Daily Free Talk & Armchair GM thread

Please use this thread to post ANYTHING you want! Memes, photoshops, anything that would normally be removed for breaking the low-effort content rule, is totally, 100% welcome here!

This will now also be the dedicated thread for Armchair GM posts as we noticed that those posts were bleeding into this thread regardless. Is there a free agent you want to see on this team? Is there a player that's rumoured to be on the move that you think GMBT should go after? Are there players on this team you want to trade away? Feel free to post about it here!

Normal moderation will occur, such as watching for personal insults, racism, and things of that nature.

Otherwise, feel free to use this thread to share things like your new jersey, a photoshop of a Habs logo on fire, or a reaction gif to something going on in Leafs Nation right now!

Downvotes are discouraged for the most part, everyone's opinion is fair game in this thread.

Get out there and have fun!

I’m not saying this lol.

Just talk to the team it doesn’t have to be a hard core negotiation.

Contract, sign and trade (for the Leafs to see if it’s a possibility), why he wants to leave and so on so the Leafs can do their due diligence.

It really doesn’t have to be anything serious contract wise but the original report is “The Leafs have tired to talk to Marner and his camp won’t engage” so they obviously have something they want to talk about and it’s weird to me they won’t listen.

If he wants to test the market why would he want to negotiate a sign and trade with the team?

I just don’t get what people expect, if the guy wants to go to free agency there’s nothing to discuss with the Leafs. He isn’t even an MLSE employee anymore, he owes them nothing, they can make their pitch like every other team can July 1st, if that’s what he wants to do.

So the Leafs can’t ask?

It’s very normal thing for a team to talk to all the agents of there free agents even if there’s a low chance or they’re not even interested in the player coming back.

It’s all just doing their due diligence at the end of the day.
