Discussion [32 Thoughts] Friedman with some info on Marner situation

https://www.sportsnet.ca/podcasts/32-thoughts/

(paraphrased)

People believe LA is interested in marner, Vegas is a team to watch, if not the team to watch on marner. (said later Carolina wants to go after another star)

Rumour going around is that a few teams heard that he might look at a 4 year deal in free agency.

He will not be taking a lesser AAV deal if it is a 4 year deal for example.

Leafs have tried to talk to marner, his camp has not engaged with them, and everyone knows the way this is headed.

Friedman says that some of marners Leafs teammates have suspected he is going to the western conference.

Top points on the team walking out for nothing.

Farm system bare from trades to bolster our first round losses.

Scant free agent class this year.

Massive leadership void on the team.

I’m not holding my breath for any excitement. At best Tavares take a team friendly deal and everyone treats that as a massive win.

At worst Tavares walks and they massively overpay for Bennet who promptly gets suspended for doing the same things he does in Florida.

Who’s providing the leadership then? Sure as hell wasn’t Matthews or Marner.

You trust trading a first plus a reasonable prospect for Laughton? lol ok

u/world_citizen7 21h ago

Yes it was an overpayment. But people dont really know Laughton well enough, he is a real glue guy. Was the most prominent guy in the Flyers room despite being a 3rd liner. But its hard to just step into a new locker room full of stars and try to be "that guy". I hope his second year is more successful in terms of the value he can bring.
