You know Saros isn't that special to trade all that. Just sign a UFA goalie. Doubt if Montreal does that for one year of Marner.

Monahan is going to get a large payday this year. Probably more than the leafs can afford.

If there were to be a contract in place, it would make it fair value wise, but even then, not sure Marner is a guy that Hughes sees as a good fit in MTL

Habs decline.

If ypu think marners getting ripped for crying on the bench wait till he gets ripped in english and french

Not after signing Caufield under Suzuki AAV and probably Slafkovsky under Suzuki AAV. Then give 12M+ too Mitch Marner

They’ve been pretty open about this cap max not being the case if it were a UFA. And Marner would essentially be a UFA contract much different than exiting an elc or an rfa contract. So I don’t think that would be a concern.

I can see them betting on elite upside and being confident that the culture in their organization would support Marner. The Habs are also much more of a “team” and don’t put everything on 1 or 2 guys which I think would be very helpful.

We shouldnt have to babysit a guy making 10+ million

I don’t think the problem with him is that he isn’t supported by the organisation. He just can’t handle pressure, and going to a place wheresome fans sent death threats to a guy their team drafted and a guy that said bad things about them after beating them in the cup final. Marner won’t be able to perform under that kind of pressure

At least this isn't another Saros/Marner bs proposal.

Yeah I kind of just mean that we’re a much more balanced team so it’s not all on one or 2 guys. So I think he’d actually have an easier time performing. If this were a few years ago I’d say this would go exactly like drouin’s experience but I think we’re very well rounded now making it easier for top talent to perform.
