Thread: Team Canada
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BigE</b></div><div>Toews makes the team somewhere....He's the best or at least a top 2 faceoff guy on this team...very important in international tournaments......If I was picking between Toews and Bergeron, I would pick Toews...though it's a very close pick. Also, as good as Marner was last year, does he deserve to be on this team over either Toews or Bergeron? Tough calls for Team Canada going forward....great young Canadians to pick from, but most of these older Canadian veterans have never lost an international tournament....even in Juniors.</div></div>

I totally agree with what youre saying, much of these veterans paved the way for Canada it's honestly a coin toss in my opinion between Bergy and Toews, both are great centers, just felt Berg had a but more overall strengths. On the Marner front I could say he's a great playmaker and I would think he would pair up well with Mcdavid. No doubt Toews is still an amazing center and has my respect. Just too many centers at this point in the line up in my opinion.

Thread: I think I just did Somn
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Chiller</b></div><div>I mean city should not affect term. skill should. Dubas is a math guy and hasnt cracked to any BS marner camp pressure. So I doubt he is going to go, hey here is an extra 1M becasue you live in toronto, and by the way have fun with your 3+mil a year endorcement deals</div></div>

Fair point, I agree Dubas wouldn't be the type to crack to pressure, as we witnessed with the nylander contract last year, he was willing to let him sit. But I feel like a person of marner's caliber, who lead the team in scoring for 2 seasons, he may be inclined to get a deal done before the season starts, to avoid losing out on a player that is a definite difference maker. This could mean that he may have to give in a bit (not fully crack) to marner's ask. I can definitely see marner signing for 10.65-10.85 MM for 5-6 years.
