Do we like either of these guys?

Making an extra mil from an RFA to UFA contract really underscores how little extra value we got under his second contract.

Wasn't Marner an alternate captain? They never fail to remind us they never gave him a signing bonus.

I don't really recall him doing much of anything useful in the playoffs.

Can't wait for the day when Ferris posts a picture a la Fleury on his Twitter. Good luck with the cutthroat franchise who will jettison anyone who isn't giving them fair value.

I'm more of a puttanesca guy.

Was he even useful as a role player?

It became a flat cap world shortly thereafter and Nylander's contract ended up being better value than we realized by the end though.

He has an awful track record in the playoffs though....

Many years ago, yes.

Why was he undrafted in that case?

I do think at some point it's totally possible they become the Blackhawks after their Cups.

Oh I don't think it'll be a good contract, but it's obvious he's a gamer in the playoffs.

I was thinking the exact same thing. I guess he wants to find out what a ruthless management team really looks like.

May have already happened behind the scenes. We also know they're motivated by money more than anything else.

Imagine that. Paying players for playoff performance.

I'm not sure I want Rielly back to be honest. Seems like he doesn't do anything well enough to warrant his contract. Let alone he's not been great with most partners outside of maybe Hainsey and Carlo.

Finally we get a sweetheart deal.

I mean at some point teams won't be spending to the cap unless they're really big market. Unfortunately the Leafs will just have to overpay guys even more...

Im actually surprised that you're surprised at this. It was obvious a deal couldn't be done with Marner in season. Tre is acting like he's keeping his options open but it doesn't seem likely Marner comes back, but he's not going to say that. On Tavares there's talk that he's wants closer to fair...
