Mitch Marner, if he hits free agency, will be the biggest free agent since probably John Tavares. He will command upwards of $14M, if not more — Is it worth it for Detroit to sign him? What are his upsides? Does he have downsides? How would the acquisitions effect the roster and salary cap? #LGRW

Oops… You mean pursue, not purse? (Text on video)
That’s a tough question really. They shouldn’t because they need a top 4 def. They could use marner but too expensive
How on earth are you going to fill a half-hour worth the word, "yes?" 😅
The Wings need an major overall on their D, too many third pair D.. Trade for Rasmus Andersson from Calgary. Maybe a UFA like Eckblad or Garikov. Marner I have my doubts. We need abrasive forwards like Sam Bennett.
Hey boys !!
We should go after him but with all the other team let’s be honest who gets him we’ll see but i do think he will consider Detroit – if we get him and maybe one other in and re sign Kane – we’ll see – bring in two more good top 6 players making Kane more a specialist and 2nd 3rd line / we make playoff quite easy grab one serviceable d man bring up another rookie / make the playoffs – following year we can shed those last few bad contacts – bam if things go perfectly wings can be trying for a cup in 27
idk man, marner makes us a more talented team for sure, but idk if he's THAT guy. I'm not trying to run back the leafs roster tbh
We just can’t keep Missing out on all the players we go for – we didn’t get stamkos cause we didn’t want to give him an extra year – that’s ridiculous 😂
Duh
Hes gonna go where the money is. Thats it. I wouldnt be surprised if hes in sanjose next year
Marner probably sees the ice and anticipates plays better than any player in the league
He hasnt been great in the playoffs. You are just looking at numbers. Hes shit
If you sign Marner you don't need Kane
“Yeah, man.” 😎
No, bring in bennet and jeanott. Bring in players that hit and are hard to play against.
"No!" He's too soft, he's not the Red Wings type of player. Sure he'll get you some dazzling goals during the season but he is not tough enough for the playoffs.
It is a pipe dream. He is not coming to Detroit. If he did come to Detroit, he would not be a 100-point player. He would not have a sniper like Mattews or Nylander on the Wings. He would be a 75-80 point player, which is still great. i can see him going to LA Kings, Boston or Carolina.
Marner would improve the Wings for sure but i don't see him ending up in Detroit. Wings also need some size and grit in their top 6 and to me they need 2 top 4 defensemen. Bennett could be a fit for that but he won't be worth the contract he gets. I would try and get Mason Marchment from Dallas if they choose to move him to make cap space. MBN could be an option but we don't know if he will be ready to make the team for next season.
For UFA defensemen Gavrikov, Ekblad and Fabbro are the only options worth it for the Wings. For trades, Pelech from the Islanders, Gudas from the Ducks and maybe Rasmus Andersson from the Flames. They need 1 LD and 1 RHD from that list to fix this defense and bump Chiarot and Johansson to the bottom pair. Then you have a solid defense worthy of a playoff spot.
Bottom 6 on forward needs to be redone too. Too much money wasted on average players that don't bring what the Wings need in terms of PK ability, secondary scoring, physicality and toughness.
As long as it is a 4 year contract at whatever AAV it is.
Nahhh.. I’d rather offer sheet Matthew Knies instead.
The answer is no… Everyday
People always saying he's not good in the playoffs, when he's 63pts over 70GP and a plus 9 🤔
