Marner to Vegas is finally happening

I mean if they did they are brain dead idiots and the entire front office should be fired.

We don't know what the official trade looks like still. If the Leafs end up buying some draft picks and/or prospects by doing that it could be interesting. It's just money.

I'm not sure how this works in the CBA, or maybe they can state that the signing bonus can be paid on a certain date, not when the contract is initially signed.

Yeah. I remember that Marleau's had one later in the season.

I was gonna say if a 1st round pick came back the other way, sure. But if it’s just the player swap, that’s insane.

Ah, fuck all you Marner haters.

Leafs are incredibly fortunate to get anything. I think this was to help dump a salary albeit small and just maybe head off a tampering question

I get that. I was specifically referring to the notion of the leafs paying his $11mil bonus of his new contract.

So, the Leafs signed Marner to the contract. Did they have to pay the $11m signing bonus?

The extension kicks in July 1, and he sort of has to be traded before July 1 noon, so I’d imagine the Leafs and Marner would both prefer the bonus to come from the state tax free locale.

Oh wait, does he need to be traded by July 1?
