Thread: Marner
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Matthews34</b></div><div>This is just an insane line of thinking. If he won't sign for 9.25x6 in Toronto he won't suddenly lower his asking price by 2 million just because of what the Ducks have some of their guys making.</div></div>

It is not that insane at all really. Marner is holding out because on the Leafs roster he believes he is worth every much as Matthews. He is using the Leafs internal cap and teammates as his comparable. This would all change if he were traded. He can ask for the Matthews deal but wouldnt get it. The new team isnt going to care about the Leafs and their cap situation. They would use there own and the league for comparables to determine his value. Making it much more likely Marner signs for less. 5x9.5-10.5 likely.
