Value of: Marner as a UFA

[goonybird]

he could comfortably fetch $11-12M

 

[Seras]

The speculation is insane, he is playing through his contract but he is betting on himself before signing his next deal.

Takes guts to do that, could lower his value by playing poorly or god forbid he gets injured.

I'm guessing he is a leaf for the future and nothing he's done so far makes me think otherwise.

 

[pucksindeep92]

I’d love him for 12, but he’s getting 13.5 if he leaves.

...if Toronto bags in the 1st Round and Marner is his usual disappearing self, he won't get Draisaitl money...

I can’t understand how 50 points in 57 games in his career is disappearing. . And I’m no Leaf fan but.

...watch the games; his play is all perimeter...he's not "stepping up his game" in the Big moments...

 

[Mr Nogatco]

Carolina will.

Carolina always a bridesmaid never a bride

Check out the game 5 6 7 splits

Marner cock blocking the Leafs of a trade for Rantanen and then walking to UFA would be such a beautiful thing

 

[The don godfather]

Bruins have tons of cap space and need scoring I see the fit.

 

[wunderpanda]

what do you think the odds are he re-signs in Toronto? Sounds like you’re bullish he hits FA

seems like a low chance because the leafs tried to trade him for rantanen is all.

Sounds like Carolina asked and Toronto checked with Mitch. Prob knew he would say no but this gives them a little leverage in negotiations

leverage could go either way. he said no to a trade but can just wait to be free agent. do the leafs expect a discount, does marner expect the same deal rantanen was offered, are the leafs willing to lose him for nothing.

Watch Vegas do something historic here.

Toronto has zero leverage. Mitch can do whatever he wants now.

As an Islanders fan I would be willing to trade either our pick this year(assuming it's not top 10) or the lesser of ours our Colorado's pick next year if Toronto was willing to do a sign and trade(of coarse Marner would have to agree first). If a first rounder could give us an edge over other team(ie the 8th year) it would be well worth it

Not sure Leafs would do it though because if Islanders are offering more over 8 years it ruins their leverage they have over resigning him

 

[boredmale]

Mitch can do whatever he wants now.

I don't think Marner really wants to leave Toronto for say....Columbus like he threatened as an RFA

Toronto should hold firm and offer him 12.5-12.75 x 8

If he doesn't like it there are a lot of good young UFAs on the market and we can take his salary and sign a couple of them

 

[TheDoldrums]

Being the only team able to offer 8 years is indeed leverage.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

I think he goes to Detroit. They have been looking for an impact winger.

 

[landy]

Marner goes to Carolina for $15M in 2025
McDavid goes to Toronto for $20M in 2026

 

[boredmale]

McDavid goes to Toronto for $20M in 2026

Somebody needs to sneak into his parents house and look at all their photo books to see if they have any pictures of him wearing Leafs' pajamas.

Its happening. No chance the league nor McDavid allow him to waste away in Edmonton for his whole career.

TOR, LA, or NYC are real opportunities for the league to promote the league more.

 

[Seras]

Marner ain't going nowhere

 

[TheBigLetowski]

As much as I'd like Marner to sign w/Carolina, Toronto gives him the 8th year if he signs before July 1, right?

Unless someone offers him 15+mil x 7, he leaves money on the table. Then he can continue to play for his hometown team and his buddies.
