Thread: Marner wants to stay a Leaf but wants Matthews money
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Goulet</b></div><div>It really is quite amazing if you look at the Islanders stats over the last decade , Tavares' wingers production spike 20-50% when they play with him and then they go back to decent 2nd liners without him. Moulson fell off the planet...

Mitch is better than Moulson, Parenteau, Okposo, Bailey, and Lee, and would probably be roughly a ppg player on his own but I wonder if he really wants to move on to another team with weaker centres and be the main guy as opposed to just the best winger.</div></div>

Exactly. Mitch is great player but imo if he plays with Dubois for example, he is going to 70 point range top. This counts with every team. Tavares had best winger in his career with him but Mitch is not as good as his point totals suggest. Put Nylander on that spot and he scores as much or maybe even more. He and JT have secret magic to them because last year it seemed like any time they stood on ice together they scored. We wil see what happens but it would be stupid for Mitch to go elsewhere.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ledge_And_Dairy</b></div><div>I'm pretty certain he will sign for 7 digits (mid to high 9M range), Point's contract will likely have a lot of influence and I think Point will sign first.

Also Kerfoot and Spezza sucks at PK, IMO thats Toronto's biggest weakness right now, Marner and Hyman are their two best PK forwards now (followed by Kapanen)

I also think Bracco is NHL ready but 4th line would kill his progression.
personally I think TOR should move Kerfoot to Tavares wing, Johnsson with Matthews, then look to move either Bracco or Kapanen for a 3C that can center the PK since that is your largest position of strength/overflow

Other than that opinion, I like the Dalas trade</div></div>

I agree with that Marner thing. He gets signed in mid 9s for 6yrs thats what I signed him for in this ACGM team.

I certainly hope Tavares plays on PK because he is good at that and I also think Shore will play C on PK which he was good at. I just looked at Kerfoots PK stats and yikes.. I hope he is not there lol But Im sure that would get figured out.

Kerfoot is planned to be 3C with Johnsson and Kappy on his wings which would be great 3rd line. There are some issues but I believe those would get figured out.

Thread: Marner wants to stay a Leaf but wants Matthews money
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DerpNation</b></div><div>Well it's a set value of worth. The leafs are letting a core set of players go, to sign a big free agent like Tavares to a huge deal. Marner out performed Tavares. If hes not worth 10.5 million, then the organization has some value problems. Why do you think Lou left the organization, or Nylander held out on negotiations. This stuff doesnt just happen for no reason</div></div>

Marner did not outperform Tavares. Tavares carried him and got his stats bigger in every way. There are many many stats proving it. Marners worth 9mil per on 6yr deal nothing more. Dubas tends to overpay his best players by 0.5M which basically means around 9.5x6 is fair contract for Mitch and slight overpayment. He is not worth more than 10. If Dubas gave Marner Matthews money at 11.634, it would be like giving Josh Bailey 9mil AAV. Which would be stupid. Lou left organization because his contract was done and he moved onto new challenge with NYI. They wanted him to stay in advisory role but he did not want. Dubas is great. Also Nylander held out on negotiations for fair contract. Leafs were lowballing him that is truth. But they settled on fair contract after all. Marner would settle on fair contract with them as well. And it would start with 9.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DerpNation</b></div><div>Hmmm, does someone want to get paid the most they can, for what they're worth? Or take a discount because it betters the billionaire bosses? May as well poop on him some more. Winning a cup doesnt equal dollars for the players. If it's getting called a business, then it's a business.</div></div>

For sure he wants to be paid as much as possible but those expectation are nowhere near close to reality. If he was insisting on 10mil mark and Leafs wanted 9mil per as they possibly want now, that would be realistic and I would give those extra bucks despite some cap things because I want my best players but to demand as much as he wants is completely unrealistic. Taking lesser contract would not hurt Mitch financially. He is pretty rich right now even due to many endorsements. Lower cap hit would look good in public eyes and it would help the team to succeed and I bet winning cup with hometown team for guy who makes so much endorsements equals dollars.

Thread: uh I guess
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BrandonDubinskyGOAT</b></div><div>I agree, though I don’t remember Nylander playing on the fourth line. Marner was not very consistent in 2016-17 and 2017-18. In his first year he was a healthy scratch for a good portion and he spent the first half of his second season on the fourth line. After he got out with Kadri and Marleau, he really picked it up.</div></div>

Yeah.. I did some research (I have my own opinions, I make my own research and I dont live by someones opinion. That counts for everything in my life) for my blog in Slovakia for yesterdays piece on Marners contract and by all the numbers, all the essentials I got in that deal.. I ended up in low 9s on 6yr deal. I know my **** in hockey. And I got a lot of flack with my comments on Nylander but I really believe if you gave Nylander PP minutes instead of Marner, he might have higher point total easily..
