All Purpose Mitch Marner Talk II

[Doublerum1975]

I really don't understand the bashing of this kid?

 

[LeafsNation75]

A simple youtube search could find you tons of goals Marner scoring with goalies in net. Why even bother...

Here is Marner's goals from the 2018-19 and 2019-20 Seasons.

Among his empty net goals there is at least two of them in the 2018-19 Season and one was a pass to Zach Hyman that he missed and the puck went into the net.

 

[Wiseguys]

Last season I seem to remember Zach Hyman scoring a lot more empty net goals than Marner.

Your right. But the leafs sure got great value out Hyman's contract.The hardest working Leaf, thats a player you don't trade.

Hyman signed that contract after his 2 year ELC when he was coming off a 10 goal, 18 assist, and 28 points during the 2016-17 Season. So you can not compare his contract to the player he's become today.

 

[Dekes For Days]

Marner is significantly more front loaded.

Marner is paid 63% in the first half of his contract. Rantanen is paid 61%. There's barely a difference.

And signing bonuses is something that every player desperately wants.

You're massively exaggerating the difference signing bonuses make. And as mentioned, signing bonuses are mutually beneficial for Toronto, and largely used to counter the tax discrepancy.

 

[BertCorbeau]

I can’t tell if it’s just that Marner doesn’t seem to have the puck on his string like he did before his big contract or if we’ve just gotten accustomed to his style of play and the allure has worn off

[LeafsNation75]

Marner gets a shot towards the net and Tavares tips it in for the game winning goal, so if he keeps shooting more things like that will happen.

sometimes the best responses are short and to the point.

 

[stickty111]

Still should be much better but the production is nice.

I really don't understand the bashing of this kid?

He held out for more money, bent the team over for every penny, and is now paid like a top 5 player in the league, which he isn't. Not even close. He doesn't even give a 100% effort most nights.

Now do you understand?

Close enough

Trade him fast.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Even the best don’t have to dazzle every night but they make a play that is a difference in the game to win.

Marner did that on the GWG.

Can’t complain about that.

Now do you understand?

Leads all wingers in history of the Leafs under 24 years of age in assists. Still 50 games to go so he should have a good hold on it by then. Do you understand

But Marner is the league leader in empty net goals. That's how he pads his goal numbers.

So he is trusted to be on the ice defensively in a close game AND leads the league in points.

Awesome.

And for 8 mil, I'd shower him with compliments. But not for 11. He had another awful game today, but he got his weekly empty netter and so I bet you think he played alright.

 

[MattySnipes]

Great players find a way to get some points even when their game isn't there. Not gonna knock Mitch tonight.

Thought him holding the puck by blue line out waiting McDavid, then let the low shot through was an excellent play. He was counted on tonight in important situations and he was aright.

Onto Sunday.

What about the fact Marner had the primary assist on Tavares game winning goal. Isn't that better compared to him scoring into the empty net?

He's become the new scapegoat for some. Sad to see because he's so talented and exciting to watch.

Its all the nylander fanboys criticizing marner to prop up their soft hero

 

[LeafsNation75]

He's become the new scapegoat for some. Sad to see because he's so talented and exciting to watch.

Since Marner is making $10.893 million I don't care how he gets his goals or assists, because they all count even when he scores a goal into the empty net.

You don't see anyone concerned that the 4 goals John Tavares has scored have been all on the power play and not at 5v5.

Would you like a list of comparables in money ahead of him in points tonight. Its easy zero. Personally i think he could captain a team
