Lol of course they are.

and here we go...

On paper, an extension may be more attractive to sides interested in trading for him, especially if the Leafs are looking for a better return. But can't say I understand the Leafs management very well, so ...

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

Can't wait for all those joyful Leafs fans in this thread...

 

[Sasha Orlov]

Please make him the league’s highest paid player

 

[Canovin]

Probably have their mind set on moving on with Tavares

It worked for Edmonton this year no?

 

[Realgud]

Why would they want to get rid of a God anyway?

Max salary for 8 years. Get it done so Mitchell can pay his entourage a livable wage.

 

[SpezDispenser]

lol. Please do. I need a distraction from being a Sens fan.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

14 mil would be sick. He deserves it.

To be fair, a Marner extension is better than a bad Marner trade where the Leafs wind up with egg on their face. This may be an admission that they - the Leafs' brainstrust - cannot make a trade which makes sense, given the limits of finding a team which will make a reasonable trade - and which is a team Marner will agree to go to.

No big changes coming till next year after the Tavares contract expires. They will sign a few D men, maybe a forward and get a goalie this year......

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

They're gonna run it back until Matthews, Marner, and Nylander are 38 years old.

Perhaps true, but the word "mouthpiece" also comes to mind.

 

[oXo Cube]

I would imagine they're circling back after floating his name in the trade market and getting a bunch of mediocre offers of packaged future assets in response.

How these things tend to go.

 

[Grand Admiral Thrawn]

If a chump like PLD at 8.5 million per can be traded, maybe leafs think marner at 12 million per could be traded?

Ottawa lol

 

[Kaners PPGs]

So if this is true, Treliving would have extended Matthews, Nylander, and Marner.
