I was saying the same last summer. Who the hell lets a NMC kick in two seasons before UFA? The proof is really in the pudding now. He looks like a scared child out there STILL. One of the most cowardly players I have ever seen in my life. Who would actually take such a playoff dud like him on their team for that cap hit??? I have a feeling they just walk away from him after next season. I doubt he waives his NMC. I would let him walk for sure.To me it was clear long ago that Marner is not going to lead them anywhere. Maybe he can be effective somewhere alongside a power forward but Toronto just doesn’t seem to be the place. I’d have moved him before his NMC kicked in.
I don’t know what you do with him. They’re stuck with the NMC so they can’t do anything unless he approves. I don’t see that happening. So now you… re-sign him? And for how much? He’s going to want another NMC on that deal too. Do you let him walk? Barring an improvement in post season play, he represents a real problem.
