Unfortunately, Marner appears to be a "Beautiful Loser", similar to his Knights contemporaries, Horvat, Domi and Andersson.
Buyer beware.
Buyer beware.
He's both. A keeper in the regular season, which us why he likely gets picked for TC. But an absolute Bum in the playoffs. Also.....overpaid.is Marner that bad? I admit to only watching about a period and a half of that series.
But yet all the prognosticators have him on Team Canada for the Bettman Cup.
Which is it? He’s a bum or a keeper?
To be fair he isnt even THE guy on the leafs. If he can't even play behind 2-3 elite players who can he play behind???Marner controls the situation with his NMC. Zero chance he accepts to go to another white hot market, especially in Canada, I would imagine.
And I seriously doubt he wants to be THE guy on a team, so there has to be an equivalent or better forward.
The list of teams is not long.
Huge bum since birthis Marner that bad? I admit to only watching about a period and a half of that series.

Rossi + Middleton would probably be my first thought.Jared Spurgeon. His NMC is up this summer. Maybe the heat will be on Marner so much that he will be glad to get out of Toronto, and will waive his NMC?
I'd do jones @ like 30% for marnerChicago will give you Seth Jones, and you don't have to retain anything
Leafs could use both, but the cap numbers aren't even close to working out, and frankly, i'd rather have those two. Marner will be near impossible to re-sign... the guy makes 11M, and will probably want a raise, or at least the same amount again. What do we pay Kaprizov when his contract comes up, 13 million? Faber? Leaving an unhappy Boldy and JEE?Rossi + Middleton would probably be my first thought.
Of course you wouldI'd do jones @ like 30% for marner
On one hand, if all our futures plus Eklund and Zetterlund are off the table, there really isn’t anything valuable you’re offering up (Ferraro? Sturm? Granlund?) so I understand you. But on the other hand, the Sharks really shouldn’t be trading for Marner. I’d explore trying to sign him as a UFA, though.I would trade whatever the Leafs would want on the Sharks roster except for Eklund and Zetterlund. No futures though at that rate in our situation.
Chicago could make sense to play with Bedard.If you trade Marner after july 1st, a team like Chicago could retain for really cheap. His real money after July 1st is only league minimum. So a 50% retain is only 375k in money for over 5 million in cap savings
Chicago could make sense to play with Bedard.
I meant an extended Marner.I think that poster was referring to CHI retaining an extra 50% and moving him to a third team.
CHI doesn't make sense as a landing spot to me considering Marner only has 1 year until UFA, and they would have to give up futures to get him (it's all they have right now).
