Honestly, I'm excited.

This team has never sold a high end talent in his prime in the 25 years I've been a fan. It seems every other team sells a guy in this situation and gets an amazing return for him.

You do know this is the Leafs and what applies to the other 31 teams does not generally apply to us right? :DD

Is this prudent, or is the change for the sake of change?

Be careful how you answer. It's a trick question
 
Isn't his rumor asking price 8-9.5 million? That's less than Marner's current contract. Marner is gonna want a raise so we're looking at least 11 million for him. If you're asking me to pay one of the two I take Nylander any day.
Yeah,

And this team needs a change, and Marner would accomplish that. He runs just about everything, and we end up playing perimeter pass it around style.

Getting even a decent package for Marner could free up quite a bit of cap, and also force the team to adopt a better playoff style.

Marner was also acting like a little bitch at the beginning of the year. I honestly think he is not a great influence on the team.

I like him as a player, but that's who I'd move on from if we're unloading one of the "big 4"

Tavares.......you don't even ask the guy to waive his NMC, that's just a Sundin situation all over again.
 
Point is to keep best team possible on-top of having flexible cap space. End of the day, if trading Willie makes us better, I'll eat crow, but I'd personally rather keep Nylander over marner , if both players returned similar packages.

You'd rather the player who puts up less points and wasn't nominated for a Selke?

At least he has a M-NTC and not a full NTC, if I'm the vengefully prick that I've been known to be, I'm gonna feed Groosman such a horrible tasting slice of humble pie, players are going to run from his representation. Tre give that greedy agent a punch in the mouth for all of us.
M-NTC clause is for 23/24, so does that mean starts July 1, I assume.
 
The problem is no team is going to give you any value in a trade without having him extended. How many teams out there want to pay his ask of 9 plus million?

So you take the player who is much worse who is likely asking for over 9? Odd.

I wouldn't do that.
Wasn't it between 8-9 mil?
I don't think marner is personally 3-4 mil better than Willi, and this is from someone who owns a marner jersey. That's fine you wouldn't. End of the day whatever either of what we want don't really matter. Whatever works best for us to win is ok, even if it means my idea /plan was wrong when and if whatever happens, happens.

Whatever happens, happens. My life won't be any different and if you're all honest with yourselves, neither will any of yours.

Letting something like a sports team, which you have no control over, have any kind of serious meaning in your life just seems like a really bad idea.

Lot of times it seems quality gets moved for quantity, to get a deal done these days with the flat cap.

I mean yeah this is absolutely true for well adjusted grown adults(should be). When I was younger the things that happened affected me more.

Thank you for, yet again, taking time out of your important life to come to a hockey fan message board to tell us how unimportant our hockey team is to our lives.
