This is fake news. Leaf fans have told us all along Marner is not interested in being anything other than a Leaf.
Correct.This is fake news. Leaf fans have told us all along Marner is not interested in being anything other than a Leaf.
It was a mutual caving and I'm sure that's what will happen here.Not fake news, but a game of chicken to be sure. Marner and his agent know what they’re worth in this market and won’t be nickel and dimed for less.
Dubas caved with Nylander, that won’t have escaped Marner’s notice.

We can and will sign all of them!
The reality is there is ZERO way he signs for less than $10.5 M per year long term. Why would he unless offer sheets are fixed and don’t really happen? AT that price, it’s 2 1sts and a 2nd and a 3rd. Who wouldn’t give up that little for Marner. I wouldn’t even care if lottery protected and it’s not — you are getting a lottery player.
Nylander's ask was above 8 million, according to these same sourcesRespectfully, Dubas caved. Nylander got everything he wanted. However we both agree, this is what will happen here. No way Marner goes elsewhere regardless of cost.
Making an aggressive offer is the last thing the leafs should do. Just let Marner come back down to earth and then start negotiating with him. Remember, Nylander was available to offersheet at the cost of a first, second, and third (an insanely cheap price considering most poeple's opinions of him then) for half a damn year, and not a single team threw one at him.
Marners a franchise player, I wouldn’t even want Nylander on my team for the cost. Totally differentMaking an aggressive offer is the last thing the leafs should do.
