I was thinking take me too.

And he is half the size.

they will come to an agreement at the last minute, he won't miss the whole season IMO. Can they give him a NTC?

right?

You cant hold a gun to a player and force them to sign.

Not sure how things are done in Russia but this is at least true in the free world

That's just stupid.

You would never hold a gun to a player's head.

You find another way to force his hand...

Not for the whole contract.

Not for the whole contract.

not even a limited NTC? I honestly don't know the rules around that

I think this is going to be my new catchphrase on Hockeybuzz:

Oh yeah, Scabby?!?!?

Well, why don't you just frank right off back to the vineyards of Spain!

From what I understand, you can only hand out NTCs and the like for years in which the guy would have achieved UFA status.

And if you don't like my answer, you can frank right off back to the vineyards of Spain!

I'd give Hockeybuzz up for 6 months (starting on July 1st) to live in a vineyard in Spain

before start of this season, Dubas could have offered:
8x8 to Marner.
8x11.5 to Matthews.
Both very likely would have signed those contracts.

Now very unlikely they will sign for those numbers.

Dubas: "Mitch we would like to sign you before the season starts. You had a 60 point and a 69 point season...We will give you 7x8"

Marner: "Nah, I was over a PPG in the last half of the season, I am playing with Tavares instead of Bozak. I am going to wait until after I have a 80-90 point season to sign"

Dubas"Well, you are as smart as I am I will give you that"

MAX: "Dumbas is so DUM fr not sining Mrner to a contract B4 the sesn started. Marner wudda totally of been dum enough to sin fr cheap."

I wish I was as close to Matthews and Marner as you were

from the blog:

TOR VS SJS – 45 shots (.933 save percent)
TOR VS LAK – 23 shots (.957 save percent)
TOR VS NJD – 39 shots (.974 save percent)
TOR VS VEG – 37 shots (.973 save percent)
TOR VS PIT – 31 shots (shutout)

Such lazy writing. Didn't even take the time to figure out the save % of the Pittsburgh game. You guys deserve much better in a blogger.

literally nobody on these boards (except from me) thought before start of this season that Marner would sign new contract for over 8million / year.
we can go back to the threads of early July/August.

We'll wait while you get that info

pro tip directly from the vineyard (if you can get this wine in Canada):

uhmm...cool?? I don't think Marner cares what people on hockeybuzz say.

In fact he would probably laugh his face off if he read this thread.
