UnRealistic is Toronto fans thinking a NMC is not a barrier in moving a player, thinking a coach meeting with said player is an indication he is going to be moved, having zero contact with a player regarding an extension/trade indicate he’s being moved. It’s thinking when a player has a NMC, that when they waive it won’t be to a few select teams driving down the potential asking price.

Yes, it’s the outside fan base that is out of touch with reality. Would you be surprised if Marner plays for Toronto all next season? Would you be surprised if he walks for nothing? You all want desperately to get value out of him before that happens and everyone sees it.

Let's just talk about the NMC. If he waives it, do you think he isn't going to sign an extension?
