Brad Treliving is doing a great job.

My hope is Marner convinces his best friend to follow him to where ever he goes. This team needs a reset

If I had to bet money, I would think Vegas is going to look to add some fire power after looking limp in the last 2 playoff series.

I think we could do maybe a sign and trade or just trade his rights like Guentzel's last year, if we get a 3rd round pick, yay.

San Jose and Chicago would be stupid to pay up 13M to Marner when Celebrini and Bedard contracts are coming.

Sure, but that doesn't mean Treliving is good just because he isn't Dubas.

No Treliving is good because he's accomplished more in 23 months, then anybody else in 23 years.

You don't fire the guy that CLEARLY has the team on the right track.

You fire the rest of the poison that is whoever is left over from Dubas's staff

What makes you think all the offers would be trash? That makes no sense whatsoever.

If the offers for an underpaid RW (on an expiring contract and looking for a sizable raise) who is primarily a goal scorer and produces in the playoffs wasn't good enough, what about an overpaid RW (on an expiring contract and looking for a sizable raise) who isn't a goal scorer and disappears in the playoffs?

That doesn't necessarily mean "all the offers would be trash", but the question was 'what if".

If Vegas is looking to add fire power for the playoffs, why would they want Marner?

I'm just telling you what other teams are thinking, they see 100 pt player that's 28 years old and good defensively.

He's gonna get paid regardless of what anyone on this message board thinks.

Other teams only watch the regular season and not the playoffs?

You're really gonna make me post some positive Marner stuff eh?

He's got 13 pts in 13 GP in the playoffs this year, not what I would consider worth 13-14M but for other teams that have had zero regular season success and would want to get to the playoffs, he's fine.

Mike Johnson isn't someone I necessarily agree with a lot but on the drive in they talked about Shanny's tenure and while there is definitely disappointment with it, other teams in this league would have been happy to make the playoffs consistently with a couple round wins. It is pretty sad abut then you see Buffalo with their playoff draught and I get it.

Regular season production will make teams believe in the possibility of that transferring to the playoffs (which may explain why Toronto has been hesitant to move off of its core). Those players have also been "bad" to an extent that's at least partially relative to the salaries they've been pulling in.

Absolutely a team desperate to make the playoffs would be interested.

But the start of the conversation was "a team looking for playoff firepower", and that's all I was questioning.

He's underwhelming for the salary but isn't a complete ghost, he can add to a team.

It’s tough because he needs to have the puck on his stick to be valuable, if he’s going to be a little Marchessault quick strike guy that gets lost in coverage that’s not worth anywhere close to 10 mil let alone 13.

If you’re Vegas you have to ask yourself if you’d rather have the puck on Eichel’s stick or Marner’s stick on a PP in game 7. One of them is going to have their phantom transition points suffer, unless you split them up and have both of their transition points suffer a little.

Who are we talking about here?
 
One of the underrated decisions Tre DIDN'T make was trading Knies.

There is a reason so many teams are interested in him. In two to three years, this guy is going to be the Gary Roberts every team needs.

As much as we believe Rantanen would have been great, moving Knies out for him probably isn't the difference maker we think. This isn't the Western Conference and he isn't playing his former team in Colorado if he arrives here, which had to be a major motivator for him They could have just have easily have lost in the First Round in Dallas.

Now Marner for Ratanen, I do that any day of the week for obvious reasons.

The first question to Tre on Friday needs to be something along the lines of,

'You were hired to finish and fulfill Shanahan's vision for the team. Now that he's been fired how do you plan to do things differently?'

And the answer needs to be better than 'just well we're going to let Mitch walk for nothing on July 1st'
