So Mitch Marner rejected 11 million x 7 or 8 years back in June. I'm assuming the Leafs accidentally on purpose leaked that to the press. Marner is taking a beating with the fan base and rightfully so. I wouldn't be surprised if the Loafs were actively shopping him right now but who's going to be willing to pay him 11 plus million a year. If I was Marner I'd fire my agent, take 9 million a year and try to win back the Loaf fan base. If he doesn't sign and gets traded the poor bastard will never be able to go home again without being harassed. Agent or not HE Marner gets final say on $$$ & Term. If 11M per Yr ain't enough, fuck him & let him sit!! That's just way too arogant & greedy for playing a sport for ANYONE!!!! Christ 1 year at that & he'd be set for life if he planned it right!

I would take that as well and there are a ton of great players on very good deals (Mackinnon/Sheiffle/Marchand/Pasta etc) The McDavid deal changed everything for the Young guys. Put yourself in Marner's Camp . Hes been as good for the LEafs as Matthews over his first 3 years so why should he take 7-8m per year when Matthews got $11.6/yr. The Problem I Have with Marner is: Leafs offered him 11 million a season for 7 years and he wont accept it!!! To me that's nothing only pure greed from a player with an inflated ego who think's he's one of the best players ever!!..

Great player but come on... He wants 5 year term like Matthews so he can cash in again as UFA.

But I also agree that he should get as much as Matthews. He has played 82 games 2 years in a row. Has more points than Matthews. Why wouldn't he want the same or more. This is not on the agent or the kid. This is on Toronto for giving Matthews too much money.

Bruins games will have a new booming voice on the PA in 2019-20, as longtime PA announcer Jim Martin apparently announced his retirement (via Facebook). Always loved his โTuuuuuuuuuuuukka Rask!โ

No you are wrong, this is now on the kid as he was offered 7 and 8 year deals at 11 million per season. If those deals were not offered I would 100% agree with you but now this is purely on Marner and he is rightfully being vilified for his greed. My buddy is a leafs fan and was a big marner fan but now his stance is go play in Europe or trade him for a defensemen. There comes a point where it is on the player and Marner crossed that line. The leafs have actually been more then fair in this instance and Marner is quite frankly being a diva bitch. Yes the Leafs F***ed up by giving Mathews 11 million but they have exonerated themselves by actually offering Marner 11 per season. Let the greedy little bitch sit for the year.

Scenario - You and your brother work for a company that sells beer Your brother sells 10 cases of beer a day. He also takes 2 days off every month. His salary is 11.6 million a year You sell 11 cases of beer a day. You also work every day. Would you settle for a salary of 11 million? I don't think so. I know I wouldn't.

The 6th overall pick isn't so bad. It is greedy but I don't blame him one bit.

But your brother is bigger and stronger and he projects to sell 12 cases of beer over the long haul. Most of us would wager more on Matthews over the course of his career but it's close and Marner could prove us all wrong.

So Provorov signed for 6 X 6.75 million. That's another measuring stick for Charlie, hope it gets done soon.

Kinda like no one really hit Gretzy it seemed. Gretzky had some Nuclear weapons on his team back then, not many were willing to go that route ..He was very slippery as well a read the game brilliantly..
