner, Hainsey and another pushed out for Matthews, Nylander, if Marner gets 3 years Kadri walks as an UFA to keep Mitch.
