A Season Without Marner

I wonder how this would effect the future RFA market.... it is irreplaceable damage as well, cant let him sit a year and then sign him... would ultimately end in a trade if this occurs

I'm in full agreement with you there, if a deal cannot be reached I would say the most likely scenario would be a trade. However, I couldn't even begin to think what the return for a player like Marner would be.

Pumpin up that value for Bracco.

I'd love to see how he'd play with a player like Tavares to be honest, especially if Marner isn't on the team.

I do not think marner sitting is a real possibility. The dude has a chance to play for his home team for millions of dollars, he will sign something rather than make under a million in Zurich (although the team released that he only asked to practice with them, not play so they kind of undermined any leverage marners camp hoped to gain there).
