Thread: 11 for mitch
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>EyeTestingStats</b></div><div>What I like about your roster is that you pay 11M and you still keep all the pieces... though can only 20 roster spots work? I don't know the precedent there. I guess if they wanted another roster spot, that's where they'd have to balance paying Marner 11M with term vs paying less (10 or less?) for 3 yrs or so? I couldn't figure out how to pay Marner 11M, and then get under the cap WITHOUT trading Ceci. I've seen that a lot in rosters on this site that pay Marner 11... He may not be worth 11, but I'm thinking the two side won't be able to come together on an agreement that is less than 11M and for a term that keeps him longer than the Matthews contract.</div></div>

I think having one guy scratched (21 roster spots) is okay. As long as they've got guys on two-ways, they have the ability to call-up and send down as they need throughout the season. Only thing I'm not certain of is if there is a limit to how many call-ups they're allowed in a season.

Anything under 11m would be great, but I'm using 11 as a worst-case scenario. The fact that this negotiation is taking so long, makes me think Marner is looking for more than 11. I don't really understand how term changes things (I honestly don't get it, please explain...) If he wants more than 11, I say he keeps his couch warm this year.
