Brad Treliving is doing a great job.

Last night was a bad night but that happens.

Regardless of how this playoffs ends I've been proven right.

It took Treliving less then 2 years and Berube less then a year to accomplish more then Dubas and Keefe did in 5.

Yes I'm still sure about this.

The team is on the right track.

You mean win 1 more game against .870 goaltending than we did against .920 goaltending? If we don’t win this series you’re not right about anything here, sorry.

I never said it was a high bar, but the fact still remains the second they won that 6th game, they achieved more then Dubas and Keefe ever did.

That was the moment I was proven right no matter what you and the rest of the cult of Kyle Dubas say

Also, I don’t want to pick sides here, both GMs are crap. But atleast win round 2 before claiming this team is more successful

I’m not part of the cult of Dubas, just saying this team is getting outplayed comfortably the past few games by a clearly worse Florida team after a perfect opportunity to put a stranglehold on the series. Pray you’re right going forward but I’m not betting money it.

Because Marner didn't agree to sign.

How is this so difficult for people to understand?

Logic, use it.

Are you saying that Tre thought Marner was a better player but wanted to trade him anyway because Marner wanted to sign with the Leafs, just not during the season?

I suppose there's almost a bit of logic there, although there really isn't anything in that to show he preferred Marner. If he actually preferred Marner he would have said no to the trade and just prepared to sign him in the off-season.

Logic.

I am saying that Freidman reported that priority #1 was Treliving signing Marner.

Do whatever you want with that info, but he wanted a signed Marner over Rantanen.

Freidman saying he wanted to sign Marner is one thing. (And of course Freidman saying it doesn't make it true.)

Wanting to trade Marner for Rantanen is another.

Neither one shows he wanted a signed Marner over Rantanen.

You have a gap in the logic.

The Hurricanes had wanted Mitch Marner, the Leafs did NOT offer him. The Leafs had went to Marner and said that their priority was to sign him but Carolina was calling about him.
Marner was not willing to waive his trade clause because he wants to remain with the Maple Leafs.

Not hard.

Tre said the priority was to sign him.

So they wanted to sign him over Rantanen.

Why is this so hard for you?

Why would you take Freidman's word that Marner was offered in a trade but not that they had the convo above?

The convo above doesn't even look like the Leafs offered him, Carolina wanted him in the trade, Marner said no, it ended there.

Logic, not even once...

Seems pretty straightforward, some continue to struggle with it.
What we know is they tried to trade Nylander but his value wasn’t good enough so they re-signed him. They’ve been consistent in saying their intention is to sign Marner, didn’t even attempt to trade him when they had the window.

Zero chance the team is going to let arguably their best all around player and leading scorer walk unless he chooses to.

So why would Tre ask Marner if he would accept a trade if he didn't want to trade him?

There is something missing in the logic. I don't know whether it's in what you heard from a second-hand source, or something missing in your reporting.

And the main point is still - none of this is evidence that Tre values Marner higher than Rantanen. He might, but this isn't proof.
