Sujet: What IF Marner doesnt play a year
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>With the Leafs defence this year and no cap even with a signed Marner, I thought the Leafs would be a playoff race anyway. Without Marner (and Hyman and Dermot) missing the playoffs is good possibility.
Marner was outstanding as a PP RHD. Barrie was obtained to fill that need.
Leafs really can't spend the Marner cap money because they have can't spend it with possibility he will return by December 1. Maybe Gardiner and someone other UFA signs in December.
Marner doesn't win at all financially now or in the future by not signing an NHL contract this season.</div></div>

It unfortunately looks like Marner will HAVE to be signed before the start of the season if he wants to play this year. The leafs don’t have the cap flexibility they did last year to Pro rate his contract like they could with Nylander. They would have to dump Ceci and maybe someone else to fit him in by Dec 1st. So they need to figure this out soon or the Zurich Lions look like they could walk their way to a Swiss league ship.
