Who, and someone who has signed last year and beyond, has taken bargain deals for their team now that Covid is done?

Nobody in their prime that’s for sure.

Also taxation plays a roll, 53.53% in Toronto and 37% in Florida for instance. Makes a HUGE difference.

Side note - no love for my poetry?

Understanding it's closer to a dirty limerick. lol

Why? Because the Covid lockdown cut down raises that’s why. Now that the cap will be going up 4.5-5% a year the agents will base everything they do off of that.

As I said, they don’t put the team’s cap first, no one cept old boys still willing to play does that.

Marner has a chance to show the city how much he loves it by doing so.

I mean he won't but he has the chance to do so.

I would honestly prefer they let him walk than overpay him - and overpay in both what his value is but also what amount of the cap it eats up for the Leafs - both are important.

One to 'set the tone' and the other to make the team competitive.

Guess we will see how it plays out but overpaying Marner shouldn't even be an option for Tre.

probably fruit loops to fit with your tshirt and the flag on the front of your house

Any Habs Roomers? No

lololo🤣

you b guzzling nuttin honey 3 meals a day lmfaooooooooo 🍆🤣

Could you imagine Mitchy goes full heel:

Denies trade request and walks to free agency only to take a pay cut and play in Boston or Tbay.

Marner will become a top-5 highest paid player in the league.

We may not like it, but search your feelings, you know it's true.

His hat will be swole.

Cap keeps going up and Tavares contract is up after this year. I'm honestly fine with re-signing Marner IF he signs for like 10.5 or 11 over 8 years. Maybe even the identical deal as Nylander. He likely thinks (and would get from another team) more than that though.

His dad would be pretty pissed if he took a pay cut unless it comes with no taxes, unlimited commercial opportunities and some free butt wax.

I'll trade either Biden or Trump for Trudeau.

Not that I like him, I just really don't like the other two fossils.

I'll throw in some alligator steaks and a local ale that tastes like stale ass.

humm... this sounds like human trafficking
are they hand rolled by old looking Cuban ladies?

Give him the same as Willy and they can be the new version of Kane and Towes with 2 stars with the same contract (oh except the 2 Hawks got it after earning it by winning a cup).

Speaking of toews.
3rd line center if cheap?

One was underpaid and one was overpaid. If he honestly wants 12.5 plus you have to let him walk or figure out an amicable trade destination
- PlatosRepucklic

One was only underpaid the final two years of his deal.
His actual per year contract was 7.4 per, the cap was only 6.9 cause he held out.
So he really wasnt "underpaid".

Canada still rated a top country in the world for so many categories the past 8 years.

Then there is the grifter Pierre, all downhill from here.

Whos the 3rd option?
