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.'"

Best news I have heard all day. If true it sure fly’s in the face of the narrative that he loves being a leaf and wants to remain a Leaf
Someone beat ya by 5 hours, you prob got too excited posting this tho....
Lmfao you can’t be serious, this is the most hypocritical post ever. If Marner comes out and says he’s willing to sign the deal, you guys would be on him and shitting on both him and the team for signing before the playoffs.
Now he’s saying he wants to keep his options open after the media and fans shit on him every April for the last 4 years, he’s the bad guy and the narrative of him wanting to be here is a lie. lol it’s pretty asinine. Pick a side, what do you want?
I said it in the thread earlier, if I’m Marner it makes zero sense to sign now. If he has an outstanding playoffs and they win, he has leverage, if he has an outstanding playoffs and the leafs lose, he has leverage, if they lose and he sucks, he can walk and start fresh somewhere else and so can the team.
Also keeping your options open doesn’t mean you’re not enjoying where you are. At the end of the day it’s a business. We also don’t even know if this is true. It’s freaking JD Bunkis reporting this lmao
