Theyre all adults. Im sure Matthews and Nylander arent gonna get their panties in a bunch over their friend trying to get his fair money.
What's your offersheet to Marner?

Well, for starters, because he threw his friends Matthews and Nylander under the bus. He basically said both players took every cent they could, and I'm sure both players disagree. Also, because presumably now all 3 would be questioned about their thoughts.
Nylander literally held out for money.
Matthews just signed, absolutely the most player friendly deal in the past decade.
These two 'friends' basically threw the ball in Marner's court, telling him to sign for low amount to stay, while they fatten their own pockets.
Not worth considering offersheeting marner since the leafs would no doubt match it. But shouldnt they just pay Mitch the same as Matthews then any potential drama would be wiped out?What's your offersheet to Marner?

Most of what im seeing is that hes worth the same if not more than Auston. Panarin will maybe be a mill cheaper, unless he signs in income taxless florida. (I know horrible grammar). Rantanen is a great comparable, does he have another year on his ELC or no? How long to wait to see the results on his new contract?No, because he has no leverage. If Marner wants Matthews contract, he can sit out. Panarin is going to be cheaper. Point is going to be cheaper. If Rantanen gets less than Matthews, Marner is not getting the same.
Marner doesn't primarily care about answering questions, or angering his GM, his coach, his friends, or his fans. He doesn't care about being a Toronto Maple Leaf... not more than he cares about getting paid, at least.That is fine. We can flip Marner or get 4 1st round picks, and go out and sign another star. Does not bother me.
What will happen is Mitch and his family will have to answer question after question after question because of this, and I am sure AM and Willy didn't appreciate the contract insults.
In my opinion, Toronto needs to be strong and tell Marner that he needs to fire Ferris and apologize for these comments. This is really ugly on all parts and it can break apart a locker room.

GotchaNo, both Rantanen and Point are outscoring Marner and RFA's this year. Point is Marner's closest comparable, Rantanen has significantly more points.
Don't know what to say, I guess that's your opinion.
I understand that you guys don't like the way it's unfolding, but removing your emotions from the equation, tell me why this is Marner's camp's problem? Why should he throw his hands up and accept less than he's worth (by Leafs fans' own admission) because others got to the well first?
And how are lunatics in this thread honestly suggesting that the player should fire his agent for making life difficult for the team, or because he crossed some "line" by telling the truth. Should Marner's camp just sit demurely and hope for a better future while they add extra money on to everyone else's contracts?

Matthews is making 11.6 and Marner is outproducing him.Ask yourself this
Pasta has more points
Point has more points
Kuch has WAY more points
Rantanan has WAY more points
Kane has more points
Wheeler has more points
Pasta is signed for under 7, and Kuch is at 9.5. In what world is Marner worth 11-12, or even 10?
Haha yea I got it, f*** this Ferris guyHaha looked back and realized that could be misinterpreted
To Confirm:
@Heart Eater I agree w you
Ferris - Shut the **** up
When Dubas was asked why Matthews is worth 11.6 he stated he scores goals at an elite, elite level and plays C in the NHL for the Toronto Maple LeafsMatthews is making 11.6 and Marner is outproducing him.

I would venture to say that Dubas has no issue paying him 9m per year, and that is NOT a discount, like AM and Willy who also didn't take one.
And this is business
Well yah...Matthews is being paid as a player that Toronto hopes he can be, and Marner is being told that what he's actually done, isn't as valuable. Dubas picked the wrong hill to die on.
If people think Marner will just take 9m, and not sign an offer sheet for 11-12m, they are delusional.
What is the point of bringing up players who signed these deals years ago? The guy who plays on the same team and is on level with Marner has just signed a huge deal. That's the comparable, not a guy who signed years ago.
one can hopeOh.....damn. Potentially going to get very ugly
There is zero chance Aho comes in under 10 unless he really doesnt give a f*** and the only reason Point would is because its Tampa and he almost needs to to stayMarner has too many comparables to be asking this much.
Leafs just need to wait for Aho & Point, and when they get under 10M, the Leafs offer a similar contract. Slightly less than Point because he's a centre.
