Salary Cap: Marner contract discussion XVIII (continued)

[Legion34]

So what happens if Point is traded to Montreal, Ottawa, Winnipeg ...?

Do they renegotiate?

That’s why virtually all of Tampa was given NTC.

 

[Nineteen67]

What is wrong with our players? Tampa Bay has signed the best goalie in the League for 8 years at 9,5million and the best forward for eight years at 9,5 million. Are their players just more interested in winning as a team than ours are? None of Tampa's top players are making more than this.

Winning or just living in a great area?

Ummmmmmm. Marners dad went on the air and said he should be considered for captain and should be considered a Centre.

You think he did that for..... not money?

Ferris has discussed other contracts and how Marner was low balled.....

That wasn’t media? Or he thought he was talking to a person who wasn’t a reporter?

I'd be embarrassed if that was my dad! There have been other sources in the past that have not shown Paul Marner in the best light. I'm sure he wants the best for his son,but shut up already! You're not helping. I mean that whole offer sheet BS has failed,so what's plan B for Ferris?

The jig is up! Either the deal is done,but not signed or Marner needs to come to his senses. Dubas is limited as to what he can do (he has already done a lot)to accomodate the lad,so there can't be much left to decide.

Kinda disappointing to me that Mitch is letting his agent and probably his dad, take him down this path that's going to mean he misses training camp and possibly a few games...and for what? Perceived disrespect? Just awful.

I'm worried it's going to go that way, but we cant be sure. I think it's at a stalemate and marner's camp wants to see what happens when the pressure ramps up. For all we know, Marner wants to be there for the start of camp.

we're giving front loaded contracts with signing bonuses so Tavares made 16 million last last season and this upcoming season and Matthews will be the same the next 2 seasons. After the 1st 2 years it starts to get lower to keep the AAV down. So we got our own loophole we can use with our wallets while they have their tax loophole. Tavares and Matthews will be making more than McDavid in total salary but again that's just the 1st 2 seasons of the contract. Also, this way our contracts are really easy to move after we pay that signing bonus because their base salary is pocket change, even for budget teams.

Pretty sure TB is offering front load contracts too.

 

[Dekes For Days]

Negotiations didn't begin until after the season ended.

This is false. There had been negotiations for the entire previous offseason. And it's not like everybody forgot that there was going to be a contract during the season. The comments made were an attempt to influence the upcoming negotiations.

This shit is getting out of hand.

This **** is getting out of hand.

Huh? What happened?

Bad sign.

Marner camp wanting C money.

Bridge.

Vasi sure did give TB a discount, right? And Point is jumping out of his shoes to re-sign there at a discount too.

But Florida is such a great area and Toronto is in a third world country.

Tampa and its environment is a major bonus for the lightning where Toronto and the surrounding environment is a hinderance.

Both are great places that have their own pros and cons. There is no perfect spot.

Less stress in Florida.
Better weather.
Collect a pay cheque with much less scrutiny.
Lower taxes.

I know where I'd rather play.

Tampa is pretty close to perfect, as far NHL cities go.

Advertising money possibilities.
Celebrity Status.
Toronto is a world class city (Players in all leagues love going to Toronto).
Hometown of many players.

You can argue it both ways, which is exactly what the post said.

Oh you mean accountability and responsibility? I know lots of 21 year olds old who seek that out

Trade this little f***, and his entourage, to the highest bidder.

Enough is enough already. The crest on the front of the jersey is far more important than the name on the back. I'd rather my Leafs not win a cup ever again than to be held hostage by Matthews, Nylander, and now Marner. We need TEAM players, not selfish ME, ME, ME players!

You’ve given no positives...yeah Toronto is a nice place to visit....but that’s not even true anymore

No Babcock there

It's Canada and the mecca of hockey.
It's may not be for everyone but most kids growing up playing the sport and watching HNIC every Saturday would love to play in this market.

You should consider changing your user name to SunriseNHL then!

Still July here.

They seem to love playing road games there.

Yep, players get that extra jump when visiting Toronto or Montreal.
Many have family in the stands or at the very least know they will be able to watch.
