I love hearing fans talk like they have any clue how negotiations work in this era of hockey. Its not 1986 anymore, you don't walk into a room with a bunch of white haired suits and push a piece of paper across the table and say, "Here's our offer, take it or leave it."
You guys are all just silly, both sides of this arguement, its nonsense. Marner just like the rest of the high profile RFA's are just waiting for someone to blink, whether it be a GM or a player someone is going to blink and when that happens, the market will be set and all this will sort itself out. Forget the past, who cares about what other people signed for, all that matters is one of the people involved in this. (Dubas, Marner, Point, Tampa's GM, Sakic, Rantanen, Calgary, Tkachuk, etc) Someone is going to blink and set the market, and when that happens the rest will follow.
If that seems like a reasonable assumption, its because it is. Its the only explanation to the current no news situation we are in. Its a waiting game and there are many people involved and it won't likely move until August sometime. There are zero issues with that and I for one am just going to relax and enjoy the summer, getting stressed about Marner wanting more money according to dummies who need to attract click bait to sell adds is not how I want to spend my time.
