I’ve been banging this drum for a minute. Give me Stastny.

Separately...

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.

But signing him to $12 and forcing the leafs to match is just right.

Would you pay $4M and two 1sts to upgrade from Sam to Jack? I sure would. 

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.

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.

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

Agree to disagree. 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.

That’s in the ballpark of what I’d pay him if I’m being honest.

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.

It was protected, no? They deferred it from the 2018 draft. 

 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.

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!
