I’d love the Islanders for eternity if they submitted a (GREAT) offer sheet on Marner. Need to make cap room though. Only got about 9M right now
That seems like more than the leafs want to give, I'm sure they could make more moves to get it up tho
Those first round picks would likely never be lottery picks or decent picks. That team with Mitch and coached by Barry would be solid at the very least for the next four years. It’s not like Toronto would be getting a pick in the top 3
The isles also kind of have leverage because all they have to do is give the most out of the other teams, who else would give him more than 9? Also how could Dubas even match unless he makes some moves?
Random but I was listening to DP show, Jack Hughes sat next to Sandler at the Yankees game yesterday. Sandler really complimented him hard. Now make the playoffs, again.
Marner is easily worth 9, even 10 could be justified. If he signed a 9m offer sheet, we’d match without hesitating. But he never would ‘cause he/his father/his agent are delusional, bloodsucking leeches.
Deadline is December 1st. If an RFA is unsigned by that date, they’re ineligible to play until the following season. One thing I don’t recall is whether or not RFAs can still be signed after that deadline, but they can’t play anyway so it’s kinda irrelevant.
That was the big Nylander hoopla last year right? He was an RFA and it got down to the last hour or whatever available to sign to play the rest of the year?
The last minute actually. Deadline is 5 PM EST, contract was announced at like 4:57. Shit was a nightmare.
point saying he wouldn’t sign any offer sheets because he wants to stay in Tampa is boring. Team chaos needs to take control.
"Please hockey organization in which I fully trust and play for. Please force me to sign a lowball offer."
mentions NJ and Philly I dont think it ends up happening but its very weird that so many different media people are bringing up NJ for an offer sheet potentially
