Marner is finally signed. 6 years for $65M-ish.
Expect every other RFA forward to be very happy for him, and I think the rest will get signed within the next week. Winnipeg might have a bit of trouble with both Laine and Connor, and rumour is the Canucks and Boeser are very far apart, so he might take some time.
I still think Marner is over-paid (for now), but on a 6 year deal, it'll probably end up ok in the end. Leafs are in very good shape for the next 3 years, but when Andersen and Reilly come off their contracts, it could be trouble keeping them both if they intend to also keep Matthews/Tavares/Nylander/Marner.
Now let's get down to some hockey. I ended up getting in on some season tickets at the Keybank Center, so I'll get 6 or 7 games - including the Leafs/Sabres pre-season game next Saturday. I got 2 more tickets fairly close to my season's seats, so the jingle.family is gonna take that in next weekend.
