Return is TBD. Roy almost certainly part of it. Is he all of it or is there more? We’ll see!

 

[Chris]

Hooray - we can finally move on now. Will be interesting to see what the return is...getting someone like Roy would be pretty good compared to nothing at all.

Is it just me or is $12 mil not that big a deal, and to lock that in for 8 years in a rising cap environment? Marner really, really, really didn’t want to stay with the leafs.

No state tax in Nevada certainly helps the bottom line.

Bye, Mitch, it's been a slice

Vegas needs to come up with $10M in cap space. Roy is only $3m.

Pietrangelo to LTIR is another $8.8m

I think Tre would have done $12m X 8...it's pretty obvious he wanted outta here.

Good riddance

But the number to stay in Toronto would certainly be higher.

For a pending UFA that was going to walk for nothing tomorrow, I’m good with that. Not good with it getting to this point, but, with where we are…

Can't wait for the day when Ferris posts a picture a la Fleury on his Twitter. Good luck with the cutthroat franchise who will jettison anyone who isn't giving them fair value.

Well at least we are getting something back. As far as him gone something needed to change and long ago. Hard to replace his regular season numbers but when you don’t produce when it matters what good is it and he’s not the only one.

Remember, they never gave him a letter...this was always going to be the case. See ya.

So who is going to hammer him when they play Vegas?

$12x8 would’ve been the sort of contract the Leafs would’ve given him and that would’ve re-set his relationship with the fan base.

Willy and Auston will sandwich him in the corner.

Wasn't Marner an alternate captain? They never fail to remind us they never gave him a signing bonus.

Making an extra mil from an RFA to UFA contract really underscores how little extra value we got under his second contract.

8 year deal too, Leafs only signed him for 6. Got completely hosed on that contract compared to guys like Rantanen and Point

12M in a non state tax is huge compared to T.O. Good for 16, wish him well.
