<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hawksguy81</b></div><div>Yeah I know. I'm out on Marner Island pretty much by myself among Hawks fans on here. With a $12m or less extension in place, I'd be fine giving up the 3 picks to add Marner. He is a terrific 200 foot player.</div></div>

He's a GREAT player and I agree he's a 200' player that plays the PK and PP units! BUT we need guys that believe in the Hawks...AND show it. At this stage in our development, I can't blame Marner for wanting $12M. As a UFA someone might give that to him. As a UFA no one is losing picks...which is a separate point. Pasta showed through his contract that he wants to be a Bruin. I bet Mikko Rantanan isn't going to hold the Aves over a barrel either. Both of these players are hands down better than Marner. Pasta coming off 61 goals and 113 points...$11.25M 1 year ago. Inflation isn't that high.

***EDIT*** The hardest part about the Leafs players is that not one of the core 3 has ever given a team friendly deal. If they're all market rate deals 100% of the time...it's VERY hard to win that way because you can't build a roster. Kucherov/Stamkos/Hedman...different times sure, but they accepted deals so the team would be better. Shanahan said it as much too! Years ago.
