Player Discussion Mitch Marner Part Infinity

The numbers some are suggesting for Marner seem ridiculous to me. He most likely won't score 25 goals next year and if is not getting his empty calorie assists on the PP, he's not getting 100 points. He's not even worth the Nylander overpay.

Sorry, offer him $1 and pay for his Uber to the airport.

Marner is slower right now. He is less nimble right now. He is going to age poorly.

Let him go.
 
Question as I know nothing about the regs and policies of FAs. If and when Marner signs what is the max years? I heard 7 from another team and 8 from TO? If that is right any chance they sign and trade him?

no team is gonna give up much of anything for a pending UFA, if he was an RFA its a whole different ball game. They might as well wait and try to get him for 7 years at a slightly higher cap hit

the absolute pipe dream which is such a longshot but something like marner 12x8 to vegas for William Karlsson. He wants to go to vegas, Vegas doesn't have the money and might be desperate for another piece to push them over the top.

Huberdeau got dealt with one year remaining, Rantanen with half. Upcoming UFAs are like Hyman, where we could've gotten a 3rd or 4th for his rights when Edmonton called, but Dubas decided the pick wasn't worth giving Edmonton the 8th year lol.
 
I find the $15.5M borderline impossible to believe. I understand that when negotiating you start apart and meet somewhere in the middle, but that number is so obscene that it's either not true or a no-so-subtle-I'm-not-reupping-here message.
I am having a hard time understanding how he would reject 13.5?

Also why the Leafs would offer that?

Spooked by the Rantanen situation?
 
Was just on PuckPedia and saw these Marner odds

we'll see how happy fans are without him halfway through the season !
Gonna be a long year for you if Marner walks and they sign Tavares. Regular season is meaningless. We just saw the Panthers mail in the last 10-15 games and are now a win away from their 3rd SCF. The winners of both conferences are golfing as we speak. Serious teams show up when it counts. Mitch shows up on July 1 to collect his bonus money.

Why would the Leafs offer him 13.5, and why would Marner turn that down - both excellent questions.

I still have a hard time believing that this actually happened but if it did, the mind boggles.

I read somewhere that the Leafs are inviting Marner to a meeting, and it sounds like the purpose of it is to find out if there's any chance he'll stay. Sounds like they'll be on their knees begging like I predicted not long ago, absolutely disgusting. We are fans of a franchise where pride is a foreign concept, so sad.

My concern now is that the Leafs are going to overpay for this years UFA's.

They look ridiculous for not handling this Marner situation better, and for numerous other reasons.

Regardless if you believe Marner should go, letting someone of his calibre walk away for nothing is awful.

IMO Leafs offer of $13.5m is legit. Most likely he turned it down because he wants out due to the heat he has been getting for the lack of playoff success. Only other reason is that he is dilutional and thinks he is worth $14+m.

Seravalli thinks the pot has been simmering for a while now and Marner walks.

i love this logic

regular season is meaningless but we have to sign Tavares , i guess Tre has to find him first since he was invisible in the playoffs , AGAIN !

Leafs totally fumbled the ball like they usually do.

Nobody is saying they "have" to sign Tavares. Odds are the Leafs will because they are the Leafs.

I was not in favour of paying Nylander more than $9.5m but they paid him $11.5m. I've accepted it but he is still not worth $11.5m. His 45 goals do make it more digestible.
