I'll try another approach. I'll just repeat most of legion34's post which you liked:
1.) we don’t know if he thinks one is slightly better than the other.
2.) all reports are that mikko would have signed here, Dallas or Florida. Rod said there was a 4th team. Don’t know who that was
3.) Marner has not talked contract. Mikko would have.
So would you trade a guarantee of 8 years of mikko for Marner if he wants to leave?
Even IF we like Marner better, I take 8 years of mikko now before “let’s hope for the best in June”.
Interesting, that's pretty well what I said which you disagreed with then doubled down on, over and over.
While being hilarious, you are disingenuous, can't think and not worth engaging with.
