[None Shall Pass]

The hilariously predictable Marner-to-Europe reports have finally arrived

 

[SnizzMitch]

Looks like he really wants Matthews money afterall.

 

[inthe6ix]

training, not signing to play the season over there

just another negotiation tactic

 

[Taytro]

Its probably better than not agreeing to practice/train anywhere right? I dont think it implies hes joining the team, just practicing with them.

 

[Hins77]

Never hés gonna play there. Loll. Thats a negociation tactics. What will bring him to play in switzerland? Missing an oppotunity to clear one year of a contract here? If i am dubas i will tell you him. Okay, go play there and maybe you will trade before your 27 years old

The GM would need big grapefruits for that and Dubas does not have those.

Yep, but this thread is like a twilight zone where people don't seem to notice this crucial fact.

Its painfully obvious he won't spend a year playing in Zurich, no ones claiming this.

Exactly, seems more like a fallback plan to stay in shape than a threat of signing a contract to play for a team in Switzerland.

I'm more interested in this insurance thing. So I never knew this, but a player can pay the insurance and still show up to camp?

Dubas doesn't have the nads to do it.

Marner wouldn't even be the best player in the Swiss league.

 

[Isaac Nootin]

I see Mr. loyal leaf is now looking to play in Switzerland because the only team willing to overpay him by 3+ million is the leafs.

You think the Leafs are going to sign him for 13+ million/year? Impressive.

 

[loki2185]

someone needs to start a petition to trade marner . I like the guy but if he is wanting to handcuff the team with a max deal then he can pack his bags and leave. A trade return with a few good players and picks to stock the cupboards would be more benficial then having a player who disappears when the games get tough

The leafs are willing to overpay him by $3 million +????
Who the heck is reporting this and why hasn’t he signed it yet ?

 

[Darren McCord]

What do people think is a fair bridge deal? I think the longer it goes the more likely it ends up a bridge deal.

Not really, it's the same move his agent always tries.

Yeah it's pretty rare tho. I'm pretty sure iginla did it forever ago. Probably harder for a guy coming off his elc tho . What's he insure himself for coming off 200 K a year going to 8 - ?mill Whatever aav

Just like the Laine comments......it’s just negotiation tactics. No more no less

There isn't a team in the league that would trade for a player with Marner's insane demands. The leafs have already offered Marner more than any other team would ever consider. The only team willing to overpay Marner is the Leafs...

 

[TheGroceryStick]

The last thing these guys wanna do is play outside of the NHL.

So that tactic is kinda out the window.

You're going to train? Kinda odd too.... if your worry was injury only, train with NHLers at your camp.

You keep repeating that based on what exactly?

Where are you getting all this?
Are you being serious or are you just one of those guys that goes into all leafs threads and tries to stir the pot?

The only place Marner is worth 10m is in leaf management and Leaf fans delusional world.
