I don't agree with 13 but i do think he's worth as much as Auston. Matthews is the better scorer but Mitch makes everyone around him way better(just ask Tavares whom he would rather play with) and has a way better engine(kid barely looks tired out there) compared to Matthews and that's very important.

 

[GardinerTheForward]

Marner can GTFO

 

[Leaf Fans]

How would anyone know if he got the offersheet without signing it. I guess he could claim one has been offered, but for peat sake, if someone offers you to be the highest paid player in the NHL, you turn it down?

 

[ShaneFalco]

Yeah no bias/blinders there

How good would Matthews look if he had a linemate of Mitch's quality?

Or Tavares.

 

[The CyNick]

As good as Tavares?

 

[Warden of the North]

No one is offering 13m for Mitch.

 

[Warden of the North]

As good as Tavares?

Probably better

Yeah $13M for 26 goals. You would think Tavares was a fire hydrant Mitch dragged over the 80pt line Prust wishes that was real because he would have had been a $6.5m guy back in 2010.

How can we survive with Matthews and Marner making 11.6 each? How many years will we have to waste before the cap rises enough to make those contracts palatable? Matthews contract might be up by the anyway. It just doesn't make sense to me.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

I don't care what dreger says nobody is paying Marner more than Mcdavid

 

[Muston Atthews]

Money Mitch Marner

 

[Kurtz]

I think this guy had a few too many concussions.

Forget the $13 mil, just calling him the most dynamic player in a league that features Mcdavid and Mckinnon is idiotic. And passing on a $13 mil offer from a Buffalo only to sign for $11 mil+ here wouldn't exactly make him look like a hero. Whatever gains he makes on the offer sheet sheet he'll lose by losing his dozen+ endorsements, and his entire camp knows this. And we know it too.

This is indeed the big issue. We only have 5 years until Matthews, Rielly, Anderson, Nylander all need new raises and we could have 40+% of our cap tied up in 3 forwards. Trading Nylander doesnt fix that issue so as we wait for the cap to rise enough to get back more depth we run the risk of not being able to afford the next wave of contracts.

Marner can't get Matthews money on the Toronto Maple Leafs with Matthews and Jt on the team.

By the time it does, both will be reset to the top if the pay charts. It'll be something like 8-9 years before we see them as value deals.

I have a hard time justifying that money for a play-maker who's assist/60 in the playoffs was between Jake Muzzin and Connor Brown.

Someones about to add Tyler Myers to a group that consists of only Doughty, Karlsson, Subban, OEL, and Burns.

Someone is probably dumb enough to pay Marner more than McDavid.

U srs? He blocked 2 shots that one time.

 

[ShaneFalco]

How about negotiating in good faith Marners

Because you’ve shown you can be slimy and manipulative

So Mitch is the guy that makes everybody better on that line? Are you sure?

Bozak/JvR and Tavares only had slightly boosted point totals playing with Marner vs other players.

Tavares has a 10 year history of making his linemates substancially better. I'm not saying Marner isn't great but I think a lot of people have it backwards as to who the impact player on that line is.

We can not afford both of them at 11.6. They have very little chance to outperform their contracts. Just performing up to them would be a huge challenge.

His line was tasked with stopping Boston's top line.
