Agree 100%, I'm just saying what I hope it'll be if it is 4 years.

A similar contract to Timo Meiers would be nice.

We're a rebuilding team. We shouldn't be giving up picks and prospects for hamonic.

By the reports however it sounds like he actually has value to Benning.

Where does it mention that he'll be coming over with a sweetener. Knowing Benning he'll trade something of value for Zaitzev.

It's inevitable that Marleau is getting moved to some team. Why not that team be Canucks so we can get an extra pick?

I don't think it's the canucks inability to get a 2nd but rather aquilini not wanting to pay the money for a bad contract.

We'll have to wait and see

But how is letting Toronto sign Marner so easily good for other teams "business." I'm not saying teams should play hardball just because it is Toronto but Toronto is the team in this situation in this case.

I don't think any team should be doing Toronto a favour. Getting Marleau is basically allowing Toronto to resign Marner. No team should do it unless something good is coming their way.

Tell me a cheaper and easier way to do so

Toronto has to get rid of cap space and this might be the easiest way to do so. If Toronto wants to resign Marner they're going to have to make room so teams know that and will take advantage. It's the other GMs in the driver's seat, not Dubas.

I understand that many teams can easily afford Marleau's contract but it's more than that. This is a big favour we are doing for Toronto which is basically allowing them to resign Marner and their other RFAs. It should cost a lot for them.

Yes but this is a way of getting young assets in return
