Thread: Marners camp has lost its mind
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Johnjohn</b></div><div>He will make 3x 9.5 million. I will bet anyone this is what he will get. I still don’t get why leafs fans are thinking he will take less because of some home town discount . Pay up Toronto. He will be gone in 4 years and be one of the highest paid players in the nhl.</div></div>

Not really thinking he would take a home town discount. But when you look at the top wingers in the league what are they getting paid?
Panarin 11.6m
Stone 9.5
Kucherov 9.5
and Kane 10.5 After the 3 cups


All on long term deals. Yes there are small differences with each contract but when you break it down.
Id be totally happy with a 5 year deal at 9.5-10 mil for Marner. Let him go to free agency afterwards if he wants, thats his right.
Do you really think if he signs a 3 year deal at 9.5 million he will be getting 13-15 million a year after that?
Kids a great player that shows up every day and works his ass off.
But stop all this talk about Leafs and their fans not wanting to pay their players. Reports are they have offered hi 10-11mil a
year on a 7-8 year deal. They payed Nylander above market value and handed Matthews a blank cheque basically. It was Marner's camp's choice to go last.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>F50marco</b></div><div>Can a team just offer sheet him already (and he accepts)?!?! lol

I'm dying to see the gain/loss on a four 1st offer sheet over the period. I still think depending on the player being received and the team's organizational standing at that time, that it makes sense to do it.</div></div>

As a guy who loves Marner's game both skill and the effort he puts out, at 3 x10m or 3 x 11m as has also been reported. leafs would be better off with 4 firsts and the cap room.
Which is also why I think no one will offer sheet him because they would be helping the Leafs out.
Leafs with 10mil in cap space a 4 firsts to trade to plug some holes.... I don't think any team right now in the league wants that to happen.

Thread: The future and now discussion 3
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>hanson493</b></div><div>Sure but they still dont beat boston, if they can avoid boston then they have a chance. Defense is slightly improved. I think Marner pulls a nylander and waits till december. TO gets a B+ and should trade away more picks. Also instead of making this in the arm chair gm, post in the forums section.</div></div>

If Marner waits until December his contract will be pro-rated ( Just like nylanders) meaning it will have a higher cap hit, which the leafs will not be able to absorb without marner taking less money. only way Marner gets all the money he desires is if he signs before training camp.

It might be optimistic to say but I think the Leafs have a better chance against Boston if they meet again this year. Muzzin for the whole year, with the other new defence men and Nylander can't play as bad as he did last year...right?.....right?!!!

Just don't put Nylander at center and don't have Kerfoot cross check anyone in the head and it might change things.

Thread: Marners Camp Guessed Wrong
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>I don't know if the Marner actually thought they were going to get McDavid ore even Matthews money, but they were hoping so. Sure looks they aren't getting that money from the Leafs. But is there any team what wants to pay him substantial more than the Leafs offer? Doubtful. But Marner is in good company. Virtually all of the other top RFAs who are coming off their ELCs haven't signed either. Or you suggesting they all get traded too? Or that all of them reamained unsigned when the season starts.</div></div>

To be honest I don't follow the other teams enough to comment. From little I know id say that Point and Mikko are staying with their respective teams. Interesting ones are Tkachuk and Boeser because those teams have less cap space then the leafs do.
Again not an expert but id say they all will most likely sign before the season starts.
I put in the comment about sitting out as more of a " Marner has three options here they are" and less of a possible outcome.
