I didn't say no negotiations took place. I said the claimed Marner offer is fake, which it is.I provided you with comments by Ferris where states negotiations took place and that Marner being lowballed led to “this point” (postponed negotiations after the playoffs).
You are being intellectually dishonest if you believe no negotiations took place.
Ferris cries lowball at everything, and both Marner and Ferris himself backtracked on that report the very next day, and contradict your claim.
"The next day, Marner was distancing himself from those comments."
"Ferris said the Leafs tabled a low offer last summer, but added that's standard practice at that time of year.
"I think that was taken out of context," Ferris said, referring to the story from Tuesday. "This was a discussion that was about the summer ... where offers are low, which is a normal course of business.
"Since that event, there's been discussions, there's been positive dialogue. We weren't far off when we left and we last ended on a positive note. Everything was good and we agreed, 'Hey, let's wait until the end of the season."'
