I don’t think anybody offer sheets Marner. They’ll talk to teams but in the end there isn’t really a point. You’ll piss off the Leafs (and probably other wimpy GMs) and you’ll either have to pay four first round picks or you’re going to have to slightly overpay Marner to pry him away. The Leafs probably match anything short of $12 mill. Anything above it is too much. This reasoning is exactly why offer sheets don’t happen. I think it's flawed, but it's definitely real. 1 Quote

Well that's on top of the $8M Sam's base salary would already have to have been, and the 2 first rounders you already spent on acquiring him $12M + four firsts = 1 Sam Reinhart at 70 points + 3 other 1st round picks, which can translate to roster players in trades or just drafting them.

Derrico Posted June 24, 2019 Report Posted June 24, 2019 Imagine how far that move would escalate the cross border rivalry? I still ***** hate Edmonton for the vanek offer sheet. A move like that could revive the war of 1812. 3 1 Quote

In 4 years maybe. It all depends on timeline. For a team starting a fresh rebuild, an offer sheet of this magnitude doesn't make a ton of sense. But for a team that already has a foundation in place? Hell yea. Quote
Brawndo Posted June 24, 2019 Author Report Posted June 24, 2019 Signing Myers to that deal and trading a 1st for JT Miller makes me think that Benning is under a make the playoffs or else directive from ownership. 2 Quote

If you already have your foundation in piece you don't need a Marner though, you need 3-4 roster guys to roll more than one line Quote

I think a team can always use a 90-point player. It's the same reason the Leafs are going to keep him even though they also have Tavares, Matthews, and Nylander up front. 1 Quote
Two or less Posted June 24, 2019 Report Posted June 24, 2019 How much $$$ will have Myers made in his career if he signs that? Wonder where he would rank in all-time paid defensemen. Quote

Like, if I’m entering through the ticket gates near home plate and this contract is in the last seat in the left field bleachers with an obstructed view and broken arm rests. Wow, funny post Hoss. Thanks, Hoss. 1 Quote

It was protected in that they had the decision to defer. Someone can correct me if I’m wrong but I think normal lottery protection isn’t deferrable like that. Quote

Yea, most (maybe all) other lottery protection that has been put in is automatic, not discretionary. Also @Thorny way to ruin a most excellent joke! Quote
