Shhhhh the grownups are talking. Kim Jong Cush
Well you`re certainly not one of those Rob, so shut the fuck up, you Pillock. Your obsession with Marner is ghay and weird. Yep, that checks out.
Also, Twatwaffle? Really? That`s over 20 years old just like the Felica reference. Are you capable of ever coming up with something fresh?
No, it will just be another absurdly pusillanimous response.
You could be bang on. I think he’s young enough and hungry enough he may want to go to a team he sees as having a real shot at a cup now
~Cush29If that’s what he truly wants, why not sign back with the Leafs for $10M? There aren’t many teams that are as close to a Cup as the Leafs that have the cap space to pay him what he seemingly thinks he’s worth. At $10M, (assuming JT takes a similar team-friendly deal), the Leafs have the flexibility to address some of the other issues in the FWD group. Marner would be welcomed back with open arms, (and extended a lot of grace in the future if he continues to disappear when needed), if he signed that deal.
That being said, I have always maintained that I would never expect a player to take any kind of team discount. These guys have short careers, go get your bag while you can.
I think Marner is at the point in his career where he wants to make the maximum amount of money with the least amount of expectations. With him, Columbus is a playoff team, and then he has to live in Columbus. San Jose is a long way off, he can play with Celebrini, and he can golf year round. MVP Whipper
You could be bang on. I think he’s young enough and hungry enough he may want to go to a team he sees as having a real shot at a cup now but then again someone might be able to talk him into being a young leader on a young and up and coming team with all the benefits and so much less pressure etc.
He should have at least 1 more contract after this one (maybe more depending on how long he signs for) so the chance to jump to a contender and try and get a cup if he doesn’t have one as he enters the twilight of his career will be there. A place where he can maximize his earnings (as in his salary I’m not diving deep into all the taxes BS) and have much less pressure off the ice and can focus on his new family and perhaps having it grow might really appeal to him.
He stays in Toronto. Cuck29 eventually loses his mind from the beating HS lays on him daily. – Twat Waffle Supreme
Shhhhh the grownups are talking.
I’m embarrassed to say I missed you saying that or forgot! I was looking at what teams had how much cap space and saw how much San Jose had and thought – wow he would be a good fit there. Sure Columbus has a ton of space too but San Jose vs Columbus?

Are you my alt, Cush?!?! I don’t have a link to it, but I’ve been saying San Jose for a few weeks now.
One thing I know for (almost) certain, he ain’t going to be wearing blue and white next season. – MVP Whipper

Just figured out that if you try to embed code, the post vanishes without a trace. Second time it’s happened now. I tried to embed a copy of the cap space table from PuckPedia and it disappeared. Just like my Hulk Hogan post yesterday.
YES! This is what happened to me the first time I tried to post the Marner pic in a Sharks jersey. I then posted it without the pic, edited the post and embedded the image URL and submitted it again after editing and it seemed to work.
Weird little hiccup in the software I guess?
