  1. As an Avs fan, please cook Kelly. You know you want him, tampering penalties be damned

  2. The Leafs are so butt-hurt over Marner deciding to no longer being their whipping boy, its laughable

  3. how can you let a team negotiate with your player for a sign and trade and then “sue” for tampering? if this is true the nhl is a much bigger mickey mouse league than i had previously concluded (it was already high).

    all the pundits had vegas as one of the 3 teams most likely to sign marner before this even started

    what a joke

  4. The league putting this out there through Friedman is just them telling Vegas “please wait at least a few hours, maybe even a day, to get this done.”

  5. Lmao what bullshit here Marnier should just sign with different team and say fuck them both go to Colorado and let them
    Get nothing

  6. this whole situation is so dumb, not like i had much respect for the leafs to begin with but now i just view them as pathetic and laughable. i can see why marner so desperately wanted to leave them

  7. So what has me a bit baffled here is if Toronto was trying to do the sign and trade with Vegas, they would’ve had to give Vegas the okay to negotiate the contract before the trade. So how the hell are you going to prove tampering. The deal they offered to Marner is the same one they would be offering him with the sign and trade. Maybe I’m just missing something idk

  8. The NHL is just gonna wait for a Canadian team to do this and drop the hammer. They’re especially not gonna punish Vegas, let’s be real.

  9. As someone fairly new to the amazing world of Hockey, Can someone explain what exactly tampering is in relation to Hockey trades?

  10. NHL: “Everyone look at Vegas and Marner. Now you know what not to do!”

    Ottawa: *looks at an impending FA*

    NHL: “$5M FINE, LOSE YOUR NEXT 10 YEARS WORTH OF DRAFT PICKS AND THE CONTRACT IS CANCELED!”

  11. You’re all delusional if you think the league is going to punish the Knights for anything involving the Leafs. A newish team in an American, traditionally non-hockey, market is going to be a Cup contender by getting an elite-level player from a Canadian team? This would be the first time Bettman has gotten hard without the use of a pill or a pump since the mid-80s. The motherfucker will die of Priapism.

  12. itt: people who don’t understand regardless of if it’s a sign and trade or a FA signing, Vegas talking to Marner for a year while he was still under contract is tampering. I hope they drop the hammer on Vegas.

  13. Termination of the contract is interesting… This facet is more punitive to the player than the team who can just go sign another player.

    I think salary cap penalty rather than a fine would be way more effective, but that wouldn’t generate revenue for the league so that’ll never happen.

  14. Ottawa should go for him and let Giroux go they have money and bring karlsson back

  15. @FriedgeHNIC

    NHL has found VGT guilty of tampering by communicating throught third parties with TTO forward Mitch Marner. Disciplinary action to follow.

    @FriedgeHNIC
    VGT punishment for tampering:

    OWA lose 26′ first round pick
    VCR pay Loungo cap recapture penalty until 2034
    CLY nazim kadri suspended 6 games
    VCR and EMT lose 2026 2nd round picks from Kane LTIR investigation

  16. Sounds like a pretty good reason for maple leafs organization to plant this as a setup.

  17. As expected, a lot of people here itching for Vegas to be punished.

    Despite a lot of the victim complex from fans of the team in the biggest market within the country most obsessed with hockey worldwide, the way this is being pushed – given it’s not being said officially – feels more like Toronto media trying to warn Vegas off.

    These things are nearly impossible to prove, and all sports worldwide have struggled with this, to the point that its now basically an open secret that it goes on. The biggest reason that nothing will happen here is the same as we see with all of these examples; if Toronto go after Vegas, then someone else will go after the Leafs – because you know they will have done it too – and this will kick off a chain reaction throughout the league.

  18. Marnier should just wait till July 1 st and just pick where he wants to go and let the leafs get fuck all

  19. Oh my god… why are we this fragile… we deserve getting trashed… this is ridiculous.

  20. I’d be hilarious if they lose their picks, get fined. But they get Marner and win the cup.

  21. Marner is overrated.
    Pass-first play maker who relies on better players for points.

    Hot take: He’s going to Huberdeau, wherever he goes.

  22. To recap:

    Cover up a sexual assault by one of your coaches – $1m fine

    Talk to a UFA before free agency begins – $5m fine, lose the player, lose draft picks
