Sad part is they don’t realize this. They will cave and pay him handsomely. Maybe Marner will save them from themselves and walk away, but I doubt it.
Mitch Marner, Yet Again
- Thread starter SoupNazi
- Start date
Not looking good today but they are not done, until they are done. I won't miss him if they lose to Tampa or Florida and he wants out.
IMO Marner is walking if there is no playoff success. No way does he want to take the heat again and in no way should they run this rotten core back. This is not the National Pond Hockey League.
Marner and Driasiatl are not to be in the same conversation. Mitch can be a better Pker but Leon is breaking Gretzky records in the playoffs. The guy played a series on one leg and produced more than Marner has. Plus he’s won awards also.
Anybody thinking Marner is in the same conversation with Draisaitl is dilutional or a flat out troll/shill and a waste of time responding to. Hell even some of the honest Marner fanboys will tell you this.
The only hope is that McDavid comes here next summer and they reset things around him
The future is already traded away. Thanks Brad

I think they should consider letting him walk. The cap space is more important anyway. You'd be surprised what you can do with two players making $6 or $7m versus one player making $13m, especially if they're forwards.
Before you go running off with your dishonesty like you always do - Drai is making $8M this year, his current contract does not start until next year. He did not sign for 15.9% of a 88.5M cap. It's going to be whatever % of whatever the cap is next year.
Atleast obey your own standards you always try impose on everyone else.
Literally every Marner fanboy except 1 will agree with this.
What'd Drai just score goal #49 the other night? What's that now like 8 straight 100 point seasons? 104 points in 74 playoff games.
They're literally chasms apart.
They are much closer than people here want to admit. One is better at 5v5 and the PK. The other is better on the PP, while playing with arguably the best PP player ever; at least since Lemieux/Gretzky.
How ironic that you're falsely accusing others of dishonesty while being dishonest. Draisaitl is making 8.5m this year, not 8m. The cap is 88m, not 88.5m. Draisaitl signed a 14m contract under an 88m cap, which is 15.9%.
Lol we all know you applied a completely different perspective to the contracts Dubie signed. Rules for thee, but not for mee.
I don't comprehend what you say, do, think or mean. Marner was asked to leave and said no. He is not welcome already. His game last night was one of the worst performances I have ever seen. He is lucky he wasn't booed off the ice.
That's not true at all. Their cap percentages were also their cap hits relative to the cap they signed under, just like everybody else.
That's a pretty misleading interpretation of what actually happened. Toronto wants to keep him, according to everybody involved.
... Mitch we want you to waive so we can trade you for Rantanen.
No.
Ok. We want to keep you, you are important to us.
Ok.
Only you take it that way Dekes
1.) Draisaitl did not get 15.9%. He took 14 million when the 92.5 cap had already been gauranteed based on the escrow being paid putting him in the Matthews/mackinnon range of 15.1%. Since that time the NHL agreed to a 95.5 cap but comparing him to 88.5 is just ridiculous.
Marner would have been a 14% player probably in the pre Covid market. Now it seems like players of his ilk (should slot between Willy and pasta) are making 13-14. instead. Mitch should be above Willy based on history of production. But below pasta.
So 12.89 is a 13.5% aav which should be fair. That would be more than rantanen. They could do his stupid junior number thing.
12.93 or 13.16 x8.
Drai is a much better player and should be paid as such. Mitch waited and saw the cap
Rise so that’s a win for him. Comparing the two is kinda silly.
2.) the idea that Matthews/Marner and Nylander out performed their contracts by a similar amount is nuts. Matthews won 3 rockets a person a Lindsay and a hart. He is top 7 all time in goals by his age. Willy signed for 4 million less than Mitch. He out performed his contract way more by the end, but to be fair over the life of the contract his first year definitely pushed him down. Edge Willy. Mitch got paid more than he should but did live up to it basically. The other two well out performed it
Again. Willy 7 x 6, Auston 11.6 x 5 Mitch 9.25 plus his payback for his bonuses would have been fair. If he took 9.93 it would be different. 1 million off would have been fair.
3.) Mitch has reportedly by all accounts refused to engage in contracts. How do
They push harder? Benching? Cut ice time?

Except that's not what happened... Waiving to trade was only if Marner had decided he wasn't re-signing, so they could get a signed Rantanen to mitigate the loss. Keeping Marner was always their preference.
Then they arent very intelligent. The correct answer was. We are not keeping you unless you sign now.
Leafs punted in round 1 and Rantanen hoisting the Cup as a Dallas Star in June would be so Leafy.
Marners version of. Why so mad, it only game.
Then that would mean Colorado would have traded him to knock them out in round 1.
I love the Knies interview right below. You got the terrible answers up top with Marner and then below you got the proper answers who redirect the questions towards themselves and how they can do better. Media ain't gonna be getting much headlines from Knies, he's a smart one.
You are manipulating the truth as usual.
Do you actually believe anyone is buying it ??
