Ok. Dubas needs to end the sheraide with this kid marner. Sign him for 11.5 for 6 years. When he signs, you trade him the next day to Columbus, because we all know they want him he just doesn't want to go there. They were willing to go to 12.5 for 7 years so they will take him at 11.5 for 6 years for sure. They want something to replace the loss of Panarin for their fans.

Therefore here is the trade:
Toronto trades; Marner, lylingren and 2 7th round picks in 2020
To
Columbus for; Darnell Nurse, Josh Anderson
Cap out- 12.4 million
Cap in- 7.5 million

Offer to marner to sign that offer at 11.5 for 6yrs with Toronto ends July 31st at midnight.
He gets his money that his daddy and agent want and he gets screwed for not speaking up and making a decision on his own. See if daddy likes flying to Columbus 3 times a week!

Columbus might have a hard time trading nurse.

Why don't Calgary make that offer for Tkachuk, or Tampa for Pointe, or Boston for McAvoy, or Winnipeg for Laine, because they are all in the same boat as Toronto. Its not unusual for RFA's to not sign during the summer and wait for training camp.
This is the reason Toronto is its own worse enemy. Marner is a heart and soul player and wants to play nowhere else. He is trying to get what he can but fans like you are disgusted with him for it. I am sure the fans in Tampa are following Pointe's every move until he signs - yeah right - and you wonder why he is not leaving there.
The media has nothing to report so to keep their jobs they are throwing whatever they can at Marner to ensure their ugly mugs get on the TV.
Its July 16, for gods sake, turn off the media till mid September and enjoy the summer.

No need to include Liljegren. Marner and a couple picks should be enough. We can give them better picks is fine. Or a lower b-prospect like Hollowell or Duszak. But handing them our top RHD prospect player is going too far.

Gotta like Seth Jones. Playing with Rielly, I would be inclined to say it would be the best top pair in the league.
