It's his last under-35 deal. Three years works. After that, year-by-year.

The reported price is fine too. It's neither an underlayment nor an overpayment.

If he took a big discount, haters would still shit all over him.
 
Just listening to Chris Johnson and he mentions that he that Marner isn't looking to be the highest paid player and has no interest in leaving.

He's not leaving. The Leafs will give him mostly what he wants.

It's not all about JT. Marner & Knies will eat up most of the $7M cap increase. If JT signs for $7M, that saves $4M over what he is paid now. But whatcan you get for $4M ? Now,if JT signs for $5M, I think Toronto can get a much better player with the extra $6M than with only $4M to spend.

$4m does not even cover the raises to Woll and McCabe.

As much chance of getting JT for 5 as extending Mitch for 9
Jt 7, Mitch 11, knies 6 is the way it should go.

lol! Lucky for you guys I’m not the GM because that’s all I would offer. I value both equally but I’m playing hardball with Mitch and expecting a discount.

Has nothing to do with me, I just like to keep it real.

I wish Dubas would have taken Marners initial offer of 8.5 * 8, 6 years ago and none of this silliness we've seen this season would have taken place.

The worse case scenario is Marner is the best Leaf in the Playoffs and they lose in the first round. Then what happens?
