If Marner wants to be stubborn and not waive

Created by: Brad_Treliving
Team: 2024-25 Toronto Maple Leafs
Initial Creation Date: Jun. 4, 2024
Published: Jun. 4, 2024
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Marner has every right to not waive his NMC and remain a Leaf. From the report of Pierre LeBrun, looks like Marner is not getting traded and Darren Ferris doesn't want an extension either (thank god)

What's stopping the Leafs from putting Mitch in the press box? I would rather lose the trade / walk for nothing then to have an entitled brat on the team

So he's going to enjoy the press box and try to make a case to other teams why he deserves $12M after putting up 0 points in 0 games played when he hits FA


This would hurt the leafs more than Marner in the long run. Teams who are interested in Marner going forward are still going to be interested and it’s likely going to marginally affect his next contract but there’s probably a couple teams willing to spend 11m on him next year either way.

On the other side players will see this and see how management treats players after they’ve negotiated deals with him. A lot of players don’t play as well in the playoffs across the league but unless Marner actually did something real this will just be seen as a petty move bc management messed up when they negotiated his deal originally. Do you think guys will want to enter negotiations with that group of people?

Or you know… Leafs still want to have a good regular season. Marner puts up another 90pts season because he’s a good regular season guy, disappears in the playoffs again. Flips the bird to a fan base that really treated like him like garbage for years (and probably even worse this upcoming season) , and gets a major payday with another team.


This really depends on if Shanahan and Treliving want to be the villains in this situation or vilify Marner instead.
They can scratch him until he agrees to a trade, hurt their reputation across the league for doing that kind of thing to a player.
Or they can be the white knights, a “do right by the player” and have the fanbase and Toronto media turn on Marner.


So I disagree that Marner has all the cards. Shanahan and Treliving can be pricks to force a trade. Just have to wait and see if they have the guts to do it…


1. Leafs fans have been treating Marner like gold up until now, excuse after excuse as to why he underperforms when they need him most... When he needed a new contract, 10.9 for 6 years, walks straight to his age 27 year. He gets to play with Matthews on the 1rst line, controls PP1 and PK1, etc. The franchise has treated him like gold... He can never get criticized by management, etc. But the moment management thinks about trading him, he throw a fit...

2. I think most players and agents would understand why they are doing what they are doing. I think more players and agents would respect the Leafs less for bending over backwards for a player that doesn't deserve it
