Player Discussion Mitch Marner, Yet Again

[notbias]

True - recent performance is much less relevant than career. That's why Gretzky is still the best player available as FA.

Pointless and silly argument.

Ok, Marner is the most clutch player in the NHL, OT winner and then 2 points in the finals including setting up the game-winner, doesn't get much better than that, pay the man, those are his most recent results in big games.

I think you are likely right that it will be a shorter-term, but it will be with the Leafs. The team will ultimately cave to whatever number/term gets him under contract. There is no circumstance under which they will let him walk.

What if you knew you could get McDavid the following season. Save the cap space and roll the dice, unless we get a deal too good to refuse.

This isn't the NBA. The Leafs aren't going to let one of the best players in the league walk for nothing on the tiny probability that McDavid may be available a year later.

Probably not, but Marner may choose to leave on his own accord.

But what if you knew you could get mcjesus and cap space isn’t nothing.
Nothing would be, Mitch moves on but we still have his cap hit.
