Salary Cap: Mitch Marner Contract Discussion Part VI | Marner Reportedly Turns Down 8 Year Term

[Stephen]

If Marner is intent on holding court publicly with other teams, I think we’re headed for a divorce.

Not sure how you walk back from a guy hobnobbing with other franchises to squeeze every dollar on one hand and have six guys shipped out and the team dismantled on the other and how you come back to happy faces during training camp.

Unfortunately until December 1st, then they cave again and give him everything he originally asked for including medium term

They can't wait till then because they have to put a team together. If you wait that long with Mitch, you may kiss a playoff spot good bye.

I really don’t like that.

Like you can ask for crazy numbers and term and shit, and at the end of the day, it’s a business for both sides.

If you literally go to other cities, fishing for an offer sheet......

That’s some whack shit

 

[Cotton]

The Leafs were going to be a top heavy team the minute they drafted Matthew's.

How can a GM force a RFA to sign a contract? Hes already suggested hed be willing to move a guy who wont sign a deal. That's about as forceful as you can be

He puts a horses head in Paul Marner's bed?

There have already been rumours that NYI may be getting ready to offer sheet Marner. Can't believe how short-sighted Marner is. Regardless of how this plays out, he's already damaged his reputation.

 

[willmma]

Just trade him already.

I don't think we can trade Daren Dreger

 

[FabledKnight]

How much money does Marner lose the moment he isnt a leaf? I'm no marketer but once he is on a team that doesnt see the ratings the leafs get he will say bye bye to a bunch of endorsements.

When is Marleau's last bonus payment? In December sometime.

Manipulate some LTIR to coincide with Marleau's bonus payment and the marner signing.

Maybe doubleshift marner, play him on the RD every couple of shifts.

Yeah, like if you want to be here, do it in house and hammer out a fair deal however the process works. To take it on the road you might as well stay on the road. How do you come back to a dismantled team and what kind of response are you going to have for the public when the team is struggling and everyone asks you about your contract.

If it ends up Marner vs JT + 4 1st rounders I will say we ended up a better team.

Cant believe it could come to this, imagine how Nylander feels. Got so much hate over holding out for like 500K extra and Mitch is asking for 12+ million and shopping himself to other teams... lol

Probably gets paid less in endorsements than he would save in taxes playing for 20 other teams in the league.

That’s within the Islanders purview and I hope the Leafs respond in kind with a Barzal retaliation. That said, Marner should understand that if he signs with the Islanders he should be prepared to go there and not expect the Leafs to go matching at any cost.

Dreger has spent his career milking the leafs for attention. What about all the other big rfa’s that are available?

Brayden Point is a Center, fantastic defensively, has similar point totals as marner and more goals (in 3 less games).

Might be enticement for a big name player to come to Toronto though.

Out with one rental in with the next.

Depends if teams are actually willing to give him 12 million. If they are he would make money by leaving especially if it is to a tax free state.

 

[Arthur Morgan]

score just updated and told me Marner has no interest in a max term deal.
great looking to strap us down hard now and again short term just like Matthews. oh well get it done Dubas. hopefully atleast 6-7 years.

Imo signing an offersheet 100% means hes gone even if the Leafs match, I can see them flipping him next offseason for a mountain of assets if the relationship is this sour.

Obviously fingers crossed ot doesnt come to this

Haha if Lou offer sheets marner... than he goes up in my books, that would be ruthless. Especially after he signed marleau and Zaitsev.

 

[Stephen]

Brayden Point is a Center, fantastic defensively, has similar point totals as marner and more goals (in 3 less games).

If Marner feels insulted by $10.5 million per season I’m fairly confident that Rantanen, Aho, Point, Laine, Tkachuk, Barzal next year and Pettersson the year after won’t.

 

[Stephen]

Haha if Lou offer sheets marner... than he goes up in my books, that would be ruthless. Especially after he signed marleau and Zaitsev.

Can you imagine 4 Islanders first rounders in your back pocket and the chance to steal Barzal next summer? Or Dobson, Bellows etc. when they have a cap crunch?

 

[Menzinger]

Wonder if Marner would agree to a deal like 3X8.

Absurdly high for a bridge, but gives the team and player a couple years to figure out if they can smooth things over on a long term deal. And also keeps Marner as an rfa so the Leafs could trade him still for assets if a third contract cant be worked out

 

[IPS]

Dreger has spent his career milking the leafs for attention. What about all the other big rfa’s that are available?

Brayden Point is a Center, fantastic defensively, has similar point totals as marner and more goals (in 3 less games).

And Leafs nation continues to give him so much attention. I've been advocating for years to completely ignore these tools.

 

[Raymondo316]

Christ the media are gonna turn this into Tavares 2.0 if Mitch really plans to publicly meet with other teams next week

I find it amusing that the hometown prodigal kid finally came along and if reports are true is the most ruthless, ego driven entrepreneurial RFA we have basically ever seen. Is he seriously sour over Lou’s lack of bonuses?
