Tavares literally says nothing about Marner playing for the Leafs this season lol

Truce?
"I think we know how much Mitch loves being here and wants to be a part of it here. There's no doubt in my mind that something will get done here eventually."
These players are also trying to be careful to not trigger the fanatical fans in this fan base ...
Anyone have any insight as to why Marner hooked up with Ferris? He's small-time when compared to the elite agents in the game.

Just a guess, but Ferris started his career about 7 years ago after working with the Orr group, his first big recruitment was Taylor Hall, which would've given him enough cred to impress Paul Marner and bring Mitch into the fold when he was going into the OHL
like I said just a guess

Marner is not only one of the smartest players in the game today but one of the smartest players of all-time.

Nylander will finish within 15 points of Marner this year for 3-5 million dollars less. Hardly a cave
I'll take Marner over Nylander every day of the week.
That could be true but by holding the line on Nylander would have almost certainly would have allowed Dubas to sign Matthews and Marner at cheaper numbers.

Marner for Point ?? The tax savings should make them happy.

What pissed me off the most is we are likely to have a training camp(if it gets to that) clouded by all these contract talks, in a similar way to last year. When we should be thinking about hockey and progressing from the previous year.
I get the whole ordeal in a cap world, But it's annoying.
Last year, the number one thing was this Nylander watch... and it effected the team in some way... not to mention Nylander was basically a nonfactor when he did sign.
Get this done (both of you) and let's get on with the summer.. come into camp with one thing on our mind.
I will say kudos to Dubas and co. For getting deals done to improve the D... even while our big RFA is a stalemate.
Look at Boston and others hesitation to do these things while their own RFAs hold them hostage

I'm sure the shopping has begun, at least a bit. And again, I don't think it would be horrible at all to trade Mitch and balance the lineup more, and have some breathing room

Doesnt sound like a kid that Tavares thinks he carried. Kadri had some interesting comments too.

And where do you play point?
We moving Mattews or Tavares after we get rid of Marner?
Do you think any of the other high profile RFAs are being shopped too? If not why not? Which ones do you think we should be in on, if so?

Not a chance! The table was set with Eichel getting 10M...Buffalo desperate to stay relevant. Drai getting paid was another. The new crop of kids who have won nothing yet will all be paid as well ,so this is the way the salary cap era has evolved. I suspect there may be changes coming to the collective bargaining agreement.

So tired at the ankle biting "nylander is just as good" crowd. Better to stay silent until Nylander accomplishes something fantastic and crow about it then. Right now it is a troll job.
All things equal in contract maybe. Nylander had an off year and started off playing late. Before that Marner was better but not by much. As of next year I agree with the guy you replied too. It may be a 10-15 point spread with a 3 mill gap in price
Compared to most garbage deals lately, Willy looks like a steal

Tavares says nothing.... Or literally says nothing?
Same thing. Choose the one with fewer words.
This generation is aggravating.

Maybe but he already has an uphill battle to live up to it. I figure he needs at least 420 points over 6 and he is behind schedual

I'd be okay with Draisaitl the 50 goal scorer for Marner? Not as pretty as Marner, but knows how to play off a generational talent.
Comparables:
Rantanen lead his team in the playoffs with points, even strength points and tied for lead in goals.
Rantanen 1.18 PPG and scored 31 goals in 74 games.
Colorado has a tonne of cap space.
Retaining on Barrie was inconsequential to their cap situation.
Does Rantanen even get close to 10?
Kucherov should be the standard for wingers who score a 100 points and over 35 goals.
Add cap inflation which was about what 3%?
Goals cost more than assists.
Marner: $9.785 million
