Salary Cap: Mitch Marner Contract Discussion Part VII | The Saga Continues

[ULF_55]

is 11m X 7 really a discount?

nobody has conclusive proof that the Sharks offered more or was a city that included his wife, his wifes family, his family and the kid's he grew up playing with

up until he signed he had made 44.25m, JT is not a flashy guy doesn't own a stable of lambo's, bought a relatively modest home and is known to be a real family/homebody type of guy especially with his Uncle John, just the money he made in NY will be enough to keep his great grand children living a very comfortable life, the Leafs contract double's that surety.

He was free to sign with anyone, and wasn't there a claim the Islander claim they offered as much or more?

Yeah, he's probably overpaid but the Leafs weren't the only team willing to overpay happens every UFA season. Players can chose their destinations.

I never said he signed with us on a discount. But seeing as you're changing the subject I'll assume you agree with my outlook, but will the relentless negativity and self-loathing cease? It typically doesn't but I guess we'll see...

 

[ULF_55]

Marner is not a typical winger though. He drives the play and has the vision and creativity of a centre, which is not surprising given his background in the OHL.

He is a crucial part of our offense. I think his speculated salary demands are still excessive, but Dubas made his bed with the Tavares and Matthews contracts, and now he has to lie in it.

Both marner and the Leafs have options.

I'm okay with whatever the outcome is.

 

[Notsince67]

Marner is nowhere close to Ovi anyway.

Yes, I'll take dominant centers like Matthews and Sundin from the past over wingers like Marner.

That wasnt the point and you know it. Point is that the statement is clearly proved wrong and positions like your own hold zero water.

 

[Cotton]

How does it work?
In this day and age there must be video of him berating his son after an NHL Game? With the Knights?

You implied Marner being an adult somehow changes Paul being a dick. That's not how it works, if anything his years of being a dick unchecked would of habituated.

 

[therealkoho]

JT was promised the team would have a home when he signed at a discount and by the end of his contract they still didn't. Elite UFA's leaving ASAP may become a reality in the future (I don't have a crystal ball) but there's absolutely no reason or precedence to feel sorry for yourself.

pardon me?

and seriously stop with the amateurish psychonanalysis you sound foolish

I'm not an Islanders fan ? When I say "us" I refer to Leafs. When I say he was promised the team would have a home, I am obviously referring to Islanders not having a permanent arena. Maybe a bit of analysis on your end would save you some trouble.

 

[TMLeafer]

I guess it's ok to trade away Matthews and Marners "family" (Marleau family) to make their caphits fit. Great look kids.

 

[Stephen]

Marner is severely overplaying his hand in a moment of crisis for the Leafs rebuild.

By making it a Matthews vs Marner situation I think he’s inadvertently putting into motion the Leafs ultimately choosing Matthews over him and sending him packing even if he re-signs this summer.

No I replied to a post regarding Marner yelling at his kid and that no longer happens because Mitch is no longer a kid. However you think anything works has nothing to do with my post.

Judging a persons character based in a short 10 year old video is kind of being a dick. Hopefully not unchecked.

I haven't even seen the video, I'm just pointing out certain behaviors are more likely to habituate rather than stop without intervention. This doesn't even have to be about Marner, but to say it no longer occurs because the child reached adulthood is a great assumption.

Look at the Danton case for an example, the player who tried to have his agent clipped, he had been abusing him since childhood and aslong as he had access he maintained control, even as an adult.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Fine, then take a hike Mitch.

 

[Kamiccolo]

If he does it just trade him. Shows he doesn't give a f*** about his team, his hometown team. The team he grew up cheering for. f*** him if he does it. Just means he is gone after the deal, and if he won't do 8 years, what's the point? Get a good RD and a replacement forward and replace the first for next year.

 

[Schooner]

Fine, then take a hike Mitch.

For a kid that could be a local hero in this city, he sure is quickly making himself look like a ****

 

[Leafsman]

Fine, then take a hike Mitch.

If he takes a single meeting, I will lose a ton of respect for the guy!

Just paid a 1st round pick to clear room for the guy. If all he cares about is paycheque then get rid of him!

 

[Paradoc]

Fine, then take a hike Mitch.

Welp, this process sure has made my decision easier on which jersey to buy. Tavares or Matthews would be a great buy for me!

 

[ImpartialNHLfan]

I followed his entire career, and he's my favorite Leaf. But he can rot in Zona if he thinks he's worth more then $10m/8years.

Honestly, if people like you are majority, I'd expect Marner to demand a trade just so he doesn't have to be treated like this.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Fine, then take a hike Mitch.

has an RFA ever openly solicited offers from other teams? I think it's beyond repair at this point, he needs to go

 

[Kamiccolo]

Honestly, if people like you are majority, I'd expect Marner to demand a trade just so he doesn't have to be treated like this.

Good. Oh poor Marner, having to take 9.5 million instead of 11. Let's start a go fund me for him, so he doesn't starve to death playing a game for a living.

 

[Kamiccolo]

Welp, this process sure has made my decision easier on which jersey to buy. Tavares or Matthews would be a great buy for me!

So happy I got a Rielly jersey instead of any of these greedy kids.

 

[Schooner]

I think you are minority here pal. If Marner is delusional to think he deserves more than Matthews, then see ya later.

 

[Leafsman]

Honestly, if people like you are majority, I'd expect Marner to demand a trade just so he doesn't have to be treated like this.

Good! I'll get Dubas and we can make it official.

Hometown guy should be making this easy. Look at Kappy (not even a hometown guy but wants to win here)! I want a team of people who want to win, not whine!

 

[Caesium]

Good. Oh poor Marner, having to take 9.5 million instead of 11. Let's start a go fund me for hi, so he doesn't starve to death playing a game for a living.

You can say that about almost every professional athlete. Why not cap every player at $3 million then? People don't need more than that to play a game. The bottom line is he just watched his teammate get paid $7 million to put up 27 points while he put up 94. It's a matter of respect.

Paul is that you?
