Thread: Marner wants to stay a Leaf but wants Matthews money
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sign_em_up000000</b></div><div>I was independent in my youth, I was forced to be. I spent alot of my childhood on the streets raising myself, hence my terrible grammar and punctuation but got alot of life experience (thinking of sports was a great distraction for me and is what kept me warm at night). I agree with what your saying <strong>but Mitch could switch agents if he wants\wanted too (unless his dad wouldn't\wont let him</strong>. I hope you dont judge me on my grammar and punctuation or lack of education as what I lack in that I make up for in life experience and sports knowledge.</div></div>

Nah mate, its all fair, english isnt my first language so im not the right adress to do any of grammar judging here, and whats even more on spot, thats kids thing, residing on grammar, not adults

The highlighted is exactly what im talking about...we cant know....

Thread: Marner wants to stay a Leaf but wants Matthews money
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sign_em_up000000</b></div><div>Marner is an adult and in charge of his own life (makes his own decisions). If Marner robbed a store for example is it his dad and agent going to jail pr Mitch?</div></div>

Well...this is highly debatable thing.....i dont know your age and you might be ( or was in your youth ) very independent person, but somewhere those things arent built like that.

1) kid is playing PS4 at home and Ferris serves him over the phone whatever he wants ppl told him and whats offered and he got a hint to wait a bit more what will happened cause he has Dubarelli in his hands ( Ferris part to crop as much Fee as he can ).

2) hypotetic : kid is 22y and can have some inferiority complexes cause of whatever did happened at home, how do we know what type of "ruler at home" his dad was, so can you asure me that kid didnt told them both hey, lets sign 8 x 10M and Paul snaped him over his head and told him : You do what i told ya, i want my money back that i invested into your bloody career and everything i have to sacrifice so you are here where you are now.....

Thread: What I would like for Marner
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>oneX</b></div><div>I'm okay with Marner trying to get as much as he can but when I comment in any ACGM about him or any player for that matter, I'm viewing the situation from a GM point of view.

I hope Marner gets everything he deserves and then some, he is a fantastic young kid.
Sorry if me viewing things from a GM perspective makes me look like I'm anti Marner or have some special vendetta against him. I don't.</div></div>

nah mate, its all fair, didnt went after you with that statement, Its just....bad parenting.

You buy your first kid a bike in January cause he ended two years with B overall but this year he started with A grades and at midterm you already reward him with anything that he wants, just so he ended the year with B+, while your other kid gets yo-yo after two years with B overall and ended the year with A grades, but its the first kid who got your looks and the second didnt ( center and winger reference ) so you like him more.....

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jamiepo</b></div><div>No if Dubas wouldn’t have gave Matthews a contract he wouldn’t have been here right now. July 1st Matthews has an offersheet for13m+.... for real, not these Ferris sheets. He’s a big goal scoring franchise centre. After watching what he did and how he did it last season I think Dubas did what he had to. I couldn’t see Matthews on anything under 12.5m on an 8 year deal. Losing him would have been a colossal mistake.</div></div>

Well...two camps again, me, palhal and few others coming from the other side of the tracks...or glass half filled with water, you know. I believe we all were giving him 7-8 x 10-10,5M back last summer ( didnt went to check your old threads but im sure those were my numbers and many others too, and i even considered that an overpayment ) and i completely agree he being signed was top priority, its just either 8 x 11,6M or 5 x 9,5M in my books if we start building on numbers that Dubarelli gave us.

Bothers me now all ppl are yelling, fck you greedy Mitch and similar, tho Ferris has all the right to play "we want Matthews money" game and we are talking about the native son of Toronto, so he should be praised even more........

Thread: No cap space for Marner
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Willian_Cardoso</b></div><div>How much do u think Marner will accept? 9M? Even if he accept "just" 9M, Toronto would still be in a cap hell situation. Just 3 players getting more than 30M and 4 getting almost 40M. That's insane!
Besides, if Leafs offers just 9M, I think there'll be a offer sheet by another team and Leafs will lose him anyway. <strong>Toronto should move on from Marner.</strong></div></div>

Wrong...even at 10,568,590 for Marner ( lets neglect Term for now ) there will be 13M Cap space for filling three D spots on 22 men roster in 2020/2021, if we assume Sandin and Liljegren will be ready for 3rd Pair and Cap will be go up for 2,5M, so 84M.

Tho i have to say the trade looks good for our Fan base

Thread: What I would like for Marner
I would say that first bluf that Ferris was trying to pull, the infamous Offer-sheet, isnt working anymore. The "magicaly loaded" Teams that should do it and have Cap space are all coming with their own "big contracts" to be signed next year and would need to dump 4 players+ to be compatible, so this trump card has gone.

Or even if its still a thing, as i said yesterday in one of the threads, While Mitch doesnt have much saying in negotiations part where Ferris and Paul are holding upper hand at it to crop their share, when it will / was come to signing an Offer-sheet theres pretty much what i was saying from the start...thats the part where he can decide how thing will play and he will not sign it, knowing hes town darling and all the money the others can offer him, he can compensate thru all the additional assets and benefits that hes cropping thru advertisments being a hometown boy etcetc

Supposedly ( by the mighty Burke ) TML offered 8 x 10M, which Ferris rejected, so Dubarelli's message with signing everyone else was, we offered our max, cause you want shorter term anything that we will talk from now on will be in money span that we left for you ( 9,7M )

Tho you neglected additional leverage that Ferris will play on, the holdout into the Season which with Cap crunch will rise the Marners impact into this years Cap and forcing Dubarelli tryin to avoid it.....

My curent guesses are :

3 x 7,7M ( after 2 x 6M and 3 x 4,67M you know who )
4 x ------- ( avoiding the term )
5 x 9,5M ( 1M above Aho, just cause Dubarelli can )

But hey, i am the guy who was giving Matthews 8 x 10,5M ( Eichel ) last summer....what do i know.....
