Wild revelation, I just hope Marner crushes it in the playoffs and earns his next contract. If he does not crush it I am not positive Trev would be willing to bring him back at the cap hit he will get. Maybe Marner will be the one who decides to sign elsewhere anyway. I am somewhat glad Trev is willing to at least entertain the idea of switching things up.

One for one both on expiring deals do you do it? I am not mad it didn’t happen but I am not sure I would be mad if it did.

"I just hope Marner crushes it in the playoffs and...."

How many rounds of "not crushing it" in the playoffs does it take for Toronto fans, Leaf management and ownership to realize that's never going to happen unless substantial changes to this team architecture are made?

Getting Rantenan and moving Marner would have been a material step in that direction.

I have some hope that Stolarz and Tanev can provide some difference. But the Core are abysmal in the playoffs and will always be when they are playing together.

Chris Johnson's credibility with me took a big hit with his reporting about Marner last summer - something to the effect that he would be gone by October, etc.

If I had to predict, Marner walks. Barring a Stanley Cup run, he'll be fed up with the constant media attention and his perceived "they don't value me like Matthews" slight that his agent seems to love to take.
