[Rumor] Marner is gone from TO

[2014olympicgold]

The amount of times I've read on here "I don't know how the LTIR/Cap system works. It's broken and crap and blah blah blah" makes me wonder why you don't just google, "LTIR rules". Or the fact you're on Capfriendly's website so often, but decline to use their resources on information on the cap rules.

Has Marner signed yet?

Apparently Mitch has but Paul hasn’t...something to do with LTIR and cap space I think. Stay tuned.

He signed one. It was with the Leafs. There by proving the OP and, evidently, "Paul Marner" to be incorrect.

cap - schmap... we can always fill our roster out with players remaining unsigned.

Just think right now, had we space we could grab Ben Hutton & Dion Phaneuf for 2m total

Or you can get used to me commenting about it

I learned something today. "Leafs Nation" is actually the GM of the Maple Leafs managing the signings!

We can and we will

"We the North"
"We are all Canucks"

We is everywhere.

Ferris: Marner received two offer sheets this off-season

According to Mitch Marner's agent, Darren Ferris, the Maple Leafs winger was presented with two different offer sheets during the off-season before reaching a six-year, $65.36 million contract with Toronto on Friday.

"There were two presented to him in the summer, two opportunities which he declined and he told me 'Darren, I don't want to sign them, I want to be a Leaf,'" Ferris told First Up on TSN Radio 1050 Toronto on Monday. "So, we declined both of those opportunities and I know Kyle (Dubas) was aware of one them, the team had actually told him that they had made the overture to Mitch and there was a very strong likelihood there were more that would be presented once the season started as you know, the cap number gets set and makes it more difficult for a team to match.


"(Mitch's) goal always to be a Leaf and that was the conclusion. The Leafs organization worked hard, especially Kyle working tireless hours and he and I going back and forth, ups and down of normal negotiations and finally got the deal done in a timely fashion that he could get to camp. That's what Mitch wanted."

I’d say the same thing if I were Marner’s agent. A little Leafs Nation fence mending with talk of nebulous offer sheets that were declined because Mitch is a good Canadian boy and wanted to be a Leaf for life. Or at least 6 years anyway. So he told those evil unnamed poachers to get stuffed.
