I agree with you on Marner, mostly because they aren't going to win a Marner trade, so they are likely not going to end up a better team, and he would have full control over where he goes, so it's likely going to be some contender who will get a whole lot better which won't improve the Leafs' chance of winning. That being said, I think Marner signing for 11.5M is wishful thinking and that he would likely cost them at least 11.75M but more than likely 12-12.5M, but if he's willing to take 11.5M then I guess that shows that he's willing to take less to keep their core+ together.
