Salary Cap: Mitch Marner Contract Discussion Part VIII | We Waitin'

[Ziggdiezan]

Either Dreger is making **** up to get attention, eyeballs and clicks from fans (it's working, here we are discussing it) or Marner and his camp are truly insane. Giving a winger $13M per year is insane. We'll take the picks, enjoy your life wherever you end up, Mitch.

Marner's camp could also just be feeding Dreger lies about what they heard would be offered for Marner around the league. It is embarrassing none the less that someone would report that as if it has any credibility

Yeah it's pathetic either way. Getting really old. Just f***ing sign already or tell us you want to leave and we'll ship your ass out.

Dreger seems to be completely insane

Lol I was spreading rumours on the main board a while ago that a team was going to offer sheet Marner at 14x5 as a joke.

 

[Bomber0104]

So Marners camp has leaked (apparently) that 10x5 is what he wants.

There will be at least a half dozen offer sheets tendered to him at 10.5x5. Who's to say if he signs it but we're in a tough spot to accept that with Rielly needing a deal done before that ends, not to mention Matthews.

Understand leaf fans, that at 10.5, we only get 2 1sts a 2nd and a 3rd. Small price to pay for Mitch if you have the space.

Personally I'd have 1 more sit down with him and very clear that I'm moving on of he doesn't sign.

If you acknowledge that compensation is very low for a player of Marner's calibre (and I agree), then why wouldn't the Leafs match it?

The Leafs could match that and get more for Marner literally at the trade deadline of the final year of the contract, plus 5 years of production.

If we’re talking about taxes in places being nice, let’s talk about how far the USD will go in Canada

Because i am a Leaf fan, i am rooting for Dubas in this negotiation, because that is what is best for the Leafs. If Marner signs, i will root for Marner, and i will lobby that Dubas find a good way to make due with whatever $$ are left. So for me, it is not Marner vs. Dubas, it is what works for me as a fan. I like cheering for good players, it is fun, so I will continue to root for the good players we have.

My issue with Dreger is that he is cheerleading for why Mitch should be pissed off that he is not being offered what Matthews was. I understand a lot of people feel Marner is as good as anyone in the league. i respect that, but i disagree. Love the kid, but seriously, this is not like being a center scoring 40 goals before i'm 20. It's just not. There should be no comparison between these two, and the part about it the bothers me is that it indicates they are unhappy with the pecking order on the team. At some point, they either accept it or they move on.

If Mitch is upset now that some fans are chirping him on twitter, he truly has not understood what's about to happen if he keeps the leafs at bay for a while longer.

The gap isn't anywhere near as bad as people make out, if you've got an excellent accountant and lawyer you'd be amazed how much money you can save yourself

 

[Nylander88]

We'll gladly take the cap space and fine tune other areas if it's going to get ridiculous. Just let us know kid.. we'll be okay without you

 

[Contenderorpretender]

Paul marner will receive 10% of the contract because he feels he deserves it for being a great dad.

Is that happening?

 

[Erndog]

Darren Ferris also represents Sandin correct?

Darren Ferris also represents Sandin correct?

Hes represented by Lewis Gross. Nylanders agent

 

[Apex Predator]

There's no way some team is thinking of offer sheeting Marner 13-14 Million for 5 years. I find that crazy to believe!

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Darren Ferris also represents Sandin correct?

no, Sandin has Lewis Gross (Nylander's agent)

 

[Erndog]

no, Sandin has Lewis Gross (Nylander's agent)

Oh right!

 

[biotk]

To me that's an awful return. But each to their own.

Yes, but to you paying Marner 5 x 11.6M is a good deal so....

I heard that today at MC from a few people. Speculation is Rangers strongly considering a 13M 8 year deal for Point to make him highest paid player in league. It is not a Marner rumor. But I don't believe it. It seems far fetched to me. I can't see anyone giving up 4 1sts for either Marner or Point.

 

[hockeywiz542]

No.... Rasmus Sandin's agent is Lewis Gross from Sports Professional Management Agency.

William Nylander's agent of record is Lewis Gross.

Some GM views Marner as the best player in the league? Good way to lose your job. Won't happen

 

[hamzarocks]

Looking at the agents board I just found out that Drew Doughty is his own agent. Signed himself to a 11 million dollar deal. Wonder if Paul and Marner decide to ditch Ferris and go with Paul as the Manager.


Insert "I'm a Paul (Marner) Guy" T-Shirt for Mitch in his next advertisement.

That sucks rocks too

 

[jrgtml67]

Team really gonna offer him more $ than McDavid lol

Some coaches have given him that kind of praise to be honest. Honestly, I think Marner might have a better reputation around the league than he does by our fanbase.

Kid is a star.

 

[hamzarocks]

That sucks rocks too

Atleast the young defenders market hasnt changed as drastically as the forwards. Sanheim got a 2 year bridge deal which for RFA forwards like (rants, marner, aho, boeser, point) seems impossible. We should hopefully have less difficulty signing sandin as defender break out later than forwards most often.
