Question.
Let’s say MM is back next season
Does that mean he is really not as good as some here might think, since teams are not offering much for him?
That is exactly what it means. 1000%
MacKinnon won the Hart and the Lindsey and McDavid the Conn Smythe and they are also named to the fist and second All-Star teams this year alone and both making $12.5 and 12.6 mil AAV.
Here are the scoring leaders in 2023-24 with Kucherov the best winger in the game making $9.5 mil
Marner has never even reached 100 points in a season.
Who the hell in their bloody right mind is going to pay Mitch invisible playoff ghost Marner +$12 mil ???
That is only part I of the problem, never mind a stubborn Marner refusing to waive his NMC and the opposition also putting together a trade package Leafs would accept in order for his new team to OVERPAY him.
I firmly believer the Leafs management desire to move on from him is
HIGH but the obstacles are much
HIGHER still. IMO
