offense is struggling, so lets replace a core that has proven they can score at a high pace with a bunch of aging journey men LOL. crazy logic
how's that working out for calgary? cause that's essentially what they did and they are not very good.

Ok so he was going with Nylander. Now he is back with MM he is sucking again 5v5. Vast minority seem to point this fact out and just blame AM because it couldn't be how MM plays (selfish trying to rack points for a contract)

I’m pretty sure we are at the cap now so where does “pay the price” come from
you may say that Marner is playing for a big contract, but he's their best player right now. Hopefully Mathews is still recovering from his injury and will get better. I think that Mathews would be lucky to get 30 goals this year.

More hysteria and mass sell outs. Is this Hawaii or some stupid attempt to recruit Pat Kane. He still owes me change.
Go to the F*%#ing NET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is why we shouldn’t extend Marner. They are still the same team they have always been. Sure he was dancing but in the playoffs this will get old fast and we will continue to be one series and done.
Honestly I think this team needs a pure hockey trade like Marner for a first pairing D man. Fox would be ideal. Great PM DMan who can manage the PP. Unfortunately Marner likely wouldn’t oblige the team if they told him we wanted to move on.

You are likely right. I agree.
Since we are stuck the least they could do is let AM MM and WN have their own line.
There is always a way to get it done.
I keep hearing about how tight to the cap we are but every year we addl
Why? because there is ALWAYS a way.

The December schedule is tough for all teams and those are the types of games I expected to see.
Originally when Matthews signed his contract I was a little bit sad; I mean it was only a 4 year extension. Now I'm watching him play, and I wish they let him walk as a UFA
Auston Matthews is injury prone, and a complete playoff choker. He's also the highest paid player in the league. He floats around like an absolute b**** What an absolute joke the Leafs are. Good thing the Leafs will re-sign Marner for 15 million dollars per season

Willy is very individualistic and his effort is mercurial. That is why he belongs on a third line with physical and good defensive players to cover up his deficiencies. The flipside is that he doesn't need them to generate some offense when he feels like it. When he's on he's our Phil Kessel adding offense from the 3rd line. When he's not - which is often - the other two make the line not get caved in totally.
