SKINNER!! I mean MARNER!!

Someone needs to introduce Marner to capfriendly.com.

A lot of shit needs to happen before they can even THINK about signing him. No matter what they ultimately feel he's worth. They have 8m in space on an 83m cap.

Just crazy to me that we are in a world where one team can have 33m tied up in 3 guys soon. I mean every one is a stud, but damn.

Not to steal BBB's thunder, but KILL THE CAP!

Leafs might need to trade John Tavares to the Flames for Sean Monahan. That 4.625m in cap savings could come in handy this off-season.

The Jackets can save them even more with Boone Jenner.

True, although the Leafs don't want to trade him to a conference rival.

If someone wants to give the Leafs 4 first round draft picks and $10 mil in cap space for Mitch, please also trade for Taylor Hall.

Pittsburgh Penguins Jim Rutherford: 'It was either Jack Johnson or Olli Maatta' - TSN.ca


"It was going to be either [Jack] Johnson or Maatta to open up the necessary cap space and open up the logjam at defense. And as it turned out, it ended up being Olli.”

BECAUSE TO COMPLETE A TRADE TWO SIDES HAVE TO AGREE

Yeah when I read that I laughed my a$$ off. Really GMJR who in their right mind would want Jack Johnson for 4 years let alone anywhere near the ice during a pick up beer league game late on a Sunday evening.

Pens fans:

Wishful thinking....wishful thinking....

Yeah. No way will there be a lockout.

Are the Flyers fucking insane?

If Hayes is worth $7M then Marner is worth $13M. So much better at everything.

/Marner isn't actually worth $13M.

Part of me wonders if he is just sitting in his lake house up there in Ontario knowing he is going to sign in Columbus. He's just been watching the chaos and slowly smiling more and more.

He has said that he thought the Sens offer was "fair", and that was rumored to be 8x8. He just wasn't sure that he could trust the direction of the team. He also said in an interview last week that all of this "who I grew up rooting for" and "love country music" stuff isn't even factoring in. It's a hockey and life decision. Bottom line - he wants a place with a chance to win that is also a good place to raise his kid.

Just by waiting he is likely going to get 2-2.5m more per year on a decision he's probably already made.
