oh man...is it October yet??

 

[Orfieus]

Will this go against our 50 contracts? Aren't we at 49 now and we still need to sign Bernier

 

[WTFMAN99]

He's off to the U20 camp this weekend as well

Wonder why it took so long.

"The Toronto Maple Leafs downloaded the top 5 NHL entry level contract template, filled in Marner's name, filled in their name, emailed it to Marner's agent who changed a couple of minor things to look like he did something, emailed it back to Pridham who printed it out, got it signed, filed it with the league and waited until today to announce it."

Leafs new contract guy may or may not be difficult to deal with.

 

[PuckMagi]

Who is this guy? Anyone have any info on him?

 

[canadon]

So, does this affect the team he will be playing for in 2015 (e.g. the Knights vs the Marlies)?

 

[Damisoph]

Cool

 

[Smif]

Lamoriello's first signing, what a start for the legend.

He can't play for the marlies regardless

Basically it opens up the option for him to play for the Leafs. He's playing for the Knights or Leafs. The AHL isn't an option for a player from the CHL. I think they have to be 20 or something

because negotiations began before he was hired, I understand he made an exception. Be interesting to see if it continues.

One note on Marner contract: he gets the "A" bonuses. Lou Lamoriello historically does not believe in them (see Adam Larsson), but.

Friedman understands nothing in the era of silence.
Just a guess.

His contract doesn't count if he goes back to the O.

Agents will still talk to the media to disseminate their message.

I wonder what his bonus structure is. nylander's isn't that crazy iirc, less than mil potential.

top 5 picks have bonus structures. Nylander was drafted 8th so he doesn't get those bonuses.

 

[Punch Drunk Loov]

I can't wait for a Marner/Nylander combo

Bonuses are explained here if interested.

I was sure that this guy was going to hold out

Same. Providing they progress as expected and don't get any major injuries, they're going to be a super-skilled duo.
I'm likely in the minority here, but I don't think Marner (loved the pick) has usurped Willy as top prospect. That's not a knock on Mitch but a testament on how nicely Willy has progress/beefed up.

I know how they work, but thanks. I'm wondering about Marner's specific details. Freidman says he got schedule a, but not which or how much, and no mention of schedule B.

There's like 2 million of wiggle room there. Nylander got about 800k, Bailey 400k.
