But its not. Sure thats gonna happen....but for the leafs it happens alot.
They handed NMC/NTC's when the players hadnt earned it.
They handed out huge contracts to players who hadnt earned it.
The blew through 1st rounders like they twice as many as they did.

Tre tried to recoup an asset for Marner in the Rant offer.
Had that trade gone through....it could be Rant vs Marner right now in Con finals.
Would have been sweet.
Instead Marner is out, Rant is in the gone finals but up against McD....boring lol.

NMC/NTC contracts are part of the cost of signing top tier players. There are over 200 players in the league that have and very few of those players come close to Marner. I’m not talking about contracts that are overpays or trading away 1st rounders. I was making a point about players walking at the end of their contracts and there’s not much you can do to manage the assets of players with NMCs

Likely evidence that Marners demands should have not been met. Mitch set himself up on day one to ensure he could walk to a big UFA payday when the time was right.

Was this in 2021 or 2022?

I have also read this trade was proposed by Kyle Davidson of the Hawks and Dubas said no.

That seems way more likely. That's a lot to give up for an end-of-the-road goalie and an impact top 9 guy.

You made a point about asset management.....overpays, trading away 1sts hand out NMC/NTC to players who really havent earned it are all part of asset management.

But yes there is something you can do. Dont hand out full NMC/NTC to players that have only been in the league for 5 years. Give them a partial.

I dont know the year. I couldnt find the article I had just read that included details of the trade but I found these.
It does seem like a high price, but its Dubas and Toronto usually pays a little more in trades.
But this was 2nd time Ive heard (first being on Sportsnet) that a deal for the flower was nixed by someone other than dubas.

Apparently, it was above Dubas who nixed the deal.

it was prob 2022 the year he was traded to TB.

TB paid Radish, and Katchuk, and The two firsts..which ended up Oliver Moore and Sacha Boisvert

the Leafs offer does feel high, but in 2022 Knies was just a prospect.
Hagel has exploded in TB

ultimatley its good the Leafs didnt make that deal, I dont know if Hagel becomes an 80-90 point player on the Leafs

How about a 1 year deal Patty Kane 750K + 2.5-3M in performance bonses?

I would say Marchand but he likely wants a 2-3 year deal

Dubas did the deals.
Lou screwed marner from the getgo.

Shanahan reportedly vetoed a least a couple of Dubas trades - these may, or may not have helped us capwise.

Shanahan decided to fire Dubas and hire a new GM two weeks before Marner's NMC kicked in. If you're at all considering trading Marner at that time you don't make that change and lay it at the feet of a GM with two weeks' notice.

If you weren't considering trading Marner before his NMC kicked in then you've mismanaged your asset since then. Including asking him to waive his NMC for a trade at the deadline.

Either way you slice it this situation has been mismanaged. Shanahan is the last man standing in all of this, he bears responsibility.

Yes 1 round picks are assets and trading them away for not enough return is bad asset management. I was just responding to a post about Marner walking. There are 94 players with full NMCs, many far less valuable than Marner. NMCs are part of the cost of signing good players. If Leafs want to sign these guys, they’re going to have to include them.

Sorry my response wasn't what you expected so you took it personal? Idk... maybe it wasn't the current forwards but your porn hub list of nonsense that followed?

I look forward to July to see if the moves the Leafs make create a situation where there is incredible flooding in Northern Ontario - predominately caused by the tears of the President and CEO of the Mitch Marner fan club
