LeBrun chats all things NHL with camps opening up

Are you surprised Mitch Marner declined to take questions about his contract? What do you think ends up happening with Marner? How will the Oilers handle the hole left without Evander Kane? Could the Bruins begin the season without Jeremy Swayman? What are the Stars plans for Jamie Benn? How do you think the Canadiens feel about their goalie situation? TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun joins SC with Jay Onrait to discuss.

Its not difficult at all, stop babying these guys, a soccer player in the 3rd league in their country have it way harder than these guys. God forbid he has to answer questions every now and then, he definitely doesnt make enough to ask him to do that much

MSLE willingly falls into this difficult situation, allow the players to gain leverage, and procrastinating on decision making. You can only blame management for staying stagnated for the past 2 seasons without any determined actions. They are going to overpay Marner or let him leave for nothing, or they might trade him for undervalued assets. It's a losing situation no matter which ways to take.

Unless he re-signs for 8-9 million. Ha!

[@biglemoncoke4095]

​@@kingdavid7571 We all hope so, but wouldn't that be already done in the off season if 9m was the asking price. MLSE has no leverage and no bargaining power whatsoever. But there is another possibility, Leafs wins the cup in upcoming season, it justifies Marner huge contract extension, or he choose to go to another team just like the Kawhi Leonard situation.

Like it or not .. the media will focus on this story all year.

Marner is a big baby

[@ljavwa3459]

"Big" is generous

Let this playoff ghost walk… it opens the door for a possible mcdavid to the leafs in 2 years

[@YP-jp9ck]

Ready for Marner and Tavares to leave Toronto. The team needs a shakeup and arguably as importantly, they need cap space to bring in new players.

You sport casters are gonna drag this on for months find some real hockey news not speculations

[@robb412]

Mitch: "we don't talk about contracts" is a greedy child. He'll never take a hit to make the right play. He's a prick that's only concerned with padding his personal stats.

Guys who get their lunch from a coffee truck are amusing. Mewling like a kitten sucking on a hind teat...like someone stole their Christmas presents. Understandable, for 12 year old kids. For adults? Jeeze...embarrassing

[@slushguy8398]

Game 6 VS. The Habs in 2020 summarize Marner’s career. Can’t win with a player like that.

[@timmanto1022]

So marner at 13.25 million and JT at 6-8 million?

[@oilerssixpack2629]

Marner copying McJesus Marner not worth the hype an especially the money he wants

[@knganth3m]

Exactly, what crybaby loser, can’t wait until the leafs don’t want marner for any amount.
