If you have to justify Montreal smoked meat to someone, they simply aren't worth your time.

Man Dreger it a poo poo head.

He has to be working with Marner’s camp, the poop he has been saying is down right silly.

He says the Leafs need to start at 3x11 for a bridge deal

Are you (frank)ed? He’s worth more than two Werenski’s? I don’t get it.

Feschuck and Hot Andi explaining how Dubas is soft and it’s hurting the team on Leafs Lunch today.


They are right.

Yup.

If the Leafs do the same strategy, Marner accepts the one-year qualifying offer, and he's a UFA at the age of 26.

That's not when you want your best players walking away.

Of course, that's exactly what we are doing with Matthews...

- Atomic Wedgie


didnt they buy 1 UFA year on Matthews?

also his salary in the last year is under 8 with most as a SB, the Werenski and Meier deals are the opposite.

so to me, they didnt do that with Matthews.

Well he does appear to be a bit too friendly and diplomatic, which can come off as Soft.

It’s almost as if there are more to negotiations that fans don’t know.

And when some guy posts the new info on twitter we all act as if we knew it the whole time.

Marner need to give 30% of his new contract to Tavares

Very poor trolling skills. He needs to be more like the Habs fans, a least a little subtle about the trolling.

It’s (frank)ed both obviously help each other out but man, I think it’s easy to see JT has done wonders for Marner.

JT is the one who has a history of bringing up value of players not Marner

Does nobody remember Tyler bozak

Yep.

That’s what the radio show said...and we all know radio shows never say things just to get people to talk about the show.

Why would a radio show care about that?

I dunno. I'm no lawyer, but the CBA states that a Qualifying Offer is based on a player's salary, not their AAV. Even if you take the wording that CapFriendly poses:

"100% of the base salary if the base salary is equal to or greater than $1,000,000." which is a paraphrased version of the CBA, and then notice that in year 4 of Meier's contract, it's all $10m in Base Salary.

- Monkeypunk



You could be right, but......

The qualifying offer is calculated from the players base salary (NHL salary minus signing bonus), and at minimum must meet the seasons minimum salary requirements:
110% of the base salary if the base salary is less than or equal to $660,000
105% of the base salary if the base salary is greater than $660,000 or less than $1,000,000. However, this qualifying offer cannot exceed $1,000,000.
100% of the base salary if the base salary is equal to or greater than $1,000,000.
CBA Reference 10.2 (a) (ii)

It is possible that Doug Wilson is a little smarter than we might give him credit for. Meier got a $3.3 Million signing bonus.
