Giving $13m to a playoff disappointment would be such a Rangers move. I hope it happens.

Gunna guess Dubas is in on this for PIT too

 

[tsujimoto74]

*7 years. Toronto is the only team that could give him 8.

 

[DavidBL]

I do wonder if Anaheim would. They could really use a high end scorer.

 

[FSL KINGS]

King's are out. Blake would spend that on Edmundson, Foegele & Jeannot 2.0.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Keep in mind as a UFA he can only sign a 7 year deal.

 

[Just Linda]

Blue Jackets seem like the type of team who'd try for it.

I can’t lie, I’m afraid of that.

 

[Djp]

I’d be scared if a team signed him to such a contract. Screams bust

yea definitely Dubas that's not even a question haha

A lot of money for small player. Playoffs usually hockey a lot tougher sport, as refs keep whistle in their pockets. Hard to win that much money tied up on small player. Has to be big team.

 

[dire wolf]

He's got 50 points in 57 playoff games. Not quite as good as his regular season stats, but hardly a bust. I think any of the big cap space teams could do a lot worse than signing Marner.

 

[Rebels57]

I predict Utah or Seattle

 

[Beendair Donedat]

Hopefully the Leafs. He’s exactly what they do not need.

 

[Heldig]

I predict Utah or Seattle

Dont see Utah doing that. If Marner were a C that would be different.

 

[Leafs87]

He’s a great player you hate to lose but definitely walk away from for 13 mill between ages 28-35. He’s a winger who values himself differently than every other winger and I just don’t think that makes any team better. I think Taylor Hall is a very loose comparison of a guy who simply just didn’t value himself appropriately and ended up finding out the hard way. Skipping over him worked. Not to say Marner isn’t better overall, but Hall was a recent Hart winner when he went to UFA

 

[WingsToPick4th]

Would look great beside Larkin and Raymond, wings need goal scoring so badly

 

[Drumman44]

Would look great beside Larkin and Raymond, wings need goal scoring so badly

I could definitely see this

 

[Miller Time]

Utah or Calgary...

Calgary if he takes the highest offer, Utah if he learns from his Toronto experience and avoids a hockey market.

Very unlikely.

They've got a great group of forwards coming together right now, including elite playmaking and scoring skill. KJ can do a lot of the same stuff. Marner introduces risk into the room as far as the chemistry goes, and also a lot of long term risk with the contracts. They'd probably do better to avoid a Tavares type contract that crowds out home grown talent.

No thanks. Not for that kind of money. But I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t want to come here anyway.

The leafs will sign him. Watch.

 

[DavidBL]

Honestly, Leafs re-signing him makes the most sense, I just can't see them letting him walk for nothing. Probably right that he wouldn't sign here. No one wanted to last year.

He and the leafs deserve each other.

 

[LokiDog]

I could definitely see him in Detroit, possibly Columbus or Calgary. Buffalo would be a sneaky fit… trade some of that high end youth they’ve been stockpiling, like Peterka, Quinn, Cozens, Byram, Power to address other needs and bring in an established elite player - instead of 1 or 2 of the potentially elite players - to play with Tage and Dahlin. Washington is an interesting fit. I could see Colorado being interesting if Rantanen leaves. Marner and Mackinnon could be lethal too. Vegas always seems to be in on these. Seattle would be interesting as he would be the main attraction there.

 

[Iwishihadaspacebar]

The best thing that has happened to him is Matthews being injured as he's had to shoot. The games where he's played with Matthews vs the games where Matthews has been injured this season shows how ridiculous that partnership is and how they shouldn't play together.

October
11 games played together, Marner was 1+11.

November
3 games played together, Marner 1+3.
9 games without Matthews, Marner 7+8.

December
12 games played together, Marner 1+12.
3 games without Matthews, Marner 3+2.

With Matthews 3+26 in 23 games.
Without Matthews 10+10 in 12 games.

Pretty much any team that can afford $13m would be interested.
