Columbus, Colorado and New Jersey are also mentioned as possibilities as well. Was it Montreal-specific or general to leaving Tampa at all? Also, ya never know, things can change if negotiations are going poorly. Quote

Trettioåtta Posted July 5, 2019 Report Posted July 5, 2019 Is Marner worth 4 firsts? 5 years @ 10.5 is pretty horrible for Toronto anyway and it is much more palatable if they walk away Quote
WildCard Posted July 5, 2019 Report Posted July 5, 2019 I think if we didn't have Dahlin, or maybe a new GM, or maybe a newer owner, we'd be doing some offer sheets So basically if we were Montreal Quote

Marner is real good but you are totally giving up your future for one player. I just can't seem to get to that place and think: "yeah he's worth the next 4 -1st round picks and our future for the foreseeable future Edited July 5, 2019 by Sabre fan Quote

millbank Posted July 5, 2019 Report Posted July 5, 2019 There does come a time when the building stops and you enjoy the house . Four bottom feeding picks one thing four decent team picks another Quote

MODO Hockey Posted July 5, 2019 Report Posted July 5, 2019 (edited) Risto, 1st and Nylander for M.M ? would that work? or sheet for 11 mil 3 yrs? Edited July 5, 2019 by MODO Hockey Quote

Are 4 20+ picks really worth saving for players who will probably never be as good as Marner? At some point they need to make moves to make the team better now. They have enough youth right now, and it's not like they are going to get older by brining in a player like Marner, they will still be a very young team. He can also make a guy like Sam expendable and might be able to get some picks or prospects back in return to restock Rochester Edited July 5, 2019 by apuszczalowski Quote

If we were going to be picking 20+, I would agree with you. I think "20+" has an extra digit for where I think we pick even with Marner. Not a #1/2 Centre => Not right now. Point, on the other hand, would be perfect. Quote
Randall Flagg Posted July 5, 2019 Report Posted July 5, 2019 No idea where the discussion was for this, and no idea if Aho would have accepted a contract from us, but MTL, if you're going to offer sheet Aho, do it with all capital letters, don't just toss something easy to match. He was intent on 5 years anyway, and CAR has no issue with 8.4 mil. I'd have gone up to obscene AAV to force them to give him to me Stupid Bergevin 2 Quote
GoPuckYourself Posted July 6, 2019 Report Posted July 6, 2019 I'm at the point where I think were getting close to these kids need to start winning now, 1st round picks are great for the future but there is no now, Marner would instantly make our roster better, would we be able to still add Johansson or Dzingel? If so I'm all for it. Quote
