Keep in mind, the total contract is divided by 5 if it's a 6 or 7 year deal when it comes to determining what picks are required.
AKA Marner compensation.
Only in your wet dreams.
Not a wet dream for me at all. Detroit's picks are too high to make it worth while. Colorado is the obvious choice.
You think its smart to over pay a player while giving up 4 unprotected firsts. Well having to sign Rantanen? They're very comparable players so I'm sure he'd want the same money. It would be catastrophic for that team to do that. Lucky for them you're not their GM. Marner is the least likely of any of the Leafs to sign a offer sheet and anyone who doesn't see that is not capable of a critical thought.
4 1st for Marner or they match

If you really think signing Tavares was stupid that says more about yourself then anything else lol.But that wouldn't quite be as stupid as signing a UFA to an $11M/year contract when you've got Nylander, Matthews, and Marner all coming up, right?
Hmm...

Almost like giving John Tavares a massive contract before your star center hits RFA. Or possibly allowing Nylander to hold out a couple months but paying him for the full season at a pretty high tag the season before your better player in the same position hits RFA?
None of that has anything to do with Colorado signing Marner to an offer sheet or anything to do with what I said. It is completely irrelevant. And even if you think those things were stupid none of them cost 4 unprotected 1st. Thus if you think they were mistakes I guess you're agreeing with my post and you'd be beyond stupid to sign Marner to one.
>1% chance he signs an offer sheet and about the same he even sees one.

Four unprotected 1sts would be a good argument for most teams. Which is why most teams with cap space wouldn't do it.
... Colorado + Marner is a virtual guarantee to pick 25 or lower all four of those picks.
I just don’t think Dubas is a great GM. My post was directed at someone saying how it would be stupid for Colorado to pay Marner like that when Rantanen who he said was a fairly similar player would be wanting that type of money as well.
I think the Nylander contract was handled poorly. I don’t think the Tavares signing was dumb, although given the circumstances and the construction of the team, it may have not been the smartest decision in the world.
Why on earth would he sign an offer sheet with Colorodo? Even if they offer him more money his endorsements would dry up completely in Toronto and would make less overall. He would be moving away from the area he spent his entire life growing. Leaving all his friends and family. It makes no sense by any accord. He is probably the least logical player out of all RFAs to be targeted or to sign an offer sheet. Kapanen or Johansson make tonnes of sense and is very plausible. Marner none.
You're happy with 1 goal Tavares when it counts most?Fair enough. I'm a Leaf fan and think he did a poor job as well with both the RFA signing so far. Tavares I'm happy with.
