Player Discussion Mitch Marner Part Infinity

[Sundinisagod]

This should come as no surprise.

This should come as no surprise.

Why should any team pay him that much to be a mercenary? lol

If his priority is about the money by committing only 2 years, why would any team think that he's serious about winning?

 

[Sundinisagod]

You cant buy Land Rovers with good intentions...

You can buy Land Rovers with a league minimum contract.

I think a short term deal will actually be attractive to more teams, there is less risk if he doesn’t work out.

 

[ToneDog]

This guy has no shame when it comes to being a big time playoff loser and then looking for every penny can get after milking the Leafs for $70m with playoff embarrassment after playoff embarrassment to show for it. Maybe you should look up the word humble in the dictionary?

 

[Superstar]

Definitely, especially when it only cost them cap space...but the perception would be that he's only in it for the money...maybe some teams just don't care.

 

[ToneDog]

Hopefully MLSE isn't considering that option.

Hopefully they have closed the book on this greedy loser. We've seem more than enough. Screaming at his teammates to wake the f*** up is more embarrassing than his play against the Panthers.

 

[Stephen]

I don't know about that. Marner probably doesn't sign here regardless because they "disrespected" him. He can take his ball and go elsewhere. Sure letting him walk is a poor use of assets, but signing him to a bigger contract is even worse. Anyone thinking he'll suddenly turn into a playoff performer with more money is his pocket is delusional.

I wonder if Marner starts getting a whiff of immaturity issues around the league based on how he’s organizing his free agency tour. The idea that the Leafs ever disrespected him is just laughable considering how loyal they were to the core 4 project and how well paid Marner has been his whole time here.

lt's not a good look. lf l'm a GM, l start asking questions before approaching him.

Him screaming at others is irony at its finest.

hope every gm laughs in his face and shuts the door if he seriously trys to get a 2 year deal for 13m lol.

Hopefully he takes his sweet ass time asking teams to wine and dine him while smart GMs fill out their rosters.

 

[Antropovsky]

Lol, whose been saying this since the regular season?

That Antropovsky character.

Not surprised that it is being spun as, Marner "is considering". It's the only deal he wants. He needs Matthews contract.

l hope his next option is to GTFO.

 

[PromisedLand]

where is the "Vomit" emoji?

Remember the shit we took for Tavares? The Islanders still made the playoffs after he left. We'll survive.

I think Sens make alot of sense for both.

I could see them doing a 2-3 year deal he wants, because Tkatchuks deal is up on 2 years and he likely would be gone. Their ownership may think that showing they are serious about winning may get him to re-sign.

Sens have excellent #1 Dman in Sanderson, have big physical star players in Sanderson and Tkatchuk.

Kind of environment Marner needs IMO to succees, his lack of physical play in the shadow of very physical players.

Like I’m sure those teams exist out there that are willing to do it, but you think about the idea of a superstar waylaying on your program as they laser in on a next contract and it’s very unattractive. Like this guy is here for a snack payday on his way to the next even bigger forever payday. He’s within his right to be a mercenary but there’s also a value judgement that comes with that.

 

[Gabriel426]

He is going to sign with the Rangers
Rangers need a big win and is willing to trade anyone on the roster.

1x11.5m no NMC or maybe even his 2x11.5-12m but no NMC.

I would do this, maybe even 12 and leave it open for McDavid even though that likely won't happen.

Him and Shesterkin will kill their cap. l'm all for it.

Tavares was the first major star to leave his team, he took a discount and went home on a 7 year deal.

Marner, on the other hand, may become the first star to leave specifically in search of a massive payday.

His camp is already working overtime to manage the optics. We're hearing now that he "took too much blame" and he waa disrespected by management, but we know if the Leafs had offered him a two-year deal, he’d have signed it without hesitation. They didn’t. Marners team just doesnt it known its been only about money. 13.5x8 is more than reasonable

Hopefully, Tree makes it clear the sticking point was tge 2-3 year term. One that would essentially screw Toronto from ever being competitive.

Yup let me squeeze every penny I can out of a team on a short term deal, shit my pants in the playoffs and then yell at my teammates to wake the f*** up. I am sure his teammates will love him. Talk about f***ing a team's salary scale and it's chemistry. I pity the team that signs him and look forward to watching him melt in the playoffs for another team.
