Love him or hate him Marner sure generates a lot of emotion.
My official stance at this point is about the playoffs. Not just if he has a great stats line but what this stats mean. Not all goals are created equal and not all assist are created equal.
Second to that is team success
. If they flame out first round again changes will be required and as long as they haven’t signed him yet he will be one of those changes along with Tavares

 

[notdoneyet]

They know that marner Tavares Willy and matthews ALL of them have disappointed in the playoffs
Even if they lose in the first round they will still sign marner
They are a worse team without him and don’t give me the we can replace him with a 7 and 6 million dollar replacement
They will never ever lose a player like marner for nothing allowing him to UFA

Maybe Shanahan was playing the long game all along. Wait till everyone else sucks and hope it works out one of these years. I’m actually suprised they haven’t re-signed him yet, not sure who doesn’t want to commit

I expect them to announce a new contract no later than the end of March. It will be done before the playoffs start.

I suspect the agent is waiting out the league to formally announce the next cap, or at least give a firmer confirmation of just how high the raise will be. , Gives them the ability to up the AAV based on cap hit %

Or to put it another way, Marner has instructed his agent to squeeze the team for every penny he possibly can. Up that AAV baby, up it as high as you can.

I like to believe that he is just getting horrible advice from his agent. Now that Matthews and Nylander have signed he has the chance to take less than he could and change the way some view him. Or better yet, he can lead the Leafs to the Cup and no one will care what his AAV is

Team player baby. Every team needs a few.
