they don't need to give up 4 1sts tho, just offer him 10,568,589. two first-round picks, one second-round pick and one third-round pick.
Sure, toronto will figure out how to fit marner and the rest, but offer sheeting him gives the other team the chance to get him for "cheap" and force toronto to figure it out sooner.


im praying dubas does not have benning's number saved or vice versa. Benning has no clue how to negotiate, and gives no fucks how pressured the other team may be. As long as he thinks it's a fair cost, he will accept it.

More than $4,227,437 to $6,341,152 -- First- and third-round picks


i just dont see how a team can offer sheet marner and give up 4 1sts when you could offer sheet half the RFAs for under 6.3m and give up just a 1st+3 for a top 6 forward
sure maybe not quite marners caliber but most of these guys are like 20-22? there is still potential to grow into marner caliber and they aint exactly shit most are in top 6 roles already



except its rumoured he wants like 11-12m/season which is 4 pick territory u can offer him 10 whether he accepts or not i doubt it or the leafs prob have him signed by now

Marner isn't signing for less than Matthews...

well shit, avs should totally offer sheet him for 11.6m

it's interesting how much cap hell Vegas is in now, a year ago, McPhee was being praised hard

they're looking to trade someone

(Eriksson Watch) Ottawa has to spend about $11.7M to hit the cap floor. They might become the first team in the cap era forced to spend assets to take on a dead contract

unless he calls Benning, might not even have to pay anything

Melnyk and benning talking to each other on the phone, that must be something special

Benning: i’ll give you something you need badly for free

Melnyk: too expensive, add a lunch to wendys and few rogers arena parking ticket.

Benning: how about this top prospect instead

Melnyk: hang phone

I think it's more like

Melynk: I heard eriksson is disgruntled and he carries a caphit of 6mil but after the signing bonus on july 1st he isn't owed much, dis true?

Benning: Eriksson loves the canucks! Media is overblowing it out of context!! But yeah, he wont be owed much after july 1st.

Melynk: great, would you like to trade him?? I'll give you brady tkachuk and a 1st??? Tkachuk is going to be too expensive for me to pay.

Benning: I feel like that's an unfair trade, we have to give up a vet when im looking to make the playoffs this season, just doesn't make sense at this time.

Melynk: fair enough

We’re just going to sign a couple “veterans” for 2 year contracts for way too much money. It won’t matter anyway because they’ll be off the books when we need to sign young guys

Inb4 offer sheet Marner

Can I interest you in a Kris Russel, as an added bonus all the bad contract signing work has been done already.
