Speculation: Marner blocked a trade to Carolina for Rantanen

...that's not splitting hairs, that's facts, plain and simple...if someone has never hit 100 points in a Season, referring to them as a "100-point Player" is incorrect...

No. Players and their contributions are way beyond finite numbers. You're just talking in the context of hockey pools or something. Jonathan Huberdeau gets to call himself a "115-point player" now?

...facts are facts...a player that has never hit 100 points in a Season should not be called a 100-point player...if that fact eludes you, oh well...

He'll want Rantanen tax-equivalent money.

He is going to get it most likely. If he makes it to FA, I am 100% sure Seattle will throw between $12-$13M AAV at him. I doubt he wants to sign here but Seattle needs a game changing player and Marner is certainly that.

Other than Seattle we have the two Florida teams and also Vegas. I can see all of those teams also make roster moves to see if they can accomodate him. If he re-signs in Toronto, it would very likely not be for the most $.

marner refused to extend with leafs
marner refused trade after refusing to extend
marner knows the leafs don't want him
leafs can't pretend they want to keep him
locker room knows he is selfish and sabotaged the team

just seems uncomfortable all around, even without hyperbole

...so he's a 100 point player who's never scored 100 points in a Season...that's Leaf math for ya...

I mean he’s scored 90+ like 3 times including 99. He’s def a top point getter in this league
