Dubas failure to realize Marner needs to be the QB on a team like Colorado or Stars, or yesteryears Nashville.

Heavy and tough everywhere.

The second you need this guy to dig out pucks vs skilled players who are ALSO tough.

He’s a boy.

He can do it all season to the lesser players. But playoff teams have men who are just as skilled and he is a no show.


Unload him now, while some team who needs a playmaker will sign him.

His time in Toronto is DONE.
 
What a disgrace.

When Dubas singled out Marner as the one guy who will always get his way, that should have been my sign Marner is a bust because Dubas is trash and doesn't know hockey if his life depended on it.

I actually don't hate marner but holy f*** what did I just watch in a down 0-2 game 3.

Just gotta figure out who to target in a trade. Preferably a defenseman capable of eating big minutes. Rielly has been great but he's just one man, and McCabe is no Muzzin, he's looked lost a lot these playoffs.

Get McCabe into a #4 role

Add another top pairing defencemen or two
 
More. Way more.
Doesn't Mactavish project to be a number 1 c at some point in the future? Not an elite 1 but an average 1 who might be in the 75 to 85 point range. You aren't likely to get equal value if you trade Marner for NHL players.

If MacTavish is part of a package, sure, but not one for one. Leaf Nation would have a conniption fit.
 
Credit to Stephen Burtch on twitter for tallying it up

"Marner's playoff career to date...

Games 1-4 of the first round:
8 goals, 36 pts in 28 gp.

Every game after the first 4 games of the first round:
1 goal, 9 pts in 20 gp."
Did he do Matthews?

He is the perfect addition to a hard nosed team that can insulate him. Give him time and space and let him do his thing. I agree. I don't think he has diminished value at this point, but its getting close to that. I think people in higher circles are now quite aware of what happens to him in these situations
