Value of: Mitch Marner this offseason (2.5 mil retained)

[dgibb10]

Barring Ferris giving his client bad advice to further built his reputation as a hard ass, all of the bolded are linked.

If he's willing to waive his NMC for a given team, he's probably willing to extend, if the team is willing to extend him at a number he excepts, they clearly value him highly and aren't troubled by his playoff foibles. That list of mutually agreeable destinations might be small, and that will limit things, but there's no reason to expect outside of the range of recent/semi recent Forward trade & signs

Examples of recent trade and signs (extension done within days, unsigned RFA or 1 year from UFA only)

• Turris for Girard, Kamenev, 2nd
• *Stone for Brannstrom, Lindberg, 2nd
• Pacioretty for Suzuki, Tatar, 2nd
• Debrincat for 1st, 4th, Kubalik, Sebrango
• Dubois for Vilardi, Iafallo, Kupari, 2nd
• *Meier+5th (and stuff) for 1st, 2nd, 7th, Zetterlund, Mukhamadullin, Okhotiuk
• *Horvat for 1st, Beauvillier, Raty
• Tkachuk for Huberdeau, Weegar, 1st

* denotes deadline(ish) trade

Including RFAs is wild, not the same at all.

Also none of them had 11 mill AAVs and full NMCs

Everyone is real quick to give shit to Marner for Leafs not performing in the playoffs, but the truth is he has has 11 goals, 39 assists and a plus-minus of +10 in 57 games in the playoffs in his career.

Which other team has a player with similar stats in postseason, while being a 100point player in the regular season that fans will say "yeah ship him out, hes the problem"?

Im not saying Leafs should continue with their initial plan moving forward, but people suggesting Marner is some kind of bum who has no value are just batshit crazy. If Red Wings got Marner i would be just f***ing laughing and dancing around with joy, dude is one of the best wingers in the world.

Edit: Not for 14million or something absolutely ridiculous that Toronto probably offers him, but like in normal numbers.

8x10 for Marner, yep lets do it Stevie.

There's no upside for the Leafs in trading Marner.

They need to dump Tavares and make a deal with the devil aka Darren Ferris to sign Marner.

I love Tavares and can't stand Marner and his agent, but that's what needs to be done in the best interests of the Leafs. Brutal outcome, but necessary.
