As a Jets fan, I would like you to be his new agent.
TSN: Jets hoping to re-sign Stastny

So there's some alternate universe where David Clarkson isn't generational?
Sure, Marleau is the most "generational" 47-point 38-year old LW in living memory. At least the irresistible allure of the great metropolis of Toronto allowed the Leafs to sign him for a bargain basement $6.25M salary (only #6 in the NHL among LWs).
I can't see him taking too much of a discount. He'll get north of 5 million on the open market and 4-5 years. Term is extremely important to a 32 year old FA.

Wait, that can't be true. I read a post from a Leafs fan saying that no UFA would ever want to sign with Winnipeg...
imagine caring about the Leafs this much, where did this come from lol
quite ridiculous you think patrick marleau is "generational". maybe you haven't been around for a while
Ya he is a prize. No other team was stupid enough to sign him for that contract. Top shelf signing to put yourself into a bind.
in a bind? the leafs are not in a bind at all. conduct some research before you make outrageous statements.
I am surprised you haven't slithered away by now like you usually do. 3 players to sign...matthews 5 mill, nylander 5 mill, marner 5 mill....or course tavares will be expensive at 6 mill and a number 1 dman for 6 mill. That's only 27 mill on the books...now if those numbers double....but home town discounts and endorsement deals right?
thats some absurd figures you think they'd sign for. only 5 million for the big 3 and 6 million for two other players? damn. that even worse than what leafs fans think they will sign for. i suggest you should really look at what other players who have similar production as those guys have gotten. again, do some research before you type nonsense. it will help you in the long run.
I think you need to upgrade your sarcasm detector software ( it might require a system reboot).

Bit OT.. browsing and noticed he's already made ~63 million USD. Pretty good player but my gods. He could easily pick whatever team he wants and sign a friendly contract to make it happen.
You aren't the sharpest tack are you? I purposely showed those lowball numbers to show how fast the space the leafs have gets eaten up. Like I said...double those numbers and your officially in a bind like I said. Try to keep up with the conversation...everyone explaining things to you in every thread is getting old.
don't you think i already know the leafs cap space will be eaten up? why don't you try and publish this as a theory? maybe you will finally get somewhere.

So why would you say they are not in a bind? They obviously are.. ..slither...slither...
right. jvr would get a regrettable contract regardless of the marleau signing. its nice to see one jet fan be sensible.
12 + 9.5 + 8 = 29.5....that pretty well data up the cap. Looks like that marleau contract as the highest paid player on the leafs last year created a bind. Guess you can't do math.
