If Toronto loses Kawhi and Marner in the same weekend it's gonna be a daaaark day in Toronto.
Elliotte Friedman said:Hearing that Montreal has tendered an offer sheet to and signed by Mitch Marner. 5x12.5.
This has been a crazy day in the nba. Now my entire focus is on what the hell the Habs are gonna do.
Into the sun I hope
Please yes
The man's mildly entertaining when he's talking about the game currently being played, but the moment his attention drifts and he veers into another subject it's just...
FUUUUCCCCKKKK PLEASE BE TRUEEE
Imagine if Toronto loses Marner and Kawaih to Lou and LeBron on the same day.
City might implode
For some reason I've been thinking about Kadri's suspensions a lot lately and feel these hits would not have happened if the officials did their job. Take the hit on DeBrusk, if the officials prevent that game from getting out of hand then that doesn't happen.
Obviously I'm not a Leafs fan so no bias here and the recent acquisition of "agitator" Nazem Kadri has nothing to do with it.
If somebody hits one of his teammates from behind, you best believe the first one who's going to respond is Naz.For some reason I've been thinking about Kadri's suspensions a lot lately and feel these hits would not have happened if the officials did their job.

The best part about this is how you cheekily frame it within your newfound bias but then Leafs fans jump in with "YEAH! THAT'S WHAT WE'VE BEEN SAYING!"For some reason I've been thinking about Kadri's suspensions a lot lately and feel these hits would not have happened if the officials did their job.

Is he? Or does it make perfect sense? He and his agent would have known that the Canes would match
Sure. Although I think this possibility was always (obviously now) overstated.Not necessarily. The contract is very front loaded. $21 million up front.
For one, because as you said they are exaggerating.I think Aho's statement is true-ish, but to pretend he wasn't fully willing to go to Montreal like the Hurricanes front office keeps saying is bullshit.
For the Canes to act like this deal is so fair and great and it's a thrill to match it raises the obvious question - why didn't they offer it weeks ago then?
Sentence 1 doesn't necessarily lead to Sentence 2. It's a gamble. The intention can be to remain trusting it'd get matched, but knowing you may be on your way out. For sure he has to be open to the scenario where he becomes a Hab. But most likely he gets the deal he wants and remains a Cane.You sign an offer sheet knowing full well you may not be back. Saying your intention is to remain is nonsense because you are actually signing with another team.
It isn't nonsense. He said his hope was to remain. He was hoping the Canes would match it, but would have gone to Montreal if they hadn't. None of this seems unreasonable to me.You sign an offer sheet knowing full well you may not be back. Saying your intention is to remain is nonsense because you are actually signing with another team.
Who knows what the offer sheet even looked like. Based on what they offered Aho, i'd say it was pretty mediocre.John Tavares didn't take a meeting last year with Montreal and now Braden Point didn't even sign an offer sheet from them.
Wow.

I think his back injury is more severe than people think so teams are worried about giving him term. And he likely wants term as this will be his last big deal that takes him through his prime.
Marners dumbass dad must be so pissed about the whole Aho offersheet, I love it.He's just trying to help these GMs sign their players to reasonable deals, give him a break.
According the the NHL Network, teams are only offering him 2 year contractsI think his back injury is more severe than people think so teams are worried about giving him term. And he likely wants term as this will be his last big deal that takes him through his prime.
The less prevalent theory is he's waiting for Marner's contract negotiations to finish to see how much cap space is left after, because he really wants to be a Leaf.
He'd be perfect in his hometown of Minnesota or Edmonton or Florida.
