The cap is projected to be rise to 92m. If he wants his percentage based on the $100m projected in subsequent years, he can GTFO. The goal is for his contract to be a bargain as the cap increases so they can add impact players, not washed up Jumbos and shitty Ritchies.

Like I'm actually bullish on the cap, but don't think we're seeing a 96+ mil cap until '26-27. The team absolutely should not be giving contracts for what the cap is likely going to be in a couple years. Especially if a player wants to sign mid season before we even have a confirmed cap next year

Marners getting a pay raise - and that's fine, the nature of the business of the league. But it needs to be grounded in reality

For me, I am going to start a thread on this board and instead of using the name Marner, I will just call him his cap hit and find 3 or 4 videos where can claim negative things about him, and recycle them endlessly on the board spamming every thread. That will learn him.


Exactly. I know they are silent boos, but I can assure you he is crying on the inside.
At the end of the day the blame has to fall to the GM. The player can ask for the world nobody is forcing the GM to give it to him. Silly to expect Mitch to run the team off ice as well as on. Well, if he is doing both maybe he deserves more afterall

Say it with me.. Stolarz is signed for two years. We aren’t losing him hahaha
In 2 years stolarz ask is going to be over $9 million if he achieves being a top five goalie.

I do not want to be tied up contractually with a stupid no movement clause to a kid who can't perform in the playoffs.

I don't give a flying f about anything he's done so far this year in the regular season and I will continue to not be amazed. He could score a million points in the regular season, but if he can't score one point in the playoffs, he is an absolute useless bag of pucks.

Leafs need to draw a hard line in the sand on full NMC. As in Marner shouldn't get one. I'm enjoying his play lately but it's just business.

The Leafs aren't going to lose anyone they want to keep. Whether Marner gets $12 million or $14 million (which he won't get) won't have any impact on Stolartz.
