Dreger: Teams are 100% preparing to offer-sheet Mitch Marner (Marner doesn’t see it getting there) pt2

[Rants Mulliniks]

Well, logic wants those guys will no go UFA and will re-sign in Toronto for their #3 contracts.

I don't even understand this sentence.

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

Well, logic wants those guys will no go UFA and will re-sign in Toronto for their #3 contracts.

Just like Tavares re-signed with the Islanders.

 

[Jozay]

Just like Tavares re-signed with the Islanders.

Leafs are a good org + they'll be a competitive team, so....

 

[powerstuck]

Just like Tavares re-signed with the Islanders.

Not quite like that.

You are really comparing THE TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS with poor NYIslanders.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

I'm not even sure what the point would be in inflating the market. The best case scenario for other teams is that the Leafs overpay. Okay great, they're in cap trouble. What happens when I have to sign my young superstar? His agent will compare me to Marner which means I should a similar contract. You kinda shoot yourself in the foot with this hypothetical.

Yup....which is why I find it odd everyone seems to be frothing at the mouth at the possibility of Marner setting a new standard for contracts around the league lol it will be felt around the league and if you are cheering it on now don't come crying when it is time to sign up your young stars.

 

[Rants Mulliniks]

Who wouldn't want a team that's almost all 28+?

 

[varano]

LOLOLOL I couldn't help but laugh at whatever the hell this is

 

[Grimmas]

He would be an idiot not to sign one. You have no idea what could happen in regards to health as an athlete. If someone comes in with an offer that big there’s not a chance in hell he isn’t signing.

Just like Tavares is an idiot for not taking San Jose's 13 million offer?

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

Just like Tavares is an idiot for not taking San Jose's 13 million offer?

Yes ???

 

[Nervousbreakdown]

I don't even understand this sentence.

I've tried to figure it out for 20 minutes now. Its amazing.

 

[Goldenhands]

Spoiler alert...You will be extremely disappointed with the ending.

Im sure not so far...

Maple Leafs have lowballed Mitch Marner in contract talks, agent says | The Star

“That’s probably the best contract in the National Hockey League,” said Darren Ferris, the agent whose client list includes Maple Leafs star Mitch Marner. “There’s no team-friendly discount there”

“So far they’ve been trying to lowball (Marner),” Ferris said. “That’s the reason we’ve come to this point.”

“Nobody else is taking a discount. And now you’re asking (Marner) to take one again? It’s nonsense,” Ferris said. “Mitch already did them a favour on the entry-level deal.”

I .. what? I dont speak 'confusing sentence.' Care to translate?

LOLOLOL I couldn't help but laugh at whatever the hell this is

Doesnt really seem that complicated tbh, I'm assuming he is a native French speaker...

Logic (n) is performing the action to want (v) = 'logically [we] expect/want', since logic must be applied by a person or in this case a fanbase (I doubt he's greek). "Will no[t] go" is his way of trying to form a future action = to not go (in the future). The rest is extremely straight forward assuming you understand that their ELC was their first contract.

In proper English, his response to someone who questioned how the Leafs are locked up for 10 years on a contract for 5 or 6:

Well, [logically we believe] that those guys will not go to UFA (status) and instead will sign in Toronto on their 3rd contract (ELC + this contract + UFA contract). [Context added - Therefore the Leafs are theoretically in for more than 5 years, unless you believe they want to let Marner and Matthew's walk without trying to resign them as UFA's?]

Just take each part of the sentence and translate it individually. That's generally how non-native speakers form a sentence. Hes also not that wrong, assuming you get past his poor grammar and try to have a discussion rather than make fun of him. But who knows

 

[leaffaninvancouver]

It’s amazing that this is on its second thread already. He’s more or less said he’s not signing an offer sheet.

Thats what I read as well. Not really that hard to figure out.

I wasn't making fun of him I literally had no jeezlus idea what he was trying to say. Better yet, I am bilingual, wife and kid are Francophones and I live in a bilingual province and I have never seen a sentence butchered like that. From one word to the next there was almost zero connection.

Might be because I'm a "Native French speaker", but I understood him perfectly...

 

[JetsHomer]

How stupid would you have to be to not understand that incredibly easy sentence lol

Change the word 'wants' to 'says'

 

[Hischier and Hughes]

Leafs are a good org + they'll be a competitive team, so....

How exactly is the team with the longest cup drought a better organization then the Islanders who have won four since?

 

[Jozay]

How exactly is the team with the longest cup drought a better organization then the Islanders who have won four since?

By maybe realizing the year is 2019.

 

[TheDoldrums]

How exactly is the team with the longest cup drought a better organization then the Islanders who have won four since?

How exactly are the Predators a better organization than the Oilers? Sound logic at work here.

 

[Hischier and Hughes]

By maybe realizing the year is 2019.

How exactly are the Predators a better organization than the Oilers? Sound logic at work here.

And yet the Maple Leafs have as much playoff success as the Islanders in this decade

so exactly what was your context if not previous history?

 

[yegoldboysclub]

Marner is a great player, no doubt. But do I don't see an offer sheet coming. Why would a team give him 11-12 million and give up 4 draft picks.

 

[82Ninety42011]

Not quite like that.

You are really comparing THE TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS with poor NYIslanders.

You mean the same poor Islanders that had 4 Cups in a row since long after Leafs had their last one? Every organization has peaks and valleys. Enjoy your time now Leafs you've seen plenty dark days in past.

 

[leaffaninvancouver]

And yet the Maple Leafs have as much playoff success as the Islanders in this decade

This might shock you but the Leafs we're a really bad team for most of this decade, they aren't anymore though. I highly doubt players care about what happened years before they were even drafted. The goal of the regular season is to make the playoffs and every year Marner has been here the Leafs have done that and look likely to continue to do it. Who care about cups won before most of these players were even born?
