As Leaf Fans, which option would you prefer in the Marner saga.
#1. Toronto trades Marner before July 1st
To
Utha for Clayton Keller, 1st, 2nd, 3rd (Utha offers Marner $14 million x 7 yrs.)
#2, Toronto lets Marner walk to free agency and signs Sam Bennett and Brad Marchand
#3, Toronto signs Marner to $13.1 million for 8 yrs
What would you decide?

Take 1st trade and still have enough to sign Bennet.
05 Jan 2025 23:55:57
I?
Why would Utah do that?
Why wouldn’t they just sign him July 1
2?
Marchand is washed
Bennett is overrated
3?
He won’t sign for less than 14 million.

RFL - it would be a sign and trade, leafs have the 8yr option. But, If were losing Marner, why not just trade him at the deadline for a kings ransom. Then sign Bennet and ekblad.

Why Mr. Positive REfill,
Because Columbus and Chicago will be waiting July 1st,
Marchand and Bennett are not washed up, Bennett is 28 and Marchand has 40 points this season.
Yes Money bags Marner, wants $14 and Toronto will not and should not pay him more than Matthews.

Ideally trading marner makes the most sense but I don’t see him waiving or he would of been open to it this summer… idk if Keller is the right target but I like the picks. My opinion is they let him walk take the cap space and get two three quality players. I’d take Bennett but not as a centre as his face off numbers are not good but I think he would still be a valuable player as a winger. All in all I think the leafs do the thing we kinda don’t want to see happen and resign and overpay for marner.

Park
Marchand has 32 points and is 36 and is showing his age this season
Bennett is 28, so what’s your point?
He sucks at face offs
40-45 point player
Yup you know Best.

Marner is not going to be traded. Period.

Ckps is right
I really think they are going to resign him and Tavares.
