Oh my

 

[Kegsey]

Does he even consider that? What if he got hurt?

 

[Hammettf2b]

Is that something he would be interested in?

 

[SpezDispenser]

Does he even consider that? What if he got hurt?

Yeah. The answer is no. That was easy.

 

[TLEH]

Can't see him taking that deal either lol. & all these deals that "won't look bad when the cap goes up" all end up still being high because the cap doesn't go up all that much. It never does

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

This is low key just 100% speculation.

 

[Dickie Dunn]

Why bother?

 

[Nervousbreakdown]

As someone who bet Marners cap hit would be under 9 this would be amazing.

 

[Liferleafer]

Yeah. The answer is no. That was easy.

Sure...Dubas just pulled that out of his ass.

Do people really think that if this is a possibility Dubas and Marnee's camp haven't discussed it?

 

[bigdog16]

Why on earth would Marner do that haha. Thats horrible

 

[Ciao]

I wouldn't mind that as a Leafs fan.

If in two years he's worth more, then pay him, but a lot can happen between now and then.

If he doesn't want long, and he doesn't want short, then what does he want?

 

[NewLife]

Of course he's gonna be pissed if they offer him a bridge deal.

 

[SpezDispenser]

Sure...Dubas just pulled that out of his ass.

Yeah, they discussed it. The leafs asked and Marner said no. End of discussion

 

[Jozay]

Cant see why Marner would do that.

 

[CupInSIX]

Dude they can totally front load it too

Ttee Fiddy?

A bridge would be at a higher salary, not lower.

Long gone are the days where PK Subban was taking a 2 year bridge and winning the Norris to get his payday.

Marner would get 12M per on a bridge. The term is where the discount would come in to lower the average.

That, my friend, is call the middle.

 

[Ciao]

Ttee Fiddy?

I'm not following you here.

 

[Soundwave]

I don't really think it would even be that smart, because in 2 years, he could command 13-14 million, maybe more and then you're going to wish you had just signed him at 10.8-11.

Give him his 11 million and get it over with. He's not going to take vastly less than Matthews and that whole "well you're a winger so you should just take a lot less" doesn't really fly, Ovechkin got top end money straight away, Patrick Kane never took less than Jonathan Toews.

 

[SpezDispenser]

Cleaning the ****ters in the office when you heard the offer?

It doesnt even take the smarts of a crapper cleaner to realize this ain't going nowhere.

 

[Liferleafer]

I'm not following you here.

Just a little humor injected into a thread that's sure to become a troll filled shit show.

come on

Not usually.

He's a non-arbitration-eligible RFA. Usually those years are less expensive because the player's bargaining rights are more restricted, and the UFA years that follow cost more.
