Sujet: Where does Marner Go
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Stadel</b></div><div>I genuinely believe if Sabres ownership wasn’t bleeding financially they’d be all over making a huge splash for marner.

Aside from his full no trade, that’s the major obstacle imo. I’m not sure how they give him the contract he wants.

The other concern is even if they could/would meet contract demands, how does the locker room react to him making so much more than guys like Tage? There’s a reason the devils held firm on not paying Meier and Bratt so much more than Hughes. Sabres did this once before and it burned them.

In a different world this is a spicy idea and good for all things rivalry related. Alas, in this one it’s unlikely to come to pass.</div></div>

Not sure they'd be interested in paying $10-11M for a winger who is more of a set-up guy than scorer, albeit a pretty good scorer. Look at how much unwarranted grief Skinner is getting for his $9M contract, one he signed at the same age as Marner with more goal scoring credentials (second to Stammer in goals/60 [min. 550 games] and 5th in EVG behind Ovie, JT, P. Kane, Stammer [min 550 games.] Those nine seasons feature one 40-goal season and three 30-goals seasons including a Calder Trophy-winning campaign with 31 goals and 32 assists.

Sabreland is hating on Skinner who post soccer idiot is second in goals (92,) first in EVG (71) and is only 0.02 goals/60 behind Tage.
