Obviously I can get behind Marner the player, but I just don't feel his contract would be a good thing for MTL. The bar is set right now with Suzuki at $7.8M, Marner will probably seek a raise on his current $11M and it just breaks the culture a bit I think.
Aside from the obvious talent, how does Marner fit in with MTL's team build? You've got Suzuki and Caufield as right handed guys for PP1 - so Marner would have to bump one of them realistically and I'm not sure that helps seeing as MTL is already invested in those two players for the next 6 and 7 years at least.
