if it’s Marner against a top liner, it’s the top liner
If it’s Marner against a second liner, it’s the second liner
If it’s Marner against a top 4dman, it’s the dman
If it’s Marner against a top goalie, it’s the goalie

 

[Incognito]

At this point, I think I’d take current day Peter Forsberg over Marner’s bum ass.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

The f***'s the point of this....Marner would lose to a bag of pucks right now after the playoffs he had

 

[bobholly39]

Marner

 

[dirtydanglez]

forsberg, especially with his contract

 

[hamzarocks]

I take Igoudula

 

[Bouboumaster]

It's Marner AINEC IMO

Marner in toronto is basically kessel 2015 right now

His name is mud, he is viewed as a cancer and choker

Part of it is deserved and part exaggerated

I do wonder if he gets dealt if he can win a cup or two as a 3rd/4th best player role on a team and rebuild his legacy/brand

He will lose polls to lower tier players like FF for now

I think the Pens, Knights, Seattle or Preds could be good fits for him to slit in as a key buy not top 2 player

 

[Craig Button]

Nashville will have both starting next season

 

[Rob Brown]

The f***'s the point of this....Marner would lose to a bag of pucks right now after the playoffs he had

That is the point - to see him lose a poll he would otherwise likely win.

 

[Xspyrit]

Marner is a special player

A huge cap dump every summer and a Top winger after a few weeks in the regular season.

Kessel was never viewed as a cancer or a choker by Leafs fans, it was "neutral fans" and idiots like Steve Simmons. Kessel was and still is one of the most loved Leafs. In our series vs Boston, despite being "soft" he f***ing came to play.

Stop this bullshit narrative that the fan base turned on Kessel for a lack of effort, it never happened. It was in the best interest of both sides to part ways. We weren't contenders, and he wasn't young enough to stick around for a rebuild, and he was also too good for us to be a basement team.

Stop the nonsense.

Here’s the actual thread if people are interested:

Confirmed with Link: - Kessel for Spaling, Harrington, Kapanen, 1st, 3rd (Leafs Retain 1.25M or $8.75m) )

amazo!

I wonder if this will look like the Stutzle vs Matthews thread in a year.

Marner will get run out of town and have success with another team, like a lot of our good players that the fans freak out about.

 

[Xspyrit]

I wonder if this will look like the Stutzle vs Matthews thread in a year.

The thread where a lot of people were deliberately stupid and somehow were not taking the 5 M$ in cap difference in consideration? Matthews was much better this season but last season Stutzle was and for cheap as he was still on his ELC lol

And who knows about the upcoming season? If Stutzle produces like he did at 20 y/o and Matthews doesn't score as many goals, maybe Stutzle and 5 M$ in cap space will be more valuable again?

That thread was a good example of how stupid internet can be.

Forsberg not close. Forsberg hits, goes to the dirty areas and will even drop the gloves for his teammates if needed.

I don't know, he's done that twice, losing both.

+ good hands and skill. I think he is more valuable as well

 

[Regal]

I’m not the biggest Marner fan, and I know there’s playoff questions, but it’s not like Forsberg’s playoffs have been amazing either, and he’s been more inconsistent in the regular season.

 

[centipede2233]

I just hope marn’s doesn’t surf hfboards this summer.

 

[Haatley]

if it’s Marner against a top liner, it’s the top liner
If it’s Marner against a second liner, it’s the second liner
If it’s Marner against a top 4dman, it’s the dman
If it’s Marner against a top goalie, it’s the goalie

If it's Marner against anyone in the playoffs, it's anyone in the playoffs.

agreed but Forsberg has played with far less talent and scores far more goals.

To be honest, I'd love him on the Pens. I just don't see any conceivable way they could land him.

He'd fix a lot of the issues with the Pens, and while I know people will chirp about his playoff performance, at this point I don't care. The Pens aren't winning any more Cups. But they could still put up some nice numbers with his addition and watching Crosby and Malkin move up the all-time points rankings is basically the only thing I have to cheer for at this point.

I'd like to see what each looks like together. Seems like a complimentary pair.
