I would have no issue with an extension if the price is right but he would need to take a pay cut from his current contract.
Paul’s mouthpiece starting again in a contract year I see
I wouldn’t believe a word dreger says about Marner. It’s all coming directly from Marner’s camp.
Whether it’s the right move or not, Brad has to have tkachuck in the back of his mind. Not extending players has burned him badly. Marner is not tkachuck, but something I’m sure he’s thinking about.
Yeah why not, core that’s already proven nothing, got fat contracts and proceed to prove nothing yet again. Let’s double down and give everyone raises! 8 more years of mediocrity!
Life has been good since I stopped bothering to read or listen to anything Dreger has to say. Was the mouthpiece for Marner last negotiation so no surprise he’s trying to do the same yet again.
Take anything Dreger says about Marner with a grain of salt
Just like Nylander last year, the most likely thing is an extension. You can be upset about it, or think it is the wrong move, but it is the most likely outcome.
Dreger is just Darren Ferris’ media mouthpiece, he is the only “insider” saying stuff like this and it’s because it helps out Marner’s camp by pumping his value.
Dreger is a mouth piece for Darren Ferris. Take with a grain of salt
I dont hate Marner but an extension does not work. You can’t pay 4 guys half your cap space and win.It has taken MLSE how many years of running it back to figure this out? The money we save from moving on from Marner is needed to strengthen our defense.
Welcome back Paul, its been a minute
Taking betting odds on another exclusive Dregs interview when this resolves one way or another to patch up Mariners public image
Let me rephrase what that mouth breather Dreger said. “Paul Marner and Darren Ferris would love it if Tre offered Marner a big juicy extension so we are just gonna spread some rumours that Tre has interest in extending him too.”
Get that garbage outta here Dreger.
Glad to see most people see through this bullshit
Also important to note that Dreger is a moron.

I hate the internet
These analysts know absolutely nothing until the last moment generally speaking. Plus add onto the fact Dreger was basically Ferris’ puppet last Marner negotiation. Nothingburger report.
dredgers talking out of his ass.
Dreger and Kypreos carry water for the Marner camp like it’s nobodies business.
If Marner wants to sign the Nylander contract then I’d be willing to wait out next season until Tavares expires and then use his cap space to make some meaningful changes. Call me an idiot, but I still believe that Matthews, Nylander, and Marner are capable of winning.
However…
If he’s unwilling to take the Nylander contract (he won’t), or waive his NMC then he should be with Tavares, and on PP2. That’s being generous too. I’d make him play 3C with Robertson and Jarnkrok to show his worth. Enjoy your contract year.
Odog put it best last week about if they should extend or let him walk and he said let him walk. Then noodles and dreger started talking about asset management… fuck that let him walk or boo him out of town.
Dreger was the mouthpiece for Paul Marner during his first big contract, so he can piss off.
Here’s the thing: there may be no perfect solution to the issue here
This ALSO means that the LEAST BAD decision may be to extend Mitch long-term if the trade options are all lacklustre
Brad isn’t gonna trade him just to check a box. If the best move he has is extending, he will do it.
For me, it’s not mitch that we need to move on from. But rather his contract.
Yzerman took 8 years to become elite and a playoff performer. You extend mitch and use tavares money on defence
Dreger is the king of spewing out a lot of words while simultaneously saying nothing at all. Fuck he irritates me
The best the Leafs could do is extend him but not offer trade protection. That gives us maximum flexibility and we don’t risk losing a potential hall-of-fame player for nothing.

The proxy to Mitch’s agent is pushing for an extension? No wayyyy
Key words “I THINK”
In the full clip he said there has been zero discussions about an extension between the two sides and Marner wants to play out his contract.
Also it’s Dreger, he’s always going to defend Mitch and help his camp lol
Full clip for context: https://x.com/firstup1050/status/1802704050313392633?s=61

1) you will not get what he’s worth in a trade
2) You can not afford his next contract
Both of these things can be true at the same time
“The Leafs would rather extend Marner”
~~-Darren Dreger~~ ~~-Darren Ferris~~ ~~-Mitch Marner~~ -Paul Marner
Darren (Ferris) Dreger thinks Marner should get extended and overpaid again? No way!!!!
Here comes the bullshit again from the Marner team. If he’s on the roster next season I’m officially resigning as a fan of this team.
Dreger says a lot of words that mean nothing.
“Does this mean Marner won’t be traded? No, not necessarily. The team could offer an extension instead of letting him walk to free agency.”
NO INFORMATION WAS REVEALED.
Best would be to extend without a NMC and then trade.
