Jonnsonn and Kap both gave the leafs a bit of a discount.

Your turn Mitch.

Jeremy Bracco and Justin Holl for Colin Miller.
- The Shrike

Actually one of Colin or Kevan would be a good add. Kevan is a tough stay at home guy we could really use in place of 51.

thinking about this a bit more, it is not very likely any GM in league is offering Marner an offersheet, just to facilitate him to get a 10.5mln/5y deal by leafs.

the only real way for an offersheet would be to offer him 13-14mln on a one year deal, with the understanding that a 11.5mln AAV/ 8y deal will be offered by the team in Jan/Feb 2020 for Marner to sign.
NYR are in a position to make a 13-14mln 1y offer - in particular if they indeed trade a few of their other players (Vesey and Kreider rumoured to be gone).

No way Leafs are matching a 14mln 1y deal.

That would be four 1st round picks, plus they'd have a good shot at signing him next July 1st. I like it.

Perhaps you should have proof read that a tad before posting. Serious much?

aim higher

That turd will get flushed soon too.
- Zezel

Think so too. Probably have to wait for July 1 bonus and for a few teams to miss on the UFA market. Plus a few better d'men on the market to move first (Barrie).

Leafs with about 5 Milly to spend on 2 d'men if they move him.

Maybe Miller plus old man Hainsey ...something like that.

Getting rid of Marleau was good for here and now. 1st rnd picks going out the window left and right will eventually haunt the leafs. Why didnt they just buy him out?

I agree, for me he's meh, for $7 X 8

AAV will be a shade under $6M.

Sure when they sucked

We should not confuse the player (misinformed as he may be) with his idiot agent.
- winsix

why are the nylander wives criticizing marner so much early on, while defending nylander all through his hold-out??

- winsix

please explain to me why any team would offer marner a 10.5mln / 5y deal - they know leafs will match it.

Jonnsonn and Kap both gave the leafs a bit of a discount.

Your turn Mitch.
- Santo_44

Johnsson gave a discount??
he is a 24y old player that had 43 points on Matthews line and on PP, and it took him until he was 24y to actually make NHL.
24y is the age most players in NHL are at their peak (points production concerned).
it is a significant overpayment on a 4y deal for Johnsson.

They're giving big $ to non-stars. Mcphee is making a mess.
- RogerRoeper

I think McCrimmon is the GM now? Or is he taking over at the start of the season?

I'm not criticizing Marner at all, and I'm Nylander's Number One Fan.

Played a quarter of the season on the 4th line. Had he played up in the lineup longer, he'd have had a lot more points.

Great deal.

I don't think A Marner trade is completely out of this world.

I think there are going to be a few RFA's getting shopped here.

4th highest P/60 the last 4 months of the season

- Zezel

yeah not all of them, but most.
it's not even 1st of July and Marner is getting more criticism by Leafs fans for not signing than Nylander 30th of November...
I think it's a very dirty tactic by Dubas saying that 'we cannot do anything until Marner signs' - implicitly putting the blame on Marner not signing on the player.
Leafs should give marner a 11.616mln/8y deal and very likely he'll sign it.

also, playing on Matthews line those last 4 months, and already 24y old.
also, invisible during the playoffs.

Look at that. A player sacrificing money for term because he really wants to be there. And agent doing his job and listening to his client.

Notes should be taken!

I'm gonna have to disagree and say that Marner resigning is an adamantium lock but I have wrong at least two or three times. Maybe two and a half.

Give it a rest man.

I just highly disagree with your stance on a lot of subjects. I am just going to ignore you for now.
