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.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.

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.

Here's hoping the Leafs tell him to take his expected Selkes, Molson Cups, one goal against Skinner and 2 ENG in the last 20 games and GTFO instead. That is a 4 goal pace against garbage goalies.

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.

There is zero chance Marner makes less percentage than Nylander never mind dollars , it's just not reality.

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?
I like him to stay but at a good price. If he wants MacKinnon money no thanks and thanks for the memories. How we do in the playoffs has little effect on my decision because it’s a team thing and I can’t blame or praise a single player for the success or failure. It’s all about the value. If we get good value from everyone we will do just fine. Overpay and we will never win. I think there may be resentment in the dressing room. Players making 5 to 10 times less is not a good thing
Both Woll and McCabe extensions already ate into JT’s saving.
Great question.
To me, even AM is not safe if there is another first round exit or a second round exit like two yrs ago.
I know AM, Willie and Reilly got NTC/NMC but that’s the conversation needs to happen and players get traded with them all the time.

If Mackinnon was becoming UFA this season he wouldn't be getting Mackinnon money, same with Draisaitl, McDavid, Matthews.
Cap percentage is all that matters. He shouldn't exceed what their percentages were at the time of signing.
I don't think there is any resentment, all indications are that this is a pretty tight group with Marner being one of the more popular guys on the team.

There seems to be an underlying thought among some that if you don't want Marner gone, you don't want change. That's pretty simple minded, IMO.
Many believe change may be required but not necessarily at the expense of Marner.
