Thread: Flyers 20
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Roux</b></div><div>That all sounds good, and maybe I slightly overreacted, but is anyone really worth 12m and FOUR first round picks? I feel like it kind of jeopardizes the future of the franchise. Unlikely but what if Marner has a career ending injury? No matter how good he can be, if something goes wrong or his production drops massively, you've sunk a massive amount of resources into one single player.</div></div>

While it may be a ton of resources in just one player, if you add Marner a second line center and a top 4 dman, this team should be in the playoffs every year so the first round pick should be like 20+ in the first round. The overall talent that kid has makes it worth it even at 12M+. He's also just 21 years old and i think the total length cant be more that 7 years? correct me if I'm wrong. Teams like tha Blackhawks and Penguins traded first round picks every year to add at the deadline for like 3-5 years to keep their chances of winning the cup open for a few more years. The other option here is by submitting an offer sheet, if Toronto knows they cannot match the offer, they can match it and workout a trade with us so they get something in return for losing Marner.
