If i was in dubas shoes, if mitch comes back at 11m for 7 id tell him no, the deals 9.5m for 5-6 years, if he doesnt take it then dump him in europe where he gets 1m maybe, youll miss a return on him but then youll be able to sign muzzin and barrie and keep the team together and it shows the rfas they cant push teams around

I agree losing marner for nothing isn't horrible. It means you can develop rookies, sign other players, keep your existing talent and give out performance bonuses. 3 players at over 10 or 11 million an piece will never win the cup in the cap world. Hockey is an team sport

Yep, the fuckin players in the NBA and NFL are taking over and it's chaos.Players have too much power.The only solution is the cap should be higher. But Marner's camp knows Seattle money coming to the league and Leafs plus a new Tv deal will bring more money. Leafs can offer bonus money upfront plus incentives if over 90 points $2 million in cash. Marner will easily make money on endorsements but his agent won't unless his agent is negotiating endorsement deals. Can't Dubas offer Marner agent a cottage in Muskoka lol.

@SharpPwner Marner also had Tavares on his line all season with 47 goals. And Matthews had much less help on his line. That shows Matthews is able to carry the load of a first line, Marner needs Tavares. I don't think Marner gets 68 assists without Tavares on his line. I also think Matthews has better projections, this is why nobody would be happy to pay Marner the same as Matthews. It's just facts. Marner deserves a pay day, but not the amount he is asking for.

Mitch Marner is NOT a team player. It’s evident in this fiasco. Part of the reason why the Penguins have a handful of Stanley Cups in recent years is because Crosby took a bit of a discount. You do what it takes to win. Some of these younger guys are divas, and Marner is one of them.

I am so glad someone can actually say that on open media. 60% or more of Canada is below poverty and these guys are making over $100M CAD, shit I played goalie an my parent passed away and could afford to play after that, I ended up taking care of my mom for over 20 years until she passed, I would play on Toronto for the love of the game. Absolutely ridicules what these guys want to play the game that is loved by every Canadian people.

[@coreys2650]

O-Dogg you absolutely nailed it. I'd say 3 options Mitch, 11x7, 11x8, or Switzerland. And I'd add to that, if you don't sign before opening night, you're missing the entire season and you can sign for 10x7 in 2020/2021.This is getting ridiculous.

Anything in the $11/per any season should be off the table.....7,8 and 9 on a three year deal..... and it's on the table for 24 hrs.... After that..... Swiss cheese......or sit.... But the next deal is 5 years at 6.5..... and then you see how he plays..... If crap.... Trade him.....with that contract he will go.....everyone else out there is waiting on the Leafs to settle the RFA situation.....so Toronto should force the issue and then those other guys will see what's in the wind.....
