If that’s what he truly wants, why not sign back with the Leafs for $10M? MVP Whipper
I think all of Leafs nation would be overjoyed for him to take a 1M pay cut to re-sign but that ain’t happening. lol
well, I hope Lalonde has good thing to say about the Leafs now.
Right? He did have some as the series went on but I felt like it was far outweighed by the negative. It’ll be interesting now to see if his great insight into all the things wrong are fixed since he now technically owns some of the responsibility of trying to fix them.
I didn’t like him in the playoffs on TV and I’m not sure he’s the right guy but I guess we will see. I know he was an Assistant coach in Tampa when they were a powerhouse but I feel like he got a lot of credit for someone else’s (Jon Cooper) work.
He wasn’t good in Detroit IMO.
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.
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
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?
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?
Thanks Scabby.
I tried that in the post I wrote about Marner and the Sharks but for some reason it didn’t work.
Seems to work fine when I did it on it’s own.
Weird.
Annnnnnnnnnnnd now it works. lol
Sigh – and sadly I see no delete button for posts so sorry for the double / triple post!
I took 2 magic 8 balls and smashed them together to make #16 and this is what they told me:
Mc Marner to San Jose on a big time overpay, maybe even close to max cap space deal (20% of the cap) to be the face of the franchise & made captain (Since Logan Couture announced his retirement in April) with Cellebrini so for next year 20% of the cap is 19.1M I could see San Jose making Marner the highest paid player in the NHL.
Sharks are projected to have nearly 42M in cap space this year.
Yes I’m being silly with the max cap space thing but I could totally see San Jose making a serious offer to make Marner the highest paid guy in the league and maybe give him the C (for sure he would get an A).
