He's got two cups he's setting up his retirement account with this last deal. He'll sign somewhere else to chase the dollars - and has earned it.

It’s the smart play, he’s accomplished pretty much everything at this point in his career, he’s never been properly paid so go fix that my friend……..

 

[The Shadow]

Remember when every young player made us look foolish in negotiations ?

It’s nice to see that changing hopefully

Don't forget to run a hate campaign on "Matthews" Knies when he bridges for 8M.

Bridges at 8?

If he's at 8, it's for more than 5 years.

The rumour a week ago was that he was going for $8M for 3-5 years.

Well, now we know why he's not signed yet.

 

[TMLAM34]

3/4 years - 6.5 million per
5/6 years - 7.5 million per
7/8 years - 8 million per

Would be my ideal targets for a Knies extension.

 

[Americanadian]

Anyone thinking Knies is taking under 9 on a long-term deal is due for a reality check.

I’m a believer in the 3x6.5.

Why would a team like Utah or Detroit not offer sheet him at 5x9.3M for the cost of a 1st/2nd/3rd?

They may but then he has to go live in Utah or Detroit

8

He would be the first American born player who prefers playing in an American city.

8

I don't know if I want him for that, then

The puckpedia numbers I've been going with is 7.9x6

8x6 probably isn’t far off.

Basically start at 9Mx8 and subtract 500k per year.

how the f*** did the bridge get that high?? two weeks ago the convo was 5-5.5m for a bridge and 8-8.5m for long term

Lots of people throwing Coyle’s name around, just realized he has a modified NTC and it wouldn’t surprise me if the Leafs are on it.

It’s going to be hard finding someone who can slot into that second line center position.

I have no faith that Treliving will do any better with Knies then he did with Nylander. I am not sure he had the choice but we won't know until we see him cut a deal without Shanny leaning over his shoulder. Changing the DNA might be no different than "everything being on the table." If they can't sign him in the next week then trade him to Utah. The risk of him becoming an offer sheet target is too great to screw around and they have to stop paying the ridiculous Toronto tax on every good player.

 

[ULF_55]

45-25-2 without Matthews (104 points per 82 games, slightly worse than this season's result)
21-17-5 without Marner (89 points per 82 games, misses the playoffs this year)

3-team NTC after July 1st.

Toronto, Ottawa, Winnipeg ...

 

[TMLAM34]

3-team NTC after July 1st.

That’s not bad, you’d hope there would be 3 other destinations he would not want to go to. I still don’t really see Colorado looking to move him so soon, I think they’d rather move Colton/Wood.

 

[Tony Romo]

Coyle's thoughts may change with having Carlo and potentially Marchand here.

 

[58 Years No Cup]

He's a popular guy around the league.
Players will take notice of how things ended here, not only with him but with how the team was treated in general.

Do you have any concrete evidence that Marner is a "popular guy around the league"?

 

[LeafChief]

Marchment just got traded to Seattle for a 3rd and a 4th.

Would be cool to be able to do these deals if we didn’t trade every single asset for marginal upgrades

(I’m talking about trading our first and second rounders, so it becomes more of a need to hold onto our later picks)
