Tough pickle Dubas is in & not unforeseen.

Carrying JT’s & AM’s contracts although they are worth it was & is problematic.

BS. They can do things without having Marner signed. Pencil him in at 10.5 million because that will be the end result(give or take $0.5m). Proceed accordingly.

Not sure which is better - paying a good salary for a talented player or paying
$3.033 Million a year for three years for a player that doesn't play any more and might provide an ocassional stench, but not much else?

Signing Myers to a 7x7 is problematic.

Having awesome players is not problematic. Signing Marner is not problematic.

The cap issue for the Leafs is that they have way too many good young wingers so they are spending too much of their cap on forwards to be able to afford four high quality defensemen for their top 4.. They need to make trades to be able to afford at least one very good Top 4 D(preferably top pairing).

Trading Nylander directly for a good, youngish RHD would be ideal. Maybe not possible. Maybe it's a series of two or three separate trades.

Patience is a virtue and quite frankly nobody knows what conversations Dubas is or isnt having. Have to wait and see but Dubas is not a guy without a plan and ability to get creative and think outside the box.

Just going to wait and see.

Bobby Lou retires. Florida will have 3.4 million in a back up and 1.2 in a retired goalie. 4.6 million in like 20 games plus a 10 million dollar goalie in Bobrovsky.

That's a lot of cash in goalies.

Okay, I love Marner, but we need to be much more competitive then we have been for...well most of my 40+ years of life! What are we lacking most? RH D-men and grit. Why not trade Marner to someone like Minnesota for a package that include Zucker and Dumba. Zucker fills the winger spot left behind, but could drop to 2nd or 3rd line to balance the lines better. Dumba is only 24 and has 4 years left at a healthy 4mill. I'm sure the teams would want some picks or prospects to balance it more, but Minnesota gets an offensive play driver which they need badly and the Leafs get some grit and a very solid RD to fill that huge void.

Mitch's female dog$ (papa Paul Marner & Darren Ferris) will mess things up real bad for the Leafs on what they need to do to this off season to improve the team.

If i am Dubas i set a deadline with the female doge$ and if no deal is signed then trade him asap, i am sick of all this $hit, it's dejavu of Nylander all over again....

Only thing is, marner is a 90 plus pt player who makes others around him better.
