The Leafs don’t want Biega because he’s French but they’d take Tanev every day of the week for that package you just proposed. He’ll be playing wit Rielly of course. I have been speaking to a lot of girls in the Leafs fan base about Marner’s situation. They all told me that if they were the Leafs’ GM, they would keep Nylander (6 years 7 million AAV) and get rid of Marner (~5 years, 10.5 million AAV) at all costs. They believe Nylander is more worth keeping because his on ice performances are consistent therefore he can easily justify the salary he is making. Plus, he is more hard working, committed and loyal to the team as he would sacrifice anything to ensure the Leafs succeed whereas Marner is selfish, lazy and greedy. They think ability wise that Marner is in the same category as Nylander, therefore there is no reason for Mitch to demand so much more money than Willy. What’d you think?
