Thread: Marner Bridge - Reality
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>blowing_the_zone</b></div><div>I have a feeling it's heading towards a 3 yr deal worth around 9M aav. That's an overpay for what he's worth today and it's my guess that will be increasingly true once the other rfas start to sign.

But if Mitch is dug in at 3yr/10M it seems like a compromise both ways, the leafs can make it work, and it compares to a 3 yr offer that was on the table for AM. But oh man, if he gets a deal like that he better come outta the gates producing... cause if he's feeling sensitive and disrespected now just wait til he sees how the fan base turns on him if he doesn't put up numbers..

The other option that I can see happening is that Ferris and Paul are actually deluded and they continue to try to bully tactic the leafs and Marner ends up sitting for the year.</div></div>

You know a deal is bad when you say, He better come out of the gates producing. AKA he better be a 94+ point player for the entire contract length, I sure really do hope it wasnt a fluke and his points didnt get inflated by playing with JT

Marner has no power. I agree he can ask for whatever he wants. But I want to make a million bucks. But I bet my boss won’t pay me that.
Facts
-no offersheet has been formally submitted
-rumors,if true, Marner declined some offers due to term And unsure if leafs matching because he wants to stay
-leafs now have 10.55Mil in reserve to go into the season with Mitch. That would mean a bridge deal but still.
-3-4 great comparables from Kane to Aho to Kucherov to point rumers have him around 9.25/6
-no arbitration rights
- saw nylander suck from missing camp and probably doesn’t want that

What power does he have other than hope they suck and Dubas caves...

He isn’t really showing that home town boy love

10x5 is a 1.5AAV overpay.... Aho signing is the starting points. Best comparable there for a long term. Kucherov great comparable for a short term.

I’d say mitch, 7Mil/3 or 9.5/7. Take it or sit and have fun. Negotiate in reality not in your fairyland

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>F3ruS</b></div><div>I think Honka is a lost case by now, so i wouldn't trade for him if i were Toronto's GM, same with Shattenkirk(regressing), i think in general D = needs big guys(6,0+ &amp; 200+), who are super though to play against. I feel like Honka is just small+ not strong enough, althought west to east could be working, so you just never know. I guess if u think Liljegren and Sandin not ready, it could work for a year. For 2 years im not so sure...

BTW just a note, i heard Colorado fans saying Barrie = not a good defender, so dont be that sure that your D improved, until u havent seen him for 82 games.
If he gets the same role as Zaitsev.. it will be bad...(not me saying this, AVS fans who watched him play a lot) I have just turned into AVS fan for this year...(as my 2nd team)
i hope Babcock will play him in offensive shifts or smth like that most often... in my mind Muzzin+Barrie = perfect linemates, and that should be good...</div></div>

Dubas has built his D the same way. Strong puck moving defensemen. Size doesn’t really matter as long as you can get the puck out with control. With this forward group it’s all you need.

Barrie is great at it, but you put him in a defensive roll I think he will be misused.

Babcocks line decisions worry me so much so that I don’t think he will maximize this team.
