It's the idea that he's threatening to go to Europe if he doesn't sign his big deal of 13+mill (guess). So he'll go away for the yr to sign a $470k deal with a European team. And all it does is kick the can down the road. It's not like the Le'Veon Bell thing where if he sat out all yr he'd be a FA. Marner would lose out on millions to just go do this again next yr, and likely never gain any positive points to up his argument.
He's threatening to go to Europe if not signed, not to stay in shape, but to put pressure on the Leafs.
