I can't wait till there are zero offersheets so I can laugh at the media.

Pay it forward


- Garnie

😁😁

If they’re not willing to pay up for Aho then no chance they’d want Marner and what he’s asking. Marner and Aho are pretty comparable, adding Pesce is probably too much. This next week is going to be a poop show

Fair point, I'll just have to accept losing Zaitsev and Brown for Aho.

It goes up an average of 2 million every year.
- JohnFergusonJr

It does, although last year it went up $4.5m. Since the last lockout, the average has been 4.0%. This year the projection had been 4.4%, but it was reduced to 2.5% to help accommodate escrow concerns.

The thing is that it really fluctuates.

7.3%
3.5%
2.2%
2.7%
6.0%
2.5% <-- This year.

Lol

You win the internet. Well done my friend


Edit: This may be a pretty stiff ban so...go leafs go!

Dubas: Hey Mitch, let's sort this out. You're a hometown boy and you want to be a Leaf. What say you take $10mm X 8 years and we'll make sure you earn $2mm to $3mm a year as well. That's between $96mm and $104mm for 8 years. What do you think?

Mitch: That's not enough.

Dubas: oh

When can teams start interviewing Ufa's. If I was the Leafs Brass I'd throw the media some bones and make up some poop that there going hard at Panarin. Stir the pot a bit.
- Buck Norris

Was reminded last night that Panarin is starting at $12m.

Leafs to dish out 47 mil ish come July 1st.

Another reason Marner will (should) sign with the Leafs and not do something stupid, like signing an offer-sheet.

Very few teams can hand you 90 some-odd % of your money up front and at the beginning of every season.

Exactly. And yet we have to hear about "Taxes" all the time. These signing bonuses make you more $ than in tax free states. It's a big Leaf advantage. And that's without mentioning endorsements.

Marner in a new commercial every week. The kid is raking in Toronto. With that much money on the table + all the side gigs... I'm not sure what there is for him to (frank) around with. Just put pen to paper ffs.

Its the agents, will drag it out and try to squeeze as much as they can.

We still have to get to the Marner might go play in the KHL part of the negotiations

If he mentions the KHL, I am taking offers from other teams.

Wonder how long Hoho gets off this time.

"Taxes" are such a myth only used in the NHL.
