TSN: Marner’s Agent: UPDATE: No contract talks until after the season.

I don't think Mitch is the type guy to sit out. If he does it'll be for 1-2 weeks tops.

His agent will try to play hard ball with us, but the difference is unlike Willy, Mitch will step in at some point after the negotiations hit a standstill and just end it himself so he can get back on the ice again.

I listened to his agent on a podcast today and he mentioned that Mitch went against his wishes and didn't fight for the highest bonus package on his ELC, but rather took what the team gave him. That's a good sign for me, combine that with the fact he's from here and grew up in a middle class family, I don't think the negotiations will be nearly as difficult as Nylander's.

His agent will be after $10-11m, but I think Mitch will step in after while and take $9m.

I might be wrong, but I don't this contract negotiation will follow the same path as Willy's.

Yes, I wonder if they'll announce the signing of the Big Three today? Same kind of thinking.

Maybe if an old GM (Lou) had thought Nylander was a priority too he could have signed him July 2017.

I do wonder if Lou's handling of Nylander's rookie year hurts us now.
