Not What You WANT to Happen, What Do You THINK Will Happen With Marner?

[Goose]

This poll isn't about what you want to happen, or what you think should happen, but what you think is going to happen with the Marner situation.

I have no clue on this one, if I was forced to guess I'd say he leaves as a UFA, it feels like a coinflip whether he's on the roster in 26/27 still or not.

This guy is going no where after the whole hockey world is watching McDavid and Drai muster nothing in the cup finals against the Atlantic.

We will continue to build around the amigos, which is the smart thing to do. Oilers aren't going to blow up McDavid-Drai if they get swept.

put it to rest

 

[TMLegend]

I want him traded or let go as an UFA if it comes to that. I think he'll be re-signed at some point next season for more money than Nylander got. ~12M x 8

They'll spin it saying they looked at the market and weren't happy with any of the offers that they got.

 

[Legion34]

I still think an 8 x 11.625 contract is probably the best alternative. I know it sounds crazy. But you could still get a win

1.) he gets more than Willy and Petey and takes less. It is. When the dust settles people realize that 12.5% of the cap is a discount. He is a 14% player.

The team has 56 to Fill out a roster after the big 3.

I think this is the best asset management move. Sign him. Pay a bonus or 2 to get the real money down and if it doesn’t work trade him.



2.) frank seravalli has been on fire with his takes that he won’t back down from (lehner/utah) etc. mirtle was saying he was at the combine and all the managers were saying Tre is going to do something. Big. They brought in a new ceo.

So because of that I think he gets dealt. I think frank says they are pushing him hard.

My guess was/is Vegas.

I would prefer to NYI for Dobson/seattle for wright and oleksiak.

If Marner refuses to talk extension I wouldn’t mind Carolina for necas 1 for 1.

They would probably do that to only pay 775k

i think ferris knows the only way he ll get a raise ,will be in a tax free state ,his raise will be 11 million in vegas florida somewhere where its not taxed
can u imagine if marner s camp was getting the CRA colonoscopy that tavaras is getting

 

[Anthrax442]

They will somehow botch this.

It’s possible. I post on my phone. So it refreshes but I think what needs to happen is we as a group go through all teams and see if there would be a fit In terms of assets/him willing to sign

Anaheim- easy. They want to take a step. Want a top 6 right shot winger. Have young pieces. Good weather. anonymity high taxes. And far from family.

Gibson and Mctavish?

Boston- need scoring. He plays D. They have room. Would he go there? Would they want him? Ulmark/poitras/carlo?

Buffalo: want to take a step. Need good players. Have tons of D. But also wingers.
He would be local.

Could you bet on power? Would Samuelson and a winger prospect and a pick get it done?

Carolina- probably wouldn’t give him bonuses. They also probably need a C.
But they would probably be willing to do Marner on a rental at 775k for necas.
If he were to sign. S would you get surcharge?

Colorado. Hard to see a fit.

Columbus- need to compete. Wanted him in the past. Close ish to home. But they have a bunch of wingers. If they would do jircek i bet it would work.

Wonder if Johnny hockey would come?

Dallas- would have to retain to get them through this year. Would they do Robertson?
He isn’t as good as Mitch. Gets paid less. Harley would have been my ask last year.

Marner would go there i bet.

Could they do stankoven plus???

Detroit- local. He was London based for a long time. They need stars and have prospects.
Compher and good prospects?

Here's the answers to the same question.

Your answer would be 'B'

Player Discussion - Marner

Lot of discussion on moving on but I'm curious how many of you are confident that this will happen. Question isn't should they? that has been beaten to death. :deadhorse The question is a simple WILL IT HAPPEN?

[LeafGrief]

The two most likely options are that he is traded this summer, or he is re-signed during the season to a long term extension. The third most likely option is that he walks as a UFA. There is pretty much zero chance he is traded during the season.

I don't know which is more likely out of a summer trade or an extension. The team hasn't had any guts when it comes to dealing with the core thusfar and an extension is the path of least resistance, but at some point they're going to shake things up and an extension is committing to more of the same.

 

[Menzinger]

I think it's a lot more vague than many people assume. Too many unknowns, like the current state of the relationship between front office and player, how the player feels about staying in the city, how Ferris actually feels about things. If I had to put probabilities

Over the summer
40% traded 40% extended 20% planning on leaving as a UFA

If he's still a Leaf by camp
40% extended 40% leaves as UFA 20% traded

 

[Arzak]

This is the same f*cking poll we already have . No one asking what we want. GJ team Marner.

/thread

 

[socko]

Marner is not worth anywhere close to $12 million dollars. I wouldn't sign him for that as a UFA. I'm cautiously optimistic it ends soon, but Marner has a say in how it ends. He can drag it out if he wants to.

 

[Suntouchable13]

Unfortunately, I think he will play out the season. We lose in the 1st round again, he walks for nothing. Dubas is an idiot, just like many other GMs who hand out no move clauses to everyone.

 

[TheGreenTBer]

I think ACC1224 posted this exact same thread but anyways, I think he gets re-signed until proven otherwise.

 

[supermann_98]

Since I can't stand the thought of him playing another game in a Leaf jersey I know that's exactly what's gonna happen.

This team does not have the balls to upset all those fortnight playing kids who love Mitch and have his jersey hanging in their room and who cry when mommy and daddy take away their iPad for a few hours

Ah I missed that, yeah kill the thread then, my bad, I didn't see that.

 

[mydnyte]

another Marner thread where everyone is saying the same thing in the 2 other Marner threads :

 

[ACC1224]

Ah I missed that, yeah kill the thread then, my bad, I didn't see that.

I vote, leave this one and close the other.

Perhaps people have changed their minds?

No problem, it happens.

 

[egd27]

I vote, leave this one and close the other.

Perhaps a poll on what we want to see happen with the Marner poll threads ?

 

[ACC1224]

I'm all for whatever helps some continue to lose their minds over this......hugely entertaining once you get past the redundancy.

Hopefully we can dive deeper into the Marner = Clarke Macarthur comparison.

 

[57 Years No Cup]

Team Marner strikes out again.

 

[kevsh]

They will somehow botch this.

Pretty much this.

If they move him this summer, it'll end up badly for the Leafs.
If they trade him during the season, it'll end up badly.
If they wait until the season ends and re-sign him, it'll end up badly.
If he walks next summer, it'll end up badly.

As to the specific question, I think the most likely scenario is both sides agree to see how the season goes before any extension talks. We get through the season with one or both sides preferring not to commit and he eventually walks July 1 after another forgettable season (and short playoffs) where Mitch proves he's still Mitch.

It's not negativity, it's called learned helplessness.

 

[Tak7]

Said after game 7 that Marner was going to stay, refuse to waive, play out the year with Matthews, put up career numbers, and then walk as a free agent - it's the Darren Ferris playbook.

I've seen nothing in the past 6 or 7 weeks that makes me change my mind.

I think egos and emotions and bitterness will play a part here, meaning this won't be a smooth or clean or easy breakup.

They can't/won't trade him this offseason

 

[ACC1224]

Didn't vote, didn't see an appropriate option.

Based on nothing I'm leaning towards he gets moved out around the start of camp.
