The leafs aren't trading Marner

evidently they're not signing him either

I'm pretty sure they send him for that offer too, they get salary relief and pretty close to a max offersheet offer

You guys do realize offer sheets aren't happening right? And he wouldn't sign one to play for the islanders. Tavares left, Lee is probably leaving why would he go there.

Regardless if they don’t sign him they won’t trade him away and take 4 first of any offer sheet he signs. Zaitsev can be traded for a vending machine who cares if he is part of the trade.

You realize that isn't an offer sheet right?

And there's quite a few trusted writers saying that both sides are growing frustrated with each other, and Dubas flat out saying that they might not match an offer sheet should one come.

Relax, it's just arm-chair GM. I'm sure no star player could ever leave your team

zaitsev could fetch some picks he's not worthless you just don't understand his value. Not entirely your fault, just a little misinformed apparently.

I am just simply making the point that he isn’t going to eliminate 2 first as part of the Marner return.

He did fetch some picks. Marner's rights and the risk that he doesn't sign isn't worth all of that on his own. Not your fault that you have a bias, just blinded by it apparently.

The problem with this idea is that just because he doesn't sign with Toronto doesn't mean he doesn't take an offer sheet at a value lower than four firsts if he thinks it'll be a better option for him long term. It's quiet possible he wants a short term 10-11 deal and won't commit 8 years anywhere. If he takes 2/10 offer sheet it's two firsts, a second, and a third. So the idea is if it comes down to that, would you just take that for him, or would Dubas rather dump some salary too?

Nothing less but 4 x 1st

check first post links for variations

Anything over 10.59 is 4 firsts. So if he is signing for less then that why wouldn’t the Leafs match?

Hopefully that works out for both teams should it happen!

Because if the cap is really 81.5, they have 7 mil in space and need to move quite a few players to keep others around. this is a way for them to clear space, and get a pretty good return for something that could happen for a comparable amount.

very few teams will want kadri
few will want zaitsev
Marleau very well could not waive his deal

Matching 10.5 assumes you know for sure you can clear space for it, and for Kap, and to still field a team as good without Gard on D, Kadri, maybe even Kap if they lose him.

The problem i see ( i will go seriously and with logic here, cause like most of those butthurters from your fan base you are dealing with this reasonable ) is Marner was "recruited" for the cause of landing Tavares, then watching how he was hillbillied on Feb and from that reason i think other Teams offer-sheets ( tho i doubt there will be any, if those 1sts would be such a liability to throw around, there would be 7 Offer-sheets each year but they arent, two in last 15 years i think ) would be accepted from him before NYI one....



Horton on LTIR is 13M already. Again...its easier then it looks like....its just about not overpaying the kid

I mean he was just at Matt Martin's bachelor party in Vegas for a week and Matt loves the island. He also gets to come to a team that can very well be his team with Barzal going forward, and it's a team that has very passionate fans, more so than a lot of places. Toronto will never be Marners team, especially now. If he does get an 11.5 - 12 year deal in Toronto, he's going to be ridiculed and whenever he doesn't perform, he'll be ostracized.

We'll see what happens. It's all in fun

Marleau already said he would waive lol, he wants back to San Jose so we trade him and sweeten the deal to buy him out
