If Marner was willing to sign this deal he would of already done it. This has the potential to get extremely ugly. I don't think the average fan understands the cap hit the Leafs will have to take if he doesn't sign until November or December. All Leaf fans should be praying he signs a deal or offer sheet before September or the pressure will only grow.
He basically needs to sign by start of season or he isnt playing. Cap hit will be something like 12Mil this year if he signs for fair value.
Marner has less and less leverage with every day. Ferris played the media, Dubas didnt cave, No offer sheets got signed, and now rumors and reports that he loves toronto and wants to be here. Marner will cave. He is getting bad advice from Ferris and his dad. Dubas shouldnt crack. What Dubas needs to do, is mid august start leaking trade rumors, how the leafs are looking into getting rid of marner. Scare the ****er and make him smarten up.
No one is asking mitch to take a paycut, but all your comparables, Kanes 2nd contract, points reported worth, aho signing for 8.5/5. Its facts. Aho also is a center, same draft year, better defensively and scores more goals. Goals + Center = more $$. thats also a fact. Also yes he got his most points ever, but how many points would you have passing it into the shin pads and skates and sticks of Kadri, Kapanen, Johnsson. JT elevates players and is a elite finnisher. Not to take away from Marner but those 2 compliment eachother so well.
IMO Marner is 6.5M/2y 7.5/3, 8.5/5, 9/6, 10/8
