I dont hate it but I cant see Lou paying anyone 11+ mill

And in July next year, when Marner walks, instead of having 5 more seasons of Ryan Pulock and the beginning of the career of the guy you could have drafted at #18 overall this June, you have nothing other than your record next season.

Does that seem like a good strategic plan?


Try $12 million plus on his extension -- IF he wants to stay on the Island.

Is this the smartest decision no, it has tons of risk but if Lou is wanting this team to contend and is willing drive the train off the tracks why not when offense is the number one priority.

Unless Marner were to extend for 10 or so mil, not a chance. He isn't worth 12 million, let alone the 13 or so he's probably gonna get

If the islanders are the only team close to contending out of all the offers then he might sign for 10.5 for the isles
