I figured this deserves it's own thread and I agree that it should be Dubas #1 thing that needs to get done before July 1.
All teams with star RFA's are trying to get them signed before July 1...Just because he said the obvious doesn't hinder that.Why did he give himself a deadline.. he needs to stop statements like these.
Nylander deal is not good, however, Matthews deal seems pretty close to market value. Not sure you should group that one as a disappointment.not holding out much hope he does any better this time around then he did with Nylander/Mathews.
disappointed in the term, not the dollars.Nylander deal is not good, however, Matthews deal seems pretty close to market value. Not sure you should group that one as a disappointment.
Because he doesn't want Marner to become an RFA on July 1 if he's not re-signed before that specific day.Why did he give himself a deadline.. he needs to stop statements like these.
6.9 is also market value for Nylander.Nylander deal is not good, however, Matthews deal seems pretty close to market value. Not sure you should group that one as a disappointment.
6.9 is also market value for Nylander.
That said, Dubas does have to get the marner deal right, both on term and dollar.
Really hope 10x8 is enough to entice marner. He'll be the highest paid RFA winger for a couple years.
His recent performance in the playoffs should be taken into account. However Marner still got 94 points in the regular season and that can not be ignored.Hopefully it's easy to get him signed given that he was -4, had 1 ES point, 1 shot in the last 3 games, miserable PK/PP, etc. this past series.
Although given the intangibles he brings with his youthful exuberance I'm sure everyone will demand Matthews++.
Why would he ask for more than Matthews when he's the worse player between the 2? One plays with a franchise C, the other plays with 2 middle 6 wingers.12x8 if they want it done by July1, because offers of 11x7 from better teams are in the hip pocket.
Confirmed now he’s asking for more than Matthews... and he’s worth the compensation so you have no choice but to give him what he wants, for all intents and purposes he’s a UFA.
It was a lost cause the moment he allowed Nylander to bamboozle him. That good contract horse ran away when Nylander flung the barn door wide open and it broke right off the hinges.not holding out much hope he does any better this time around then he did with Nylander/Mathews.
It's pasta, Ehlers, and other contracts + inflation.Its closer to 7 than 6.9.
It also isn't market value...
Since Brendan Shanahan is still the one in charge I honestly don't see a "Muskoka Five" scenario happening again with him being the Leafs President. If anything things like that have stopped once he was hired and he changed the culture for the good.It was a lost cause the moment he allowed Nylander to bamboozle him. That good contract horse ran away when Nylander flung the barn door wide open and it broke right off the hinges.
I expect even the secondary support players, that chipped in more than Nylander, will expect HUGE OVERPAYMENTS NOW TOO.
This team will now likely lose it's depth due to cap constraints. We may even see the pain of once again becoming a bubble team that has difficulty even making the playoffs, never mind making it through to round 2. The Muskoka five scenerio might be on the verge of rearing it's ugly head once again, this time with younger members.
What Dice is getting at(I assume) is he doesn't need to announce that.Because he doesn't want Marner to become an RFA on July 1 if he's not re-signed before that specific day.
Hi Paul12x8 if they want it done by July1, because offers of 11x7 from better teams are in the hip pocket.

Since there are other RFA's like Point and Rantanen for example, let's hope that Marner signs first before they do and not have either of them set the RFA market.It's pasta, Ehlers, and other contracts + inflation.
It's literally market value.
