Being better or not is not the only thing that makes up a players value. Keller is signed to a very reasonable deal as is Crouse. Marner is a one year deal and even if extended, that extension will be expensive and would just be for the position where the team is actually strongest at (W).

No way in hell UT trades for Marner. Toronto media click bait BS.
The only Reporter I have seen post it us the guy a couple pages back from New York. I've yet to see it even mentioned by Toronto media. Other than that go on...

It’s funny that Leafs homers suddenly need everyone to understand that this player they are desperate to get rid of is actually elite and one of the best players in the NHL.

I think for most fans they know Marner is elite but they also know this group has proven they don't work. With Matthews and Nylander recently signed long term and Tavares going nowhere the odd man out is Marner if you want change. That doesn't mean Marner isn't a great player, it just means you need to try something different and don't exactly have a lot of options to do it. Now if I was a GM and Marner asked for a raise i would simply laugh and point out many comparable making a lot less. But i also would have done that for Nylander.

As a collective, they have not even the slightest modicum of self awareness. Some of the most loyal Leaf fans don’t even seem to recognize that they are Leaf fans, despite obviously loving the team more than life itself. It’s like it’s cultural. Or in the DNA.

Pagnotta checked with Toronto and they said no.
Morgan checked with Utah and they said no.

Jordan Schmaltz is touting LOB is staying with Utah at 3 x $1M
Decent deal for both sides. LOB gets a little financial security and Utah gets a guy who backs up teammates without breaking the bank.

3 years? Jesus Bill. I guess calling yourself spicy tuna guarantees job security. It certainly has nothing to do with his play.
You were thinking Keller+Crouse for Marner, I am thinking considering contracts, Marner does not have that kind of value, even if you see him as the best player in that trade
I said it would involve Keller, Crouse, and picks in some capacity. Maybe i didn't communicate it well but I meant it would involve some of Keller, Crouse, and picks, not all 3 exactly. As in it could be both players and no picks, or Keller and a low pick, or Crouse and a higher pick. Or as suspected it could be all smoke as Dreger says Leafs abd Marner are looking at extension which would seem more like Leafs MO.

He really needs to work on how many penalties he takes. Too much of a liability right now then a benefit.
I suspect that will be part of team improving, he will learn or he will watch. But yeah he does make some bonehead plays.
I don't think Rob Reinhart is a real person.
1. The photo looks fake and a reverse check links it to several other Twitter accounts.
2. There is no record of his past work with SI or Bleacher.
3. As far as I can tell, the "New York Herald" is not a thing.
This appears to be a sophisticated troll account.

He'll be a fan favourite right away. 3 X 1m is nothing. You need someone who'll stick up for teammates. Penalties can be a concern, but overall, he's a useful fourth liner.
Yea, overpay for a UFA, but do not trade this years first rounder.
Maybe best player, but not by a big margin. Keller is two years younger and last year was a .97PPG player, Marner a 82PPG playing having a much better support class.

Imagine what point totals Keller would get having Mathews at center rather than Hayton or Bjugstad. Toronto would love a Keller for Marner swap.
