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

[Advanced stats]

If they signed today does Nylander get more than Marner?

Absolutely not.

If Marner signed today he's getting upwards of 7.5. and that would be a steal.

There is a chance he values security over dollars and doesn't want to risk long term injury this season..

 

[CanadasTeam]

Not gonna lie, all these contract talks are starting to make me nervous ...

Not a chance.

 

[Muston Atthews]

Press conference begins with

"BOOM, TOLD YOU WE'D SIGN ALL 3."

Is the BOOM him slapping his hammer on the table for the rest of the league to see?

 

[MyBudJT]

they'll regret it, very good chance he gets $10M x 8 next summer. what if he wins the Art Ross? try $12M.

12M?!? Kucherov just signed at 9.5...

What if? What if? We can’t pay him on what if he hits 90 points what if he doesn’t? We overpaid him. We all are pretty sure he will do it but paying before he does it isn’t saving us money signing now. I don’t see him scoring more than mcdavid or Kucherov this season so don’t really think we need to worry about an art ross

 

[TheDoldrums]

I would think there's very little chance he's signed before the season. Hope I'm wrong though.

 

[Jozay]

I'd offer 7.5-8 x 8 and see if his camp bites.

But id get the nylander deal done first.

On Leafs Lunch and on Overdrive yesterday they were floating the idea that the chances Marner and Matthews receive offer sheets is very real. One of the commentators said that Lou will be one of the GM's in the hunt for one of the two players.

This makes the Nylander deal just that much more important, his cap hit will influence our flexibility to sign M & M.

Quite simply if signing Nylander means we put ourselves at risk to lose one of the M's, I say trade Nylander now and be done with it. Nylander is good but he is complimentary good not line driver good.

 

[Buds17]

Good to hear. It's another important negotiation, and it's still not even the last. Would be great to get it done prior to the start of the season, but that requires some give from both player and team.

 

[moon111]

I have a feeling Marner of the three might be the most eager to take the hometown discount. If they were to actually sign Marner now, he would set the benchmark for the others.

Unless the players agree to actually sign a one year offer sheet it's not an issue.

It's far more likely they'd negotiate a longer term deal with the leafs.

If you run into cap problems, you dont trade your young core players. You trade anyone else.

And what are you trading Nylander for? Anything you trade him for will hopefully be another impact player and will probably cost you the same amount.

Far fetched theory: Dubas and the Marner camp have a deal basically done. Something around 8 x 7.75

Dubas is just waiting for Nylander to sign first so that Willy can't use marners contract as bargaining power.

Than Matthews signs for 11, and "the big 3" are locked up for $25m

Start holding your breath.

Let me guess the commentators that floated that out were gord Miller and Darren dreger?

Miller is pretty stupid about this kind of stuff especially for how arrogantly he behave about it. Dreger has picked that as his topic for the week it seems

 

[Buds17]

If they signed today does Nylander get more than Marner?

Wouldn't think so. Marner can wait to sign, so there still probably has to be some incentive for him not to.

 

[ShaneFalco]

Wait.....I think we need Minus Mitch to weigh in

 

[Shanty]

Jumbo Joe would approve.

 

[ShaneFalco]

All of this makes you realize what a bargain Kadri is

 

[Bluelines]

Yup , I actually got a queasy feeling in my belly when they floated that idea.

 

[PromisedLand]

same here

Yep they were 2 of the commentators talking about it, also Hayes and Noodles were talking about it too.

 

[PromisedLand]

just out of curiosity wondering if 3 different agents are "legally" allowed to talk to each other regarding what are the Leafs offering for each player
???
