Marner might struggle in the playoffs but he is a regular season machine on both sides of the puck. With him on Vegas, their scoring will go to another level.
So their choices are to pay Toronto whatever they are asking for tomorrow so they can get Marner… or don’t pay up and not get to sign Marner at all because of the tampering issue.

There is a third option which is just sign Marner and see if Brad and co can prove there was any tampering.
