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

[SeaOfBlue]

Negotiations were kept quiet with WN and AM. This has been a ****-show

They were quiet with Matthews. Nylander was a pretty big ****-show, crunch time was just later than it was now.

 

[SeaOfBlue]

Dubas should bring him a #16 home sweater with the C on the right shoulder, and just say "c'mon Mitch you know you want it, lets' do it!"

problem, as they say, solved!

Marner has lost the privilege of even being considering IMO. This behaviour is not captain material, especially not in Toronto.

 

[ShaneFalco]

Nylander's were very noisy you practically couldn't click on any hockey media without it being the lead story

I stand corrected then. I just don't remember it getting like this at all.......

wasn't Mats captain when he signed the deal that supposedly would "ruin" the Leafs

 

[Dragao6]

If Lou offer sheets Marner and he signs and the Leafs don't match, it will become a great rivalry. I really hope we beat them in the playoffs 6 years in a row in game 7 with the Tavares game winning goal.

Love it
But even though they had their season i dont see ny as a playoff team

 

[Plub]

like an arizona or nj? I wouldn't mind that.

AZ would likely become a playoff team with Marner. They barely missed last season with the most injuries in the NHL (if not among the most) and those injures were to key players, not their 4th liners. You add Marner to a healthy Coyotes team and they absolutely make the playoffs.

 

[therealkoho]

I stand corrected then. I just don't remember it getting like this at all.......

tbh I think the stress of the possibility of losing Marner has a lot to do with it

Nylander is likeable sort of and only sometimes, but Mitch was born to be a Leaf, and a Leafs Captain at that

 

[Plub]

Dubas should bring him a #16 home sweater with the C on the right shoulder, and just say "c'mon Mitch you know you want it, lets' do it!"

problem, as they say, solved!

You would give him the C after this mess as a negotiation tactic?

 

[Suntouchable13]

I am starting to believe more and more that he will be playing for somebody else next season. On the flip side, other RFAs have not signed either. This one seems more toxic, though.

 

[Plub]

What if we traded him to Columbus for Werenski or Jones? They need to rebalance their forwards and we need defense. That would be fine. Then spend the cash savings

No way CBJ moves Jones for Marner. I don't think they would move Jones for anything to be honest. He's f***en incredible.

 

[FlareKnight]

I'm going to say a whole lot of nope on Marner being captain. He should be happy if he comes out of this situation as a Leaf at all. There's a solid list of guys ahead of him before you even consider Marner for that spot anyways.

Anderson + please

 

[Notsince67]

So wait a minute. Marner turns down 11 x 8 but $11mm or more is not part of the discussion.
Are people here shamed or is the position that Dreger is full of it

 

[JT AM da real deal]

Negotiations were kept quiet with WN and AM. This has been a ****-show by the marner camp

Willy told his buddies what was going on and why he was not at camp. and it filtered out to many people around team and affiliate teams. but then it went totally quiet during season.
Matty never said a word about numbers to anyone. and it was totally quiet. a total pro. all he said was things were going to get done.
I think a lot of BS being stirred now is click bait by TV hockey insiders trying to get interest as Rogers applying a lot of pressure to them to get stuff as hockey TV numbers nosedive. I have not heard a thing and I am friends with Paul for many years. I did hear that Shanny specifically asked for this negotiation to be LID tight which is why he went to 1st meeting himself. since then ZIP. If his camp does start to publicly make statements then I would worry because that will be Mitch's last day in Toronto. so I am still not worried although I do believe there is a divide. and if things pass July 1st oh well that's life. I have thought for some time now that we can't have 4 forwards with 40M+ in AAV. It just does not work in CBA.

 

[therealkoho]

Anderson + please

before last season started I suggested dumping Nylander on the BJ's and acquiring Anderson, had more then a few "fans" ask who the heck is Josh Anderson?

 

[therealkoho]

So wait a minute. Marner turns down 11 x 8 but $11mm or more is not part of the discussion.

c'mon man it's Dreger, you know it's all speculative horse-puckey

 

[Notsince67]

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.

Wait. Dreger said 11MM or more is not part of the discussion yet you throw out that Marner is insulted at 10.5. Seem to me you are just making stuff up here trying to illicit a response.

 

[leaffaninvancouver]

Since Nonis moved on Dreger is always full of it.

 

[Notsince67]

c'mon man it's Dreger, you know it's all speculative horse-puckey

Yeah so Dreger is saying Marner is not asking for 11 and the last clickbate was that there was a feeing that Marner would only get 11 if he signed for 8 so I guess it means that Marner is asking for 11 right

 

[Maximus74]

Kid put up monster numbers with JT and now wants to be the highest paid winger in the game. Why is it always the Leafs that end up with the greedy me first guys? I love his game and want him to be a Leaf, but if it is true he turned down 8 x 11 he can get the frack out of here....

 

[Notsince67]

Since Nonis moved on Dreger is always full of it.

Please list one credible person in the media who said that Marner is asking for 11 during these negotiations. Not what they thought but what they heard

 

[JT AM da real deal]

c'mon man it's Dreger, you know it's all speculative horse-puckey

You have it bang on correct. If either Dubie or Marner publicly breaks the cone of silence then it will be either's last day with da Leafs. so that is when you should worry because it means the end is very near. Shanny does not talk that much but when he does it is with a HUGE stick.

 

[Suntouchable13]

Logically, if he wasn't asking for that much it would be done by now. Leafs are probably very comfortable with a 10x8 contract.

well realistically 3 x 11 at forward doesn't work.

 

[JT AM da real deal]

well realistically 3 x 11 at forward doesn't work.

maybe but Penguins pulled it off with Crosby Malkin and Kessel. can leafs do it with Matty JT and Willy? time will tell.
