If Marner wants an 8 year deal you can bet he's asking for 15... You could probably get him at 12.5 for 5 tho....

I'm sure there are plenty of teams fine with 12.5 years, but not for 4 first round picks....

A trade makes way more sense if Nylander insists on a 12.5 deal x5 and Dubas refuses.... So he hold out, or gets trade or Leafs trade Nylander and caves and gives him his 8 year 15 dollar deal...

Of course the Leafs wouldn't even be in this position had they NOT signed Tavares, because when they did that they basically said "oh well lets make a run down" and worry about the future of the team later, and that had to have rubbed Marner and Nylander the wrong way thinking they were going to get paid if they performed and progressed to their abilities... Of course they did, Marner was arguably the best player on the team, yet he should take a "home town discount" really?.... What happens if he signs an 8 year 12 per deal and in year 3 he has a career ending knee injury??? he wants security and I cant blame him, he is also smart enough to know that in 5 years he will absolutely be worth 15, so Marner isn't being greedy - he's being smart and looking out for his own families best interests.... He know what he's worth now and he knows what he's worth in the future......

If Leafs fans want to blame anyone blame Shanahan and Dubas - NOT Marner...

This reminds me of the Roenick situation 25 years ago with the Hawks where Roenick wanted a fair deal, he was low-balled and the Hawks traded him where he promptly got the contract he wanted with Phoenix (now Arizona)....

Another way to put it would be Marner will sign with the Leafs, and signing Tavares was awesome.

Moral of the story... Don't sign great talent to a contract.

Chicago will be shyte for years, they had a good run, now they can crap the bed while those untradeable contracts expire. Vancouver has $40 Million in pure garbage on their payroll, Buffalo after 8 straight lottery picks, the last 7 all in the top eight, look to be better, what to do with that turd sandwich Oposko that is eating up $6 million which will be needed to pay picks coming off entry level deals. Keep trolling.

No he isn't. You're exaggerating.

First you piss and moan at anyone that complains about Marner even though he isn't signed yet, then you take stupid cheap shots at Nylander that aren't even true. The softest in the league? What possible proof do you have to back up such an absolute statement? What a load of dog poop!

Stop being such a (frank)ing hypocrite.

I thought we were supposed to trade "Marner's RFA rights" for Alex Nylander.

Trolls/Haters: Stoopid Laffs fans — Tavares isn’t signing there. Good free agents never go to Toronto.

Leafs: sign Tavares to fair market deal, adding one of the best players to reach free agency in last decade, only giving up cap space they used to spend on guys like David Wendelson.

Tavares: scores 47 Goals.

Trolls/Haters: Stoopid Laffs fans — never should have signed Tavares. Now no space for Marner. 1967 lols.

According to Laura Secord on Ek's blog, Rantanen is Bowman's target, and Chicago will give Colorado Anisimov, Saad and Seabrook for 3 unprotected firsts plus Rantanen. They don't want to get rid of any of their great young core is what I believe he said.
