One big question for 3 extension eligible stars

There are some big names entering the final year of the contracts in the NHL, with Mitch Marner, Leon Draisaitl and Sidney Crosby all eligible for extensions. TSN Hockey analyst Frankie Corrado examines one big question each star will be looking at when negotiating their next deal.
#MitchMarner #LeonDraisaitl #SidneyCrosby

[@TokyoAlex]

Sidney Crosby is 37 years old. He has maybe three years left. He doesn't owe Pittsburgh anything. The Pittsburgh trophy case is packed. He won three Stanley Cups in the cap era. Whatever Sid wants to do, no one will ever hold it against him. He could play with Nathan, Connor, or other Connor. He could say, "Who has the best goalie and defensemen? I'm going there." He could go for money. He could give a sweetheart deal to a team. His three years. His choice.

Draisaitl: 100% staying with the Oilers!

[@cindyrussell1581]

Sure hope he stays.

[@ATGAT]

Draisaitl didn't show up for playoff finals... You're excited to overpay him for that?lel mub

Leo isn't going anywhere, the Oilers are on the cusp, and he's happy in Edmonton.

[@joevanbaidwan3196]

Question is will he be happy enough to sign for another 8.

[@UndeadPenutbutter]

@@joevanbaidwan3196 oilers should sign for 6, don’t wanna risk 10-15 mil on a 36 year old

[@RodCalidge]

On the cusp. 😅 good one.😂😂😂.

[@barstar888]

@@joevanbaidwan3196yeah, he already has and playing with 97 seems like a big thing for him.

[@mikeymyke]

Draisaitl's agent has said in an interview a few things that are notable: -Either he signs an extension by end of August or there's no deal -Leon is at least 30% underpaid for the last few years -He's very confident the Oilers can get him signed So to me, it looks like he's a lock for the Oilers as long as they're willing to pony up.

[@rona6063]

They just need to move on from Nurse.

[@biffdanielson2820]

Crosby coming to Colorado!

[@steverobinson8771]

It would be awesome to see Crosby and MacKinnon on the same team.

[@virpip3461]

That would be lovely but I think he stays in Pittsburgh

[@kylet6356]

Would you trade Marner for Crosby? Dubis loves his boy Marner and Crosby can show the team what it takes to win in the playoffs. Who says no?

[@harmangill7509]

Crosby most likely says no to toronto. Hes gunna go to Marchand or McKinnon

[@jokezonu1]

wow. were you ever right about crosby. as a fellow martimer, we don't make work for ourselves. we have enough to work on. and yes, mario has convinced sid that being a franchise player makes you a hero to the community. sid will never have to pay for cabs, hotels, restaurants in pittsburgh, plus it's close to here on the east coast of canada.

[@54ximmortals74]

Leon and connor gonna take team friendly deals to keep playing together

[@Bbbbbvggtttttfcdeeww]

I agree

[@virpip3461]

No, Leon's agent said he has been underpaid so he is looking to get more money

[@mitchellskene8176]

Drai probably stays, I don't see Crosby going anywhere, and Marner must be traded. Toronto can't continue with the core 4, unless they're giving up on a run to the cup this season.

[@rossmartens]

Matthews is way over paid

[@HandShakeLineRespect]

The Oilers won’t make the finals again. McDavid or Drais will be leaving soon.

[@mctoads8230]

Whatever helps you sleep at night man. Toronto won’t make it out the first round as usual

[@tonykung8756]

Drai’s getting his money regardless and the Oilers would be happy to pay anything. Crosby should request a trade to the Avs so he can go win a Cup with Mackinnon. Give the Pens a 1st, 2nd, and a prospect and eat half of Crosby’s salary.

[@starbucksguitarM-jc5oy]

Leon's value will not go up or down on success. He will ge extended before training camp...book it.

[@jeremyhewitt2637]

Corrado your wrong. If marner is doing well, I think they sign him. Hopefully they prove him wrong and sign him soon

[@HabsNation809]

Crosby should go to Montreal next year and then retire.

[@goenzoy712]

Exactly he needs to play for a team in Canada

[@kylenutt7242]

Marner Demanding way more than the others despite by far the worst post season performances. I beg Shanny to let Marner walk so we can get some real players

[@wesgreig271]

Worst postseason performances? Last I checked he led the core 4 in playoff points, playoff points per game and playoff +/-. I agree he hasn't been good enough in a number of post-season performances, but he's certainly been no worse than his fellow overpaid teammates.

[@christopherharte4741]

Penguin for life, get over it

[@cgoodsell3572]

Disagree… it’s better for Sid and Pittsburg for him to be traded to a contender!

[@robdedrick2052]

I Would like to see CROSBY bring a Cup to Vancouver then Retire in Montreal .

[@Bbbbbvggtttttfcdeeww]

Lmfao

[@johndesousa7379]

Leafs should let Marner walk. Marner will want more than Nylander but he is not nearly as good as Nylander. Salary structure just doesn't work. Marner scored 26 goals. He is not worth 11 million. He is a 6 million dollar player. Tops. The reason why he even gets the assists that he does is because Mathews is usually on the end of his passes. The playoffs are a whole different animal and Marner is unable to play tough. That's why he is not effective in the playoffs. 11 million can get us 2 excellent players or 3 good players. Time to balance the team a little better. The only way I would consider keeping Marner and Tavares is if they take a 50% pay cut or better otherwise I wouldn't even consider keeping them. Let them walk when the contract is done.

[@Blind_target]

Can stop asking corrado stuff.

[@chrismckinnon4241]

Wow your opinion on Sydney is very one sided and very personal to you, I get it but hockey players want to win cups Syd is no different, why would he not want to try and win another cup or 2? Unfortunately what you think is irrelevant to what he does, I hope he leaves and wins more cups, look at Perry was there last 4 of 5 years as an aging player chasing cups he was there playing for those cups, Syd would want the same opportunity don’t you think, he already has a great legacy let him build on it elsewhere or you are just too selfish.

[@musicman76enator]

If these guys want 13+ then they cant complain when they have lesser players on their wings. maybe a basic math lesson involving a pie would convince them to take less 13+ million and a worse team with no cup 11 million with a better team and multiple cups....

[@1pbdecoded1pb]

Crosby shouldn't sign with the Pens. 87 should get traded at the deadline for a ransom. For example, 87 (50% retained) to Edmonton for Philip Broberg, Dylan Holloway, and Sam O'Reilly or a 1st. Maybe 87 for a Ryan Nugent Hopkins package. 87 and 97 win the Cup and bring it back to Canada. 87 restocks the Pens with youth and could return as a UFA. 87 should repeatedly sign 1 year deals with the Pens and get traded for the Cup at the deadline if the Pens aren't in. That would fix the Pens roster and give Sid the best Cup chances.

[@54ximmortals74]

Nuge is not getting traded 😂

Crosby should team up with Ovi at least for a season.

2 are playoff players and want to win, one is a super soft winger that only cares about his bank account. Unfortunately 90 points from Marner gets him more than Drasital, Matthews, McDavid etc. No wonder the leafs won 1 round his entire career
