Description
That’s the maximum number, if he wants more than that he can sit, and as for term 6 is all that makes sense for leafs, 1-3 is a bridge and he won’t take bridge worthy money so not happening, 4 walks him to UFA so no, 5 makes him expire same time as Matthews and Nylander, 7-8 is too long and he will refuse to sign that long, that leaves 6 and there you go 6 years every Penney that is available and you got yourself a contract

Is the worry that on a 4 year contract that takes him to UFA that he'll walk and sign elsewhere?
Or is it the optics of not buying up any of his UFA years?
I get either of those issues but I think Marner wants to be a Leaf for life and Matthews will be gone after his final year (or earlier) so Dubas shouldn't be worried about signing Marner to a 4 year deal.

Not a Leafs fan but that's just how I see it.

The worry is that if he is being this difficult now, then when he has no restrictions he will want a ridiculous amount and if the leafs don’t pay it someone else will, and as for Matthews dipping in 5 years I don’t see that happening unless the leafs fall off or ARZ Suddenly becomes a contender because while it’s nice to go home it is even nicer to win

Great Post which makes total sense.

Marner the Magician is a franchise player for the Leafs and his deal is going to get done like the rest of the RFA's on other teams who also have not signed yet. Leaf fans and Marner himself are going to be very happy when his deal is done as he is going to be the face of the franchise for the long-term (ie Greater than 5 Years). Marner is also going to make alot of money from endorsements in Toronto as the corporate community also want to sign the Magician to endorsement deals once he signs his contract with the Leafs.

Gotcha, I think he'll be a Leaf for life, well most of his life anyway but I get the point about being difficult, big money offers from other teams, etc.

I didn't necessarily mean that Matthews would want to go home but the Coyotes have been building a pretty decent team actually that's really been derailed by injuries the last couple of seasons so given the ages of their core and where they'll likely be in 5 seasons it's fairly safe to say adding Matthews would make them a contender in the 2025-26 season.

I didn’t mean to say ARZ is bad but for thews to leave TOR I think they’d have to be just as good as the leafs which I don’t see that happening, but then again a lot can happen if 5 years so who knows, I just think all the Matthews wanting to leave rumours never had any substance other than that he didn’t like Babcock but the odds are Babs won’t even be here in 5 years lol

I see a six year 9.5-10 million per deal that will be signed before opening day and probably by opening of camp. After opening day the pressure will be on Marner not the leafs. He does not really having the option of holding out once the season starts due to the cap rules of mid season signing bumping up this years cap hit and reducing the future years cap hits. The leafs had the cap space last year to do it with Nylander but they don't his year.

Nylander's deal was 6 years at 7.5 million but because he signed at the deadline that became 10 million last year and 7 million for the next 5 as far as cap hit goes. Now if Marner was to try the same thing and demand 10 million for six years and sign at the last minute in December then the cap hit will be something like 14.25 million this year and and 9.3 million for the next five.

So as the regular season ticks buy his salary will have drop as each game is played in order for the team to not have cap issues. The pressure will be on Marner to sign sooner than later once the season begins.
