Vegas sets sights on Marner. (E4)
The Mitch Marner Saga will not go away this summer and we will continue to track it here. I have written previously that Utah and Vegas both have intentions to go in on Marner and are working trade options…stay tuned. |

Anyone else notice that the Leafs team never said Marner is on the block. All this talk is stupid leaf fans and the Elliote Friedmans of the world causing drama for clicks and a career. - Leniwm1
I think Friedman has been saying he's not getting traded. Frank SeraSpaghetti is the guy whose been adamant that he's on the way out. |

Friedman has repeatedly said it would require a team approaching TOR with a package first and then asking Marner to waive. Not the other way around with shopping him. |

Can anyone propose one plausible trade with Vegas? They have no cap space. So what contracts go the other way to make this work for Vegas? Pay attention to how many Vegas players have NMCs and NTCs. Makes no sense to me. But I have no Leafs sources. |

Because apparently the golden showers have an endless supply of assets and cap space. Enough 🙄 |

I don't understand the obsession with trading Marner. Extend him, Tavares' contract comes off the books at the end of the season freeing up $11 million. Core 4 becomes Core 3 and the Leafs can focus on filling out the team. |

yeah, that's another name the Leafs go by. |

Yea the Bell and Rogers paid talking heads are the only ones pushing the narrative of a Marner trade. Resign the guy. One…maybe 2 more years of pain. figure out Tavares next off season. |

Absolutely. You take Leon for MM money every time!!! Makes NO sense to pay MM if you can get Dry for that!!! |

Nobody can say anything for sure!! If MM wants to take a haircut then the Leafs have a different view than if he want AM34 money. If the Leafs want to keep him and another team offer an outrageous package and MM wants out, he goes! Nobody knows the situation, not even the Leafs, until it presents itself. Anything is possible, until it isn’t. |

Impossible to predict. Anything can happen. Prospects, picks, 3rd team involvement, salary retained, NTC waived. Bottom line, if all involved want it to happen or stumble upon something that works for everyone, they will find a way. |

You can get much better value for the $13mil MM will want. Playoff performers. MM has zero grit for playoffs, zero. You can’t win in playoffs with 3 guys making $38mil and zero grit between them. |

Lest we forget that Bell and Rogers OWN the Leafs.
It would be idiotic re-signing Marner to a deal worth more than he's already making. If they can't orchestrate a trade (nigh-impossible at this point), they should absolutely let him walk and see if they can entice Drysaddle or Rants - read: guys who are actually better players than Mitch AND have had significant playoff performances. |

there's so much "what if" commentary going on around Marner.
I think it is pretty simple. Marner's history has been to ask for "more contract" - don't expect that to change. The only meaningful comparison for Marner is Kucherov - who makes currently 1.5 less. The idea of Marner asking for meaningful raise is ridiculous. He hasn't hit 100 points consistently - and the powerplay which he is the quarterback icraps the bed down every stretch and disappears in the playoffs.
resign Marner - sure if he take the same or less with TERM
resign Marner - not with a raise - just because Tavares 11M is coming off the books doesn't mean you GIVE Marner a bunch more - he hasn't shown that he can earn it. All the local boy nonsense can be ignored. Marner hasn't earned more than Kucherov. Kucherov has won cups, quarterbacks the powerplay and makes those around him better - and Kucherov brings it in the playoffs.
From Carolina - Necas (sign and trade 7.6M (Slavkofsky money), Comtois + 2nd + 3rd Picks -> Marner + Robertson
From Utah - Maveric Lamoureux, Logan Cooley, Lawson Crouse & Shea Webber's contract(LITR) -> Marner + Llilegren
or
From Chicago - Vlasic, Bertuzzi & 1st
not that I think any of these are likely to happen - but rather to focus the dicsussion on Marner's real value. If he wants a big raise in his next contract - the question is why.. It isn't that the Leafs would be risking a 10.6M$ walking into FreeAgency, its that they are risking locking him up for 12M for a bunch of years - is he going to get better?

That’s exactly my point. The parent company is using their media platforms (TSN and The a Score/Sportnet) to put out stories advocating why MM should go….meanwhile the GM of the TML who is also an employee of this parent company is not necessarily saying the same thing. It’s such a convoluted poop show of mixed messaging right now. |
