I think he is worth it, the problem is the market has been set with comparables in 9-9.5 range for players like Kane, Kucherov, Aho etc..

To get a deal done I agree.

He’d be a bit overpaid but at least by the time year 5 and 6 comes around it’ll be normal.

It’s just mind boggling that he’s holding out for more. If he’s stuck on 11 million he is getting traded.

I didn’t do anything

Ahjay PMed me saying that he was banned for a comment regarding the timeline of some releases or something like that.

You can't joke about time travel.

Not on this site.

500k more and it's a done deal!

I initially predicted 10.815.

Makes me cringe

Leafs want him at 6+ years, Mitch wants 5. Leafs can't have him and AM hit FA at the same time. Mitch says, that's your problem, not mine. This is literally the issue.

On one hand 8 x 10 would look pedestrian for a top 5 winger in 5 years, so I can see what MM is saying. Leafs need him to make that because they have given the big bucks away already.

Trade Nylander and end this dumbness.

Delete your account and end this dumbness

How I imagine the negotiations will play out.

Mitch: Pay me, b!tch.

Dubas: Please don’t go to Zurich, that would make me look bad.

Mitch: Pay me, b!tch.

Dubas: Ok.

I know. Far from ideal.

But in 5 years, you'd hate yourself for trading Marner over a 500k difference.

11 mil puts you in the 8 year range. really only going to be 3, 6 or 8

I guess 1 or 2 but not likely imo

500k? I think he’s only worth 9.5

10 million is the 500k overpay for me which is fine if it gets a deal done.

They’d get something really good for him. Overpaying him by 1.5 million is poop.

This would be the best option for everyone.

Nylander + Bracco for RNH + Puljujarvi + 2nd.

7 x 10.5/6x10 is as high as I want to go. And that’s pushing it.

Yeah, but you’re not very bright..

No offence...

Marner will sign 7-10 days into camp- 6 years 63M

As a fan of a team that was run by Peter Chiarelli, please let me advise you that you’d rather have the 1,000,000 overpayment, than trading a young star for Loui (frank)ing Eriksson or Adam Larsson.

New strategy, acquire all the players with ‘ss’ in their last name, wait for a dumb team to hire Chiarelli and strike!

Yeah, but you’re not very bright..

No offence...

I feel like these two sentences cannot go together my man.

Nice call Symba.

I completely agree.

It's not overpaying your superstar players that kills you.

It's overpaying your players that sucks.
