LA can't afford Marner next season let alone this season (even with the retention), LA's priority is in this order: Byfield, Starting Goaltender, Roy Reup or Replacement, Arvidsson Reup or Replacement.
Marner has priced himself out of most competitive markets and would be too expensive to obtain if you want blue-chip prospects and firsts to make retention work. I feel like we have this conversation every week, is this how you approach dating? Is this the wear-them-down method?
