Value of: Marner as a UFA

[LuGBuG]

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

Yeah for sure. I’m just saying he holds the cards in the negotiating.

Then he can continue to play for his buddies.

One can only hope

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

I dont think SY would pony up the 15mil aav other GMs will likely offer

 

[Ulysses31]

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

For sure. As a DRW i would be annoyed if Boston, BJs, NYI snagged him BC would be 1 less playoff spot availble.

Honeslty wouldnt b shocked if leafs become a bubble team if they lose marner.

Boston is saving it for Eichel in summer 2026.

I have a big all sales final/ buyer beware because he has done littke without AM or JT at center

I have the same concern withRatanan

did he buy that bear dinner at least?

 

[Ulysses31]

That he turned the offer down? This is what he said yesterday:

been saying this for months, marner aint gonna accept no chump change

 

[The don godfather]

I'm predicting marner 8 times 13 million in beantown. Donny wants to strengthen the wings big time.

 

[Leaf Fans]

Was he offered anything?

So he will take a discount to go to a rebuilding team? Doubtful.

 

[HockeyVirus]

Best case scenario for Marner and new team is a team rebuilding or exiting a rebuild where the goal is playoffs. Marner is an elite superstar and that shit is a piece of cake for him.

No team should be signing him to be the guy and expect him to do it when it counts

He didn't turn it down, he wasn't willing to negotiate. Big difference. Marner won't get less than. 12M on the market, but if he wants to sign with an already established good team he will have to sign for less than what he could make elsewhere

 

[serp]

Minnesota Wild seem like a good guess. The it's the kind of splash Craig Leopold said he would do. I can also see it working out as well as the Suter/Parise one did. Pretty meh.

Lol. No way he accepts 12 unless its something crazy like florida. The bare min he will take is 14×7

 

[serp]

Lol. No way he accepts 12 unless its something crazy like florida. The bare min he will take is 14×7

He's going to get big offers in UFA but purely from the value point he should not get a dime more than Rantanen and no don't care if Dallas is a no state tax team.

...the Leafs offered him 13.5 million a year and he turned it down. Saying you don't want to negotiate when you get offered a contract extension is in fact turning the offer down lol crazy idea I know.

He should absolutely go to the Hawks, Blue jackets, something like that. Zero pressure, 0 expectations, he can collect his mega paycheck while not having to worry about performing in the playoffs. Completely ideal scenario imo

he wants to earn more than matthews, least for a couple years IMO

To sign with Utah sure, I think he'd take 12.5 to go to LA

No they didn't, did you read?

 

[TheBeastCoast]

No they didn't, did you read?

Yes. The Leafs had an offer of 13.5/8 on the table for Marner and he didn't want it.

No that's not what was said at all.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Okay.

 

[Wildcarder]

If he leaves Toronto he wants to go somewhere where he can win and doesn't have the demons that Toronto does.

I can't see him going to another pressure cooker market like Vancouver or Montreal.

Colorado or Carolina are my guesses. Maybe Boston, NYR cap space depending?
