he's not getting an offer sheet.

absolutely wild people think he's worth 12.5 million after one season playing with one of the best centres in the league.

I don't really think he is worth money would take my chances on Laine before him... Least he is good for 30+ goals... Some guy getting assists who never scored 30 goals isn't special enough... I'd only really invest the max 4 Draft Pick compensation on a right shot D-man like a Burns or Drew Doughty 5-10 years ago ... Even HEdman or Giordona left shot guys I wouldn't even consider offering them it... Super Mario maybe but not wayne... Since Super Mario made everybody on team better, even guy who scored 50 goals w/ him on line spent rest of career basically in AHL . So unless getting an impact player like that I wouldn't do it... That said teams like Kings can't draft in 1st round or other franchises don't have NHL rigging lottery for them like Chicago/Rangers/Devils to get a top 3 impact type player ...

I don't care what some troll has to think who can't say anything that is beyond a personal attack against myself... "Worst Takes I've Ever seen"... Really, so you just do these little replies attacking me or others without any context... Your stupid icon is the worst thing I've ever seen or take on an icon... Why... Well I don't need any seasons or have to give any details... I have over 1K posts doing mostly 1 line petty attacks...

Basically for somebody slow like yourself on a post that was stated not to be overly serious in its context... I would not be paying max compensation for a player most likely unless it was a franchise right shot D-man in their prime not their decline... That has value, its about supply/demand, Mariner is a guy who has a lot of supply compared to demand... There is a high demand for right shot D-men, especially #1 level who can play 25-30 minutes a game... While other positions there is a lot more supply to meet that demand...

See there is something called supply and demand in economics... You clearly don't have a clue about anything... Nor for having so many posts would I doubt that is the worst thing... Rangers has like 25K posts on here but don't seem to even know where Islanders are playing or that they got a new arena by talking about Barclays which is going to be in the past soon . I would just beat you up if ever said something this stupid to me in person... Oh wait you wouldn't, cuz only trolls live on the internet or under bridges... HOw is that for a take idiot? Don't even comment about me or reply to my posts... You are just trolling me, doing personal attacks without context and have nothing of value to say in the over 1K posts I've read of yours...

Take Care loser...

Lol I'm a troll for disagreeing with your assessments? Okay then. You likely put more personal attacks in this one comment than I have in half of the 1,000+ comments I've left.

You really have to wonder why nobody tried to steal McDavid w/ an offer sheet of around $15M. He's certainly much, much more valuable than Marner and rumors are flying about a potential OS of around $12.5M. As far as the supply/demand argument goes, demand for 90+ point scorers is ridiculously high and demand is almost nonexistent. How else can you land a 21 year old 90+ point scorer from another team w/o an OS?

the player has to accept the offer sheet, and that year the oilers just made it to the conference finals. can't imagine he wanted to leave.

You're right about the player having to sign the OS, but I guess my point is that McDavid's contract sure seems like an excellent value now. He was never available as an RFA b/c he signed a year early, if my memory serves me well. I just can't believe a team would consider $12.5M for Marner given what McDavid signed for. And Draisaitl is probably an even better value at $8.5M. I can see these negotiations w/ Marner dragging on til Sept. or even longer.

It now more than ever seems like Marner is looking for the same exact deal that Matthews got, at a minimum. The term is the big obstacle.Marner seems to want 5 years, like Matthews. SportsNet suggests trading Nylander may be on the horizon. They should've done that last summer. They'll never get full market value for him after the season, and especially postseason, he just had. I just don't know who else they could possibly move. Johnson and Kapanen are signed at such reasonable levels. Maybe they should trade his rights to the Devils in exchange for Taylor Hall and Jesper Bratt.

teams are talking to marner but there's the problem of a) he wants to stay in toronto (big shocker) and b) toronto will match.

also it sounds like term is a sticking point too: https://www.reddit.com/r/hockey/comments/cc9hhh/friedman_on_31_thoughts_columbus_talked_with/

and lmao at trading nylander.
