Will Brady Tkachuk hold out for Marner money now that someone leaked the contract negotiation with the Sens?
- dmnted


No one is giving Tkachuk Marner $$$.

The guy has proven to be a 55ish point player. You get a little extra for potential, and you get extra for being an bumhole.

But not 4 million extra.

I think 8M for him is too much.

Tkachuk's offensive potential isn't much more than he's already showing.

I do love what he brings to a team, but if you give him 8M, you probably have to give Stutzle 10 in 2 years.

So kind of like if you give Nylander 6.9 million you need to give Marner *checks notes*... 10.9 million the next summer?

Something like that.

Although Nylander is proving to be worth that money imo.

You would be betting that he can get up to 70 ish points a year if you give him 8.

I think 8 x 8 is fair if he can put up 70 points. Players like Tkachuk are rare, so teams are usually willing to pay a premium for them.

Agreed, people need to go look at the other guys making roughly 7 million. Once you do Nylander seems at a bang on price imo.

You want to really troll them and bring AA out of hiding?

Between the playmaking ability of Mitch Marner and the two-way play of William Nylander, the Maple Leafs know their top six – always centered by one of Auston Matthews or John Tavares is going to be tough to match up against for most teams.

Oh he’s allowed to hate his play, I don’t agree with him on most parts but I do find Nylander a little iffy when it comes to physical play.

I think that’s why people either hate Marner or Nylander to be truthful, the wingers on that side aren’t exactly tough, but they still produce

Lol a one line cap hit of $26,596,366

Damn that’s a tad pricey but still not too much worse than a Marner, Matthews and whoever else line lol

My wife was just telling me few minutes ago someone we know isn’t getting vaccinated because they don’t know what they’re putting in their body and they don’t want to develop Down syndrome.
- bryant



ugh... the downs syndrome thing drives me insane. The very doctor who originally reported a link has said he was an idiot, and wrong, but because a porn star repeated it, millions believe it.

Porn stars should avoid referencing the Down syndrome since there’s likely a few people willing to question if they understand what that term actually means

It's fantastic to keep reading all these great articles on Alex Steeves, until you come to the line about how he can't skate at an AHL level.

Damn.

Well at least Wickenheiser knows it and openly admits it and the guy can’t ask for a better skating coach.

If anyone is capable of teaching him it will be her.

But he did get 4 goals in 5 days, that’s not too shabby
