WollCap works. Get (frank)ed Marner….and your $14M. :yuck:
Why in the hell would bennett leave Florida to play for the leafs? Why? Unless the leafs grossly overpay….and then why would you want to do that?
Where are the leafs getting the assets to trade for any of the players you mentioned?Lose: Rielly
~Underhill14You lost me at step 1. How are you going to move an overpaid, underperforming, trade protected, contracted for the next decade defenseman?!?

From what I heard on the radio (so take it with a grain of salt), MLSE wanted to get a deal done before the trade deadline. Marner’s camp said they weren’t talking new contracts until after the season, so MLSE felt they needed to protect themselves by trading him. – Wedgie
It’s plausible, but not sure it makes a whole lot of sense.
If the leafs knew this all long, and were concerned, they could have found a trade, even a decent trade, for him. It is not like teams aren’t interested. They were not necessarily up against the deadline.

It’s a tough line to be sarcastic enough and not piss off some fans that might think you are serious 😆
– Symba007Wedgie was the Master at that.
A couple times a year he would suck people into believing his schtick about trading away young talent to get some experienced vets on the team for leadership. It got a few people, every time 😆
That Pettersson (sp?) contract looks horrible. -Aetherial

~Atomic WedgieJeez, that might have backfired spectacularly for Marner. First, Rantanen signs at a VERY nice number for Dallas, absolutely tears it up in the playoffs, and then Marner does his typical disappearing act when the games start to mean something. Sure, someone is going to pay him, but I genuinely believe he wanted to spend his whole career in Toronto.
Honestly, I think he winds up in San Jose. He can do his fancy pants shit all day there, not have to worry about the playoffs likely for a few years, make a boat load of money, and have no pressure at all.
Do you think there was an offer on the table for Marner to sign? If anything, I’d imagine MLSE was waiting to see how the playoffs went before giving him all the money x8 and trade protection.

Yup, you could be right…maybe MLSE held off. But from what Ive heard on the radio etc, if marner came with a reasonable offer to sign the leafs would have done it. Its just that it seemed they were too far apart initially.
Meh, its a business, marner could have signed at anytime during the year. He chose not to.
Managements mistake was not waiting until the deal with the Canes was 100% confirmed, they jumped the gun.

My uneducated guess is that management asking him to waive his NTC changed everything – the organization has no loyalty to him, so why should he feel any loyalty to MLSE?He’s gone.

Either way, Marner can take his 90+ reg season points and fack off.Unless he shows up and propels the leafs to two more wins in this series.
Either way, I wont be watching tonight.
