Marner to NJ only works at one level, and that is an outrageous offer sheet (think 12.5million). Any offer sheet with term Marner does not sign (these new RFAs are taking less term- see Mathews, Ago, Laine ask, etc.) Therefore, you would have to do a high number, such as 11 at 5yrs for the leafs to consider not matching, and then give up the four 1st picks. And even then, Marner might not want to sign an OS he knows the leafs will not match, because his main goal is still to stay in Toronto. It is a leverage play, like Aho did.
