Eklund: The RFA War STILL Isn't Beginning. Going to be a Long Summer..Marner.
- Eklund

RFA war. LOL.

Get over yourself.

Bob McKenzie said that he’d bet a “vast majority” of the currently unsigned RFA’s will still be out there when Labor Day comes around.

So Eklund changed it to 6 and used puck drop.

That’s how it works around here...

Still waiting for this big offer sheet!

RFA war. LOL.

Get over yourself.
- Mashadar

Headline should be RFA war isn't coming. The summer of the offer sheet has yielded one, and it was a pretty weak offer all things considered. Holmgren once said it was harder to get deals done after he tried to sign Shea Weber. I wonder if Bergie will have an even more difficult time GMing now

Ek had a source who said someone could do a 1-year deal for like $15M to really screw the Leafs over. Could be Ottawa. Not likely. But this is obviously what his sources are hearing.

We are getting closer and closer to the point of no return with Marner. Why in hell he would want to be responsible for getting someone like Nylander traded to accomodate an inflated salary in a city like Toronto is beyond me. If he doesn't think Leaf fans will turn on him with the first slump he has he's crazy.

Update, literally nothing is happening.

But also.... MARNER. e5

Quite Large...

Only if true.

I am so sick and tired of these supposed " STAR ATHLETES " over valuing themselves. 3 Years in the league and expects to be paid in the top five in the sport. Of which he only cracked the top two lines for the last 12 months. Whatever happened to proving yourself long-term and then reaping the rewards of the hard work and commitment you had shown in your past performances. If the business world was like this we would all be making seven figures and the average consumer would be paying 10 times the amount for daily consumables than we are now. Over the course of week I can guarantee you that most Canadians put in more hours than these guys and surely are not spoiled and doted on. The average person works an incredibly long week, then have home life to worry about i.e. enough money, children, job security, employment, advancement and living pay cheque to pay cheque. Now Mitchy can go and say that he is maybe traded, he has to be on the road all the time and he sacrifices for his family. Too damn bad, he made his choice just like I did. Lived in hotels for 19 months out of 24 while trying to support my family, have moved numerous times and have sacrificed just like most Canadians. He wants to be a Leaf, fine, I get it. But Mitchy, keep in mind what it is like to be a CANADIAN who give up thier hard earned dollars to see you play. If that is not enough, than move on. Your getting bad advice and either a) your stupid to realize it b) You do not care c) your a spoiled little boy who expects to own the world at your age and not put your time in.

Calling a spade a spade

Sick and Tired of these primadonnas

Just joined to say this...


You answered your own rant though by using the word average. We are not a communism here and being average here isn't good enough. Everyone knew that in grade 3. Mitch Marner will generate more income for the NHL than his contract costs no matter what he signs at . If you think that the average Canadian is as hard working and committed as professional athletes are you should delete your account.

Also calling bullpoop on the 10x on consumables, you work in a global community, the poopty non unique products you make will be delivered by someone else if you don't want to do it for the market value. Get a unique and specific skill that isn't replaceable then you have leverage for a salary increase. Drinking your way through a masters degree is not unique thousands do it every year.

Get HOHO's hat give it a whirl.

I think the whole RFA signing idea is more about treading careful as you have to trade with other GMS and relationships whatever, if you piss everyone off then who will you trade with.

That's the biggest issue that NO ONE speaks about

That's because you won't hear any of this in public.

Hey Ek, have any of your sources mentioned anything about a RFA offer sheet double-cross? Like what if Colorado signs Marner to an offer sheet and then Toronto signs Rantanen to an offer sheet? Double-cross!! They swap each others draft picks. I wonder if that is part of the RFA war that hasn't started yet?

Would you put like an E2 or E3 on that double-cross scenario?

That's because you won't hear any of this in public.
- Aetherial

That's the issue with RFA signings, no one does anything because everyone has to get along. SO basically ek and well tsn as well talk about things as if fake news. Its not real they make a good story but still not real.

That's because you won't hear any of this in public.
- Aetherial

Only Ek hears it. If not for him we wouldn't hear anything.

And what minor (?) trade would that be, you'd have to clear nearly 10M.

There's no way you'd be able to:

a) clear enough cap and be able to remain competitive

and

b) sustain those contracts over time

Marner at anything over 10.5M financially cripples your team. Just look how Dumbazz was barely able to assemble a roster this year. Next year will be even worse lol

Kyle Dumbazz went from saying we will be able to easily resign everyone even with Snakevares to getting absolutely rekt in all of his resignings

Is it that you are just trolling, or are you really too obtuse to comprehend the LTIR, as we have explained it to you numerous times?

Inquiring minds want to know.

The whole board would be better off if we didn't reply to him at all. All he does is stir poop up for his own amusement.
