So Kypreos on HC just now...was at the PA charity golf tournament yesterday (or recently anyway)...full of agents and players and guys in the business.
He said the overwhelming feeling was that Marner will be getting an offer sheet....and that the offer will be for 13m per or more...that the sheet has to make Marner the highest paid player in the game for it to work. Certainly believes things have gotten a bit cool between the Marner camp and the Leafs. Mentioned how Marner already feels like he was shafted by not being given his B bonuses on his entry level deal which cost him upwards of 3 million to this point, which fuels his ability to sign an offer sheet without feeling to bad about things. Says he definately wants at least Tavares money but only on a 5 year term so he can maximize his UFA money.
Fascinating if true.
