Mitch Marner Reportedly Turns Down Maple Leafs' Latest Offer

I can’t believe they are even talking about an extension. Only a Stanley Cup final should warrant continuing the Team A and Team B strategy. Unless he would be willing to take a serious paycut.

It's the Leafs. Have not had a sniff of the ECF in decades let alone SCF and no cup in over two generations. Why would we expect anything else but incompetence?

Spoiler alert. Marner isn't taking a haircut. He's probably asking Matthews money. That's 50% more than Reinhart who signed end of June. I'd honestly tell Ferris to GTFH and take his playoff dud with him.

It doesn’t sound like he’s asking for Matthews money. It just sounds like he’s not interested in negotiating right now. Don’t think this is a money thing. It’s everything a lot of you have been wanting and asking for.. him deciding he’s going to wait and see how things play out. I think a lot of people have forgotten it’s a negotiation, takes too sides. The leafs clearly want him, maybe he’s ready to leave at the end of the year.

I do love the reaction, we are mad at him for saying he wants to wait, when this whole thread has been preaching the leafs should wait.

Really? Seems kind of naïve not to believe they would discuss a contract with one of their top players.

If that is what he said, why would I be mad at him? God Bless him. He's doing the opposite of Willie who fleeced them last January. If I were mad, it would be with the dummies who do not want to wait and learned nothing from negotiating with now 11.5m PPG Nylander.

Oh and if he’s ready to leave at the end of the year, I'll gladly drive him to the airport unless Antropovsky beats me to it.

According to a new report, the Toronto Maple Leafs recently extended an offer to Mitch Marner on a new contract that was shot down quickly by his camp.

In the midst of what has been a great season so far for him personally, and a great one for the team as a whole, there's still a big question mark hanging over the head of Mitch Marner regarding his future with the Toronto Maple Leafs.

On a recent episode of the JD Bunkis podcast, host JD Bunkis said the Maple Leafs recently made Marner an offer that was shot down by his camp.

"My understanding of what has happened with Marner is that, actually now, they have tried to extend him a number, and he's the one, and his camp are the ones, that are actually saying 'yeah, we're actually going to wait on this thing and see how it goes. We might want to be the ones that hit free agency.'"
