Salary Cap: Mitch Marner Contract Discussion Part IX | OS courting period begins

[56 Years No Cup]

Marner isn't the team sorry.

When you have Matthews, Tavares, Nylander, Kadri, Johnsson, Kapanen, Hyman, Moore at the NHL level already. Losing a Marner upfront will be a loss don't get me wrong, but it will not damage the team as much as everyone is thinking. Signing him to a contract that will cripple the team moving forward is what will damage the team.

If he feels he is worth more then playing with a group of previously mentioned players, all the power to him. To me its not the end of the world.

I see Marner as the object of skill he plays with. Does he succeed as much as he did with Tavares next season playing with Carolina, or NYI, or Buffalo? I don't think so. I really don't. Put him on the first line of a one line team. He gets shut down, and rather easily. That's my take.

He makes the Leafs gifted beyond imagination, don't get me wrong. But I think he has more help then people give the team credit for.

He is not an 11 million dollar player. Sorry he is not.

I never said he was an 11 million dollar player. What I did say was I don't want 4 draft picks because the chances of getting another Mitch is remote. If he's going to continue to be unrealistic in his demands and in the rare chance he gets an offer sheet I'm negotiating with the offering team to see what I can get off their roster.

They are not the only target.....but how much do you hear about Point, or Rattanen compared to Marner (and AJ & Kap prior to last weekend)

Exactly, this is one of those Toronto media things, Trying to generate as many clicks as possible.

Do you honestly think teams wouldn't prefer Point ? and you think that Tampa isn't close to the Cap with more RFAs next year as well ?

Offersheeting Point makes way more sense then Marner, but all we hear about is Marner.

Where abouts is that being reported?

Where's the link?

Where was this from?

It's imagined.

His butt? I'm not seeing on any of the more mainstream outlets e.g., TSN, etc.

Things are going to get really scary in 2022 when we need to resign Rielly.

The trajectory hes going at, he could easily get a 8-9+ million dollar deal.

Matthews/Marner/Tavares/Rielly is going to cost us close to like 45 million in cap space



Cap better go up a decent amout or our roster will be ridiculously top heavy.

8-9?

Try 11-12 lol.

Point doesn't have a Dreger

The picks have more value in trade than in development anyways (as of RFA and UFA contracts harmonizing in value).

Idiots like that should be banned

.

Try 12. He's going to outperform one-foot Erik

 

[weems]

If rielly replicates last season, he'll use EK as a comparable. Today I would pay rielly more than EK. In three years, that number could easily be $14M per.

Didnt you tell us forever that Rielly wasnt that great?
