lol

There is plenty of cap to get Marner done first you have 24 players on your roster. 2nd Marner will get less than $10M don't drink the TO media cool aid

Why does Marner get 11m plus? The very comparable Aho got 8.45. Even if Marner got 11m, all the Leafs have to do is make a trade to be cap compliant. Gee, I would expected a better post even from first timer.

Marner's agent already said he doesn't care about the "comparables". They're only using Matthews' contract as a comparable. So it's likely they get a bridge deal now

Actually they can sign Marner still. During the off-season teams are allowed to go 10% over the cap, that gives them an allowable extra $8.15M. Then they can make trades or place Hyman and Dermott on season opening LTIR (screws them long term but it helps temporarily) to be cap compliant for opening night..

If you're at least going to troll, know your facts so you can do it right.

That was also when he was using the Offer Sheet threat that totally blew up in his face. Ferris is a goof and he burned himself. Its very telling he's been so quiet since the moment he was able to talk to other teams. No one is giving him 10+ so the offer sheet threat is dead and now he has to negotiate in good faith in a reasonable way, or Marner can sit the entire year which I highly doubt he does. Ferris messed up.

Matthews is comparable to eichel mackinon ROR when it comes to being a ppg player. Goals he compares to Ovi kucherov or Tara? How close to those guys did he sign?

Marner isn't getting 10+ per season especially after Aho and Meier's signed for much cheaper. If it's a bridge 3 year deal I wouldn't be surprised seeing a deal worth around 7 million. If it's a 5 year deal I think he'd get a little bit over what Aho got and go for around 5x8.75 a year.

People who think Marner is still getting 10+ are delusion and by in to the media click bait headlines. If they want to use Matthews as a comparable whatever, that's their strategy but the Habs already set the market with an offer sheet. I've been saying this for two weeks, Marner will likely sign a bridge deal 2 years at 8M and re-negotiate as an RFA when the cap floor is higher after the expansion.

He won't sign somewhere else. Look at his Instagram page, its pretty much an endorsement page. You can't watch one leafs game without 2-3 Marner commercials per intermission. The kid is making bank.

He wants 11.5 mill. smh

And ofc he will get it....cause Negotiations is town in New Zealand and player always gets the sum that he comes with into the GM office......think again.....

he can hold out and get offer sheeted bud.

Really ? OS again....let them...i hope it will be Bergevin also this time....

Ah, you are NYI fan....everything is clear now....

I told my boss I wanted a lambo for a company car and I got a VW Jetta. No other company would give me the lambo either, so after I seen other employees of my talents not get a lambo, I decided to take the Jetta because I love my job.

whats wrong with the isles bud?

ok...... Marner can take 11.5 to play on the island with his best friend Matt Martin.

aaaaand here it comes......

here what comes lol

Lou would NEVER EVER pay a player that kind of salary. The guy is too old school. Nor would Islanders ownership harm their future like that.

But if you want to keep dreaming like that, we'll take the four first rounders and enjoy the lottery picks.

Just because Matthews and Nylander who overpaid (IMO), doesn't mean the Leafs can or have to continue the RFA tradition. The only leverage Marner has is an offer sheet or to not to sign with the Leafs. Sure Marner and his camp can argue Matthews....Leafs can argue Aho, and Kucherov. Still to come Point and Rantanen more comparable.

Fair point can’t argue w that
