The 7th option is too out there for HF. I like it, but some people are going to be bent out of shape.

Until a trade is announced he wears the A. You don’t publicly strip a player you intend or hope to trade. You want to retain value, that goes along with his self esteem and wanting to prove himself. If he agrees to a trade, and he’s had a typical Marner regular season, you are going to get the most value out of him you can.

In a perfect world you trade him now for major assets. Retool with playoff players.

As for what happens, who knows, but it would be a shame to let him walk for nothing, with the cap going up I could see management justifying a resigning of Marner with Tavares either going to free agency or signing to a team friendly deal.

Personally, sayōnara, auf wiedersehen, Bye Bye.

Is not traded, has a great year and is re-signed.

This is what I fully expect

 

[Menzinger]

Basically it's about 60% chance he's extended 40% walks, 0 to 1% chance he's traded

 

[Sypher04]

Yup. I’d say this is accurate

 

[bax]

Resigned and starts the season with the A

 

[ACC1224]

But the few hundred or so were so sure he was leaving this summer. Shirley they couldn’t have read the situation incorrectly?

I could not vote as the option of 'Publicly tarred and feathered and ran out of town for not performing in the playoffs' was completely and utterly missing.

I hope he is traded before the trade deadline. I'd even consider swapping him for Laine straight up.

He needs to be on a team that values his regular season points heroics but MISSES the playoffs because he is a USELESS playoff performer.

Some Leaf fans just love torturing themselves. The core isn't going anywhere, that includes Marner and in all likelihood Tavares as well. MLSE has a good thing going with marketable stars and playoffs every year. They won't risk losing a trade (which is likely with full NMCs) or letting a star walk and failing to adequately replace him (sorry but Rantanen and Draisaitl aren't coming here).

Marner will get $11.5-12m x 8 and it will announced when he's on some crazy point streak. Tavares will come in at $4-6m on medium term. We're either going to eventually break through with this group or we won't. Time for major change has passed. I don't like it either, but I can see the writing on the wall.

I love your optimism

What happens next, hmmmmm let’s see. 82 games where we finish 3rd followed by 5-7 playogffs games where we crap out in the first round.
I have 7 years of evidence to back me up

The realist in me agree with all the above. The leafs fan in me that would love to see some meaningful improvement and success just threw up in the toilet.

 

[hamzarocks]

31 goals and 66 assists for 97 pts in 79 games

1 g and 4a in 7 playoff games

The mitch marner special.

 

[Arzak]

I voted for starts with no A, but I can see him eating crows in a year. Tough choice

 

[HamiltonNHL]

Resigned and starts the season with the A

Almost no chance

Word for word what I would have said. I think this is spot on.

yup and still not a @00 point player playing with the best pure scorer in the game……..must be Matthews fault

 

[bax]

Almost no chance

Resigned is just my guess but losing the A I’ll be shocked if it happens.

 

[PanniniClaus]

All signs point to an overpay. Could probably still live with his regular season hero act if we had a d man that was a one time threat on the PP.
