Quoting: CapFriendlysFinest
I personally know Marner isnt worth 11 million but at the end of 5 years couldnt you argue it if he was a regular 90-100 point guy? I am just getting worried with the lack of communication between the two sides. I know Marner isnt leaving, I just really dont want to have another Nylander issue where its November and finally Marner is back you know?
Ennis is great, I also dont think hes worth what I gave him. I think just the idea of staying where you played last year knowing guys like Hyman arent starting could boost his value for another year.
Ive heard sooooo much about if hes ready or not. Offensively he is, Defenselessly hes not. Issue is what other Marlies are ready for that next step?
Dont worry I know petan is that type of player. He fills the role while Hyman is out.
and a 6th is noting to worry about but I understand im sad we keep trading firsts
Moore is the Marlie who was ready to take the next step. Engvall and Marchment are a year away and Bracco.... I think we have another Seth Giffith on our hands with him. I'm not ready to give up on him just yet, but Bracco needs at least 1, probably 2 more years of seasoning.
If we are paying Marner 11, we wont have a team so it won't matter if he will be worth it in 5 years.
Ennis needs to think about life after hockey and for his family. He is going to take the biggest pay cheque given to him, comfort and loyalty aren't really important for guys in his position.
Don't be sad that we keep trading firsts. Statistically we just traded Freddy the Goat to lose Marleau's contract. Carolina tends to draft well but even then you play the odds and hope for the best. Keeping Kappy and Mango (sure things) over a maybe that might be able to help us in 2023 at the soonest is a good move.
Also on the 1sts thing, a late first is only slightly more valuable than an early third. The guy we got 53rd this year was projected to go in the first round by many, and the guy we got 84th was supposed to be a 2nd rounder. Hell the guy we got in the 5th put up the same statline as Casey Mittelstat did, AND HE IS A DMAN. Move the 1st if you need to, keep your lotto ticket picks and draft well with them.
There wont be a Nylander issue with Marner. Ferris pulls this **** with EVERY single one of his clients. No really, every one of them.
Even then, it can't go into the season as Marner's cap hit would be pro-rated (and go up for this year). He will either be signed or traded before the season starts, otherwise he will be sitting out.
