Thread: Offseason Ideas
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jaok3</b></div><div>Do you really think the leafs next season with a similar lineup are a cup contender? If Marner knows they aren't re-signing him and he can go to Vegas or Colorado for example. Why wouldn't he waive?</div></div>

With Matthews, Nylander, and Marner and a good offseason, yes they’re totally still a playoff team imo. The islanders just made the playoffs, they’ll smash that next year.

I also think Marner won’t look at it the same way we do. He clearly loves being a Leaf, and wants to win there. I don’t see why he’d waive to move from the only team he’s played for where he wears an A while in a playoff position just to go to some other contender

Even for the long game, I think his dream scenario is a new contract with TOR. Second to that would be UFA. Last imo would be waiving to go somewhere with an extension to where he doesn’t even get to see what the open market has to offer

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>Have the ducks said they won’t retain on Gibson? I have seen fans say that here, but I have not seen anything suggesting the team wouldn’t. I’d think $2m+ would be needed to get any positive return. If they are selling him for $6.4m, there won’t be much of a market for him, unless Anaheim is adding sweeteners.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>Gibson for 6th
Jones for 4th

If no retention or Zegras included, that’s probably around market prices for each guy. And Devils would likely pass on any Gibson deal without significant retention.</div></div>

I don’t think they need a market for him. A positive return would be great, but if it isn’t there for retention more in the $1.4M range I don’t really see the benefit in moving him and locking up both a retention spot and $2.4M for the next 3 seasons. Just keep him and have him mentor Dostal

The Zegras inclusion isn’t close, there’s nothing of meaningful interest in return there at all
