Doubt Marner is signing an offer sheet.
NYI has Lou whom apparently Marner holds a grudge against for not giving him rookie bonuses
After that you have NJD - Okay, Hughes and Hishier, some appeal. Subban with a potential bum back, Hall maybe leaving. No goalie. Plus...it's New Jersey. I'd rather live in Toronto than New Jersey.
Am I missing anyone else that could OS?
Habs kinda blew their load with Chiarot today and the rest of the cap space will be eaten up by their own RFAs.
I'll roll the dice with four prospects. Offer him what they offered bread. If Isles get him, great. If Toronto matches, they have defense trouble for years.
I don't think Marner is leaving, he's just waiting for another team to force Toronto's hand.
whoops, thought I was in Isles forum, I'll leave it since it's not trolling
Saw this. Getting a bit worried.
Colorado...
If the money is right, I bet he'd sign in a New York Minute.Marner is reportedly slighted by the rookie contract negotiation, and being sent back to junior after being drafted, and you think he's going to sign with the General Manager who did those things?
Some New York logic right there
Be careful what you wish for...Please bring the offer sheet!
New Jersey has been largely speculated as a team that could offer sheet someone.
They have no one major to sign other than Will Butcher, and they have 20M in cap room. They could easily give mitch 12M and fill out their roster.
Honestly, I'd much prefer get an offer sheet, than this drag out to training camp.
If it turns out we have no other option and the gun was to my head I would choose the trade route. At least that opens the possibility of getting a 1st rounder or two in the next couple of drafts AND a considerable haul of a player or players that can put us over the top right now. And it had better be a high end defenseman and a middle six scoring forward coming back to make it worthwhile.
Rantanen will not be paid more than Marner. It makes zero sense.If you're Colorado, you 1. Need to give Marner an offer big enough that leafs wont match and 2. Will have to pay Rantanen more than that.
They have a lot of cap, but I dont think its happening from Colorado.
NJD seem like a fit.

He'll certainly be asking for more, or at least the same if the Avs offer sheet marner.Rantanen will not be paid more than Marner. It makes zero sense.
He probably deserves about the same.He'll certainly be asking for more, or at least the same if the Avs offer sheet marner.
Cap friendly is accurate. Then add in 5.3 for Horton. Falls very short by a couple million for Marner.Someone posted a twitter post that said they actually have somewhere around $11.6 left.
Not sure how you get to the 11.6 but that was what it said.
I think your Habs should give Marner an Offer (sheet) :
4 years at $8,118,640.99.
For the cost of a 1st, a 2nd and a 3rd, you will get one of the League's best winger for 4 years. Marner wants to be a UFA so he might just accept it.
My guess is DevilsI'm sure there's plenty of interest to offer sheet Marner and Point.
