<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dzad96</b></div><div>You're not getting Marner.

My point is there isn't a single team that has all of these traits:

1) The Cap space to pay Marner 11+ million a season
2) The willingness to spend 11+ million a season on Marner (a winger Id like to point out)
3) The draft picks to do so.
4) A place where Marner would like to live for the next 7 years.
5) A team Marner would like to play on for the next 7 years.
6) A GM who actually has the balls to do something like this and pi$$ off the richest team in hockey.

here's what Philly is lacking: 1, after that MORONIC Hayes contract. Only reason you have any cap space is that Voracek trade, which i can't see happening.
4 and 5, can't see Marner choosing Philly over Toronto for a couple more dollars.</div></div>

First off, hockey aside, as someone who appears to be from the Toronto area, I don't think you realize what a great city Philadelphia is and also how optimal its location is. I see no reason Marner wouldn't sign in Philly for 12.5m if Toronto can't afford to give him 10m+. Also step off the high horse. No one gives a **** that the Leafs are the Leafs. Let them be pissed if they want, business is business.

All that being said. Yes, I was questioning the Voracek trade a bit myself. The Avs have the cap space and a lot of young talent. Voracek is a fantastic hockey player who's locked in for five more years. However, if they aren't interested, I think Voracek has to be worth at least two firsts and a second somewhere. That is where we would get the picks to reload after offer sheeting Mitch Marner.

Finally, I've never been high on the idea of offer sheeting Marner anyways. I'm just playing around with some possible scenarios and getting creative as a keyboard warrior GM anyways cause its fun. I don't think I'm too far out of reality with this though. The market is very interesting this year.
