Thread: no cap
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMBL</b></div><div>Because it doesn't make them Cup favorites but more importantly, it leads to a short window to compete. Sooner rather than later, they will need a 2C and secondary scoring will likely be an issue, soon enough Pietrangelo's contract is up/he's not as effective anymore and they would also need a 1RD. Their prospect pool isn't deep enough for them to hope to have potential solutions. At that point, Matthews is 1-year away from FA, and is probably sold as a rental for pennies on the dollar, might as well deal him now for a king's ransom.

If you're trading Marner for older defensive help, better be getting a top 6 F as well, preferably a C. If they could, the Leafs would be better off trading Marner for Theodore + Karlsson or Buchnevich + Faulk than trading him for Pietrangelo.</div></div>

all fair points

Thread: no cap
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ledge_And_Dairy</b></div><div>Leafs will absolutely explore an extension before anything else. But I would be shocked if they are willing to even pay him the same amount let alone give him a raise.

I'm not debating the proposed trade at all, in fact I highly doubt Piet would waive to leave Vegas. There will certainly be other offers but it would also come down to where he would willingly waive</div></div>

Pietrangelo played with Tavares..is from the area and just like Marner could be asked to waive his NTC...not saying this happens..im no insider...im a fan like all others on this platform..having fun making mock scenarios...baffles me that people get all tight up in their panties over these roster compositions (not just mine clearly ive seen many comments on other team creations)..and I keep seeing 9 year extension in this thread..he can sign up to 8 years as per cba with team that owns his rights...a point of leverage for the leafs..if he plays out his contract here and we dont resign he can only sign 7 years with another team.

based on his pres conference today im not sure hes going anywhere

Thread: who effin knows
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>justinhollfan3</b></div><div>Well the difference is is that marner is a proven better player than Hall and Larsson is significantly older than when he was traded for Hall, if Marner were to be traded it would be for not one single player and that player would probably be a star calibre player as well</div></div>

i disagree on both fronts
heres my argument
Hall has won a Hart trophy and was a 1st overall pick..Marner is not better at this point.
Larson is a top pair stud RHD at a great cap hit which augments his value.

And of course Marner has a NTC which also lowers his value as does the fact he only hs 1 year left then becomes UFA...
Counter argument? Where do you believe I am wrong and why?
cheers (i am enjoying the banter)
ps we all know that if Mitch doesnt want to waive his NTC he gonna be here another year..id im brad and that is what i am dealt, i pivot and trade rielly to upgrade g or d
