As long as your needs align with the needs of his donors, absofuckinglutely.

You have 7 years of nerdies related to how Marner plays in games that matter and you also have the one playoff series win to show for it.

Regular season Marner is elite. Playoff Marner would have to aspire just to be mediocre. So it depends on what you want to spend your money on. Does a team with Matthews, Nylander and Tavares "need" Marner's regular season production to make the playoffs? Probably not. And since he does nothing after Game 82, well, why have him at all unless he's cheap? But Marner isn't cheap. So I don't know why this is even a question.

Trade him.

Can't trade him, he has a NMC.

Also, that's a bit harsh. On the whole, Mitch has been fine in the playoffs, but only just fine which isn't fine when you're making 8 figures a year.

Well, McDavid did get to a Stanley Cup final...I think?

Hrudey trying to breakdown footage after a 5 scotch lunch is really tough to watch.

And I mean that as a joke but also with legit concern. That guy does not sound or look like things are under control.

Maybe we shouldn't pay him like he is then? Just a thought...

now imagine we had to play Italy or China in this thing.

The Brazilians and the Germans would have said the same thing about our footy team until recently, no? The Americans and Spaniards about our basketball team, etc.

As a % of cap on signing, he will get less.

 

[Pwner]

The next 2 teams are: Russia and Team Europe

Fins are boring.

The difference between 13.5% and ~15% is pretty trivial when you're half the player they are.

With that said, I'm not sure Mitch's ask is going to be much less at all than Nate's current 15.1%

I'd love to see McAvoy covering Marner on Thurs the way he covered McDavid

Bottom line is that the Leafs dont need him so long as this is all they're going to get from him in big games. Not at the minibar price his agent is going to demand.

Ask him to waive and try to get something.

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

Well, McDavid did get to a Stanley Cup final...I think?

He got there basically by himself.

I dunno. Are you a property developer?

He didn’t stand up to Musk for 24 hours

I assume that the cheque cleared
