Thanks! the first agenda I would do as GM is jam your pink socks down your throat. Then we'll see who would be STFU

I like that someone "leaked" the offer made in June. It is a good response to the douchebag that has been handpuppeting Dreger all summer.

$20, or $200 if it's autographed by Ferris, Paul and Dreger.

99% chance it was Dubas.

A day or two before training camp?

Yeah. Must be a coincidence.

The Leafs aren't going to sit their points leader during a year when they are Cup contenders.
- Zezel


Well the longer he waits, and pro-rated contract becomes an issue the Leafs will have to sit him or be forced to make a trade to fit him in. Which is horrible for the dressing room. So likely we just sit the clown, if it leads to that anyway. Highest point scorer or not, don't matter.

Smart move. Put all the pressure on him.

Also, if it is real and did come from the leafs no way it gets out with out Shanny approval.

My read is that we're reaching Dubas' deadline. Time to get some dirt under your nails and show the agent the niceties are over.

Not sure the exact names of the other players but somebody once showed on here how his agent plays hardball and then caves in somewhere in the middle of camp.

Everybody knows that Oct. 2nd is the real deadline and with no other teams making an offer, a deal is going to get made eventually.

This craziness the last couple days is just drama to pass the time.

I would if you’d stop turning down 7x11 offers left and right.

Ya, it was some lessor players but Ferris has a history of puffing his feathers and playing hard until the 12th hour then, if the team holds out, quickly reaching a deal close to or at the teams offer.

Paul may be a unique variable. Maybe ...

Paul only has so much control. When Mitch feels the heat from the fans and the city, he'll tell his dad to take a seat.

Paul should have NO control. I'd tell my dad to sit down and shut up, it's my career not his, pretty simple really

He knows damn well he will be living happy the rest of his life regardless.

The basic storyline is that Marner rejected a contract identical to Taveres. I hope to god that's not actually true. If it is the kid and his handlers may be better off convincing one of the other 30 GM's how unfair it is they won't pay him the same as his now former teammate Auston Matthews.

Can't wait for it to be settled so we can just watch some hockey, (frank) contracts.

I think that Andreas anthiousou or however you spell it was one. Correct me if I'm wrong but he held out and went to Europe at the start of a season... then caved and came back

And?

He has an agent, that's what he's being paid for. His father should have nothing to say about it. Sounds like his father is feeding him terrible infomation ie the nonsense about being made whole from missed elc bonuses and all that bullpoop.

And he's 22.
