I caught the tail end of the conversation too. I didn't get the full context of it, or why the attention has shifted from Nylander to Marner.
However, as much as I think Doughty is overrated, I'd have a tough time passing up on a deal like that. And I'd say it'd be a slam dunk if he assured signing a long-term extension with the team.

Media is way less annoying when you pick and choose who to listen to
or determine how much salt to add.In any case, Doughty is a free agent in 2019, and he'll be 29. We won't necessarily have to trade for him, but at the same time, I'm not so sure I want to splurge there.

With the end goal of trying to make the team better so they have a better chance of winning a cup, something I've waited my entire life for. You can disagree with the premise that Doughty would do that if it cost Marner but to not like media guys discussing the possibility seems counter-productive.

Sorry for the thread hijack but...
Naylor announced this morning that today is his last show on radio. He's focusing more on TV. Anyone know who is replacing him. Landsberg was ok on OTR but very hard to listen to on the radio IMHO.

Yeah I was surprised to hear that especially when they said he's leaving to focus on CFL coverage. I know he really loves the CFL but talk about a small audience. Not sure they made any announcement on who will replace him, but they need someone to keep Landsberg in check.
Someone asked about POS the other day, thankfully it sounds like Leafs Lunch has moved on without him:

This is fantastic news. Corsica was basically out of pocket for Manny for awhile, and he tried Patreon this offseason to make ends meet while the site was down for upgrades. Putting it under the Nation Network umbrella will keep it funded and operational, even if Manny gets poached by a team. Hopefully it goes better than their previous analytics projects that fell off the stove.

Is there any chance he's not going to The Athletic...?

My guess is no. Both because of the way he's sort of made fun of the Athletic recently and just because I don't think he fits what they do. If I were a betting man I might guess he either goes to Sportsnet and Marek vs. Wyshynski becomes a big thing or he goes to the Ringer.

It turns out Wyshinski and Dave Lozo are going to be adding a subscription option for bonus content with their Puck Soup podcast. There will continue to be the regular podcast, plus bonus podcast content available for $1/month and $5/month options through Patreon.

I finally got round to taking out a subscription to the Athletic. The tipping point was really the national coverage of NHL and the MLB coverage also.
I have to say I'm very impressed so far. It's so clean and the small monthly payment to have no ads is definitely worth it. The writing is also very good and I like the fact the platform gives the writers freedom to write what they actually want to without being restricted by copy lengths for traditional media. I've only had it a couple of days and gave tried to explore a little but first impressions are very positive
