Marner Predictions - What Happens Now

[colchar]

He will demand the same deal that Captain America got and Tre will decide to let him walk. However, Shanny will get involved and order Tre to give him the Captain America deal.

it is pretty funny that shanahann grit man likes these soft players

 

[GoonieFace]

The ones celebrating maintaining the status quo of the Leafs are honestly the biggest suckers in the NHL.

I bet a lot are season ticket holders that are too embarrassed about the amount of money they spend on this garbage.

 

[notDatsyuk]

He’ll get it somewhere. The Leafs can’t have him walk for nothing but cap space.

If the Rangers can win a couple of rounds with Panarin and Zibanejad, the Leafs should be able to with Marner and Nylander.

If he insists on getting $12, we will be better off just letting him walk.

I feel like all those people don't understand how a NMC works...

I feel like that was more wishful thinking that cold logic.

 

[notDatsyuk]

Calvin Johnson, ex Detroit Lions NFL Hall of Fame Wide Receiver, did in fact do Option #7.

I had the feeling that was too specific to not be a reference to something that actually happened.

 

[Oscar Peterson]

Maybe. I’ve definitely seen a lot of people just in pure ignorance of what an NMC is, or a lot of people thinking that the Leafs could just easily “intimidate” him into waiving it by refusing to play him etc.

 

[dj Mahoney]

Marner seems really angry. I wont be shocked if he spends half the year injured (even though he's a ufa soon) .

 

[centipede2233]

The leafs hold some power in that they are the only team that can offer 8 yrs. That could also be used to help marner waive to a team willing to resign him for 8 yrs to.

 

[All Mod Cons]

Extend him. This core 4 is so close. Giving up now is madness. This time it'll be different.

He isn't getting traded.

 

[centipede2233]

He isn't getting traded.

I agree. He’s walking to ufa

 

[Evilhomer]

I agree. He’s walking to ufa

Maybe in many years,

 

[Enniskillen]

no more Marner threads, who cares about this playoff loser? Let’s talk about Domi’s dog or hakinpaa’s knee, it will be much more meaningful discussion.

 

[Arzak]

One last season? I still hope they can flip him for 4th rounder.


65 points, traded to Utah for future considerations and conditional 2nd rounder at the deadline! One has to be optimistic!

 

[Sundinisagod]

That was my hope, but looks like team Marner is anticipating a bidding war out there.

 

[Nineteen67]

I feel like all those people don't understand how a NMC works...

Most know exactly how they work but some seem to believe it actually prevents teams and players from making a move.

 

[Tie Domi Esquire]

The leafs hold some power in that they are the only team that can offer 8 yrs. That could also be used to help marner waive to a team willing to resign him for 8 yrs to.

Maybe he wants to be like his captain and never sign an 8 year deal until he's old.

 

[Racer88]

Maybe in many years,

It better be soon if we want any chance of winning a cup this decade

 

[Gabriel426]

The thing they should do is let’s see about playoffs before giving him a contract.
As I don’t think Shanny and even Tre can survive another 1st round exit if they extend both MM and JT before the playoffs.

 

[Larcos_Unal]

Mitchy will be resigned, he will be paid very handsomely, he will retire a Leaf, he will never see the 3rd round of the NHL playoffs in his career.

 

[arso40]

true but if he wants to cash in on the short term cap raises then 7 or 8 arent even in play

 

[HamiltonNHL]

Mitchy will be resigned, he will be paid very handsomely, he will retire a Leaf, he will never see the 3rd round of the NHL playoffs in his career.

Will sell a lot of jerseys

Leafs can wait to experience 3rd round win for the first time since their foundation after Mitch's done collecting checks. Not a day sooner.

 

[Antropovsky]

I've said it before, and I'll say it again—watching the Marner interview after Matthews was introduced as captain was an example how Marner is so focused on himself. Every question the media asked about Matthews, and Marner talks "us" instead of focusing on Matthews. Marner, this event isn't about you; it's Matthews' moment to shine.

Marner also mentions how Johnny taught "them" that the work doesn’t stop on the ice. While Matthews has grown significantly—both physically and as a leader—Marner seems to be heading in the opposite direction. He may actually be less fit than he was in his early years, clearly not putting in the offseason work, and his sense of entitlement towards the media has grown. His game has become less physical, too. So, lumping himself into a response about Matthews isn’t exactly a ringing endorsement, especially given the criticism Marner's been facing.

Personally, I dont think Marner does these things intentionally, its just what hes been taught and grown accustomed to.

Wears an A and re-signs
