Thread: Blow it up - Waive that NMC Marner
Let’s review why New Jersey won’t pay that price for Mitch Marner:
1. Mitch Marner is going to be on an expiring contract. All of those assets would essentially be for one year. If they really like the player, they’ll make an offer to him as a free agent in the summer of 2025.
2. He has a no movement clause. He’d have to personally approve of any trade. Toronto’s options are limited trading him. That will decrease his value.
3. Judging by the dozens of armchair GM rosters I’ve seen in capfriendly, it seems as though the Toronto fan base wants to run Marner out of town. Why on earth is New Jersey going to facilitate that happening at a premium price? If New Jersey is going to take on Mitch Marner, it will be for pennies on the dollar.
4. He is not helping himself at all in this playoff series against Boston. Mitch Marner is not a premium asset at this time; he is a distressed asset that’s going to cost a little less than $11M against next year’s salary cap no matter where he plays assuming Toronto doesn’t want to retain on his salary in a trade.
No thank you. Do not call back about this matter.

Thread: Anaheim Ducks signed Cutter Gauthier (3 Years / $1,900,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>kckrebs</b></div><div>Everything in the NHL, from top to bottom, is for the fans. Without fan support there would be no money, no teams, no league. Not sure why you think we shouldn't care what happens with our favorite teams? It seems you care a whole lot about teams that aren't even your favorite, as you seem to comment on about everything lol.. But yeah, take another jab at Philly since I'm clearly the one that needs to not take this stuff so seriously.</div></div>

Reading through this interesting discussion has me wanting to comment just saying that I agree with your statements and I don't believe its a bad thing you are disappointed Cutter didn't sign in Philly. That's totally normal and perfectly legitimate to feel that way. I'm not a fan of players not signing with the teams that draft them. An organization takes a risk drafting a kid, spends tons of time, talent, and money to develop them and then they just leave the organization? Doesn't seem right to me. Obviously if the organization wronged one of their players then that's a different story. However that wasn't the case with Gauthier. I'm really just not big on the whole entitlement thing that appears to be with some of the college prospects. I get that they have a desired destination to play but seriously to spurn the team that drafts you is childish. Like Adam Fox refusing to sign with TWO teams because he would only play in NYC. Its just dumb to me. And who pays the price? The organization who believed in the kid initially and all the fans who were excited for that prospect and are passionate about their team. Sorry that's my rant for today.
