And also you take a look at the market, I imply, you recognize, we’re taking a look at a number of the betting odds right here for the place Marner might land.
There’s, there’s a bunch of groups which are, we’d name type of the, the form of the, the non-contenders which are going to have cap area that will love a star participant. The Chicago’s of the world. The Philadelphia Flyers of the world. Pittsburgh Penguins and outdated Kyle Dubas.

He’d need all the things, proper? He’d need the life-style, he’d need the contract, and he’d need the nice staff.
And so I feel it’d be extra probably that it’s Carolina or it’s Vegas or a staff like that, that’s, that’s thinking about him, versus Chicago or possibly Anaheim or Montreal or Utah. Groups that aren’t fairly there but.
Now, all of the groups I simply talked about, like, I’d, Anaheim, can be fascinating to me if I’m Mitch Marner. It’d take just a few years, however you’re there for seven. No, I don’t assume he in all probability desires Montreal if he’s making an attempt to get away from Toronto with a number of the stuff that occurs right here.
