Tribute Marner Appreciation Thread

[Notsince67]

You're too funny. According to you, Marner's generous, Willie's greedy, and Matty will fall into place, he just needs Willie to go first to set the tone as Matty's a follower, not a leader.

Things are never boring in Bizzarro world.

Will be more interesting when you are once again groveling over Marner in the new year. Like clockwork. Troll away Gary. You learn zero and offer zero.

The kid will have a long career. Hoping they can keep all the boys salaries checked or termed for turnover for 2026-2027. Need space for McDavid. JT cap hit is out but will need at least the cost of a burtuzzi type player to sign him. Shouldn't be a problem if they can reign in Willy's greed. Matty will fall into place if they keep Willy reasonable. Best is yet to come.

Give him some credit, 40 goal scorer, and part of the core 4 while taking cca 50% less. Why would you single out Willy? The guy making significantly less than all the other greedy players led by Marner.

There is some justification for Matthew's overpayment, there are only a handful of 60-goal scorers and MVP winners.

There is no justification for Marner's contract. He got 99 points, once - 13th in scoring. Really great, Selke nomination included.

You wanna reign in the greed? Start at home Paul.

Easy, his persona and the amount of fans that simp for him and his intangibles that I can't discuss in conversations because it's just petty. Why fans hate on certain players more than others seems abundantly clear with this core.

I think it's the other way around. Matty said he'd sign for a discount, and then Willy said if Matty did, so would he.

If they can reign in Matty's greed, Willy will fall into place.

On evolving hockey, Aho was projected to sign an 8 year deal at 10.3. He signed at 9.75. Not a huge discount given a margin of error and he was paid with a NMC.

Willy pegged for 9.5mmx8 from their model. I don't think anybody would be upset with that but definitely not much more.
The problem is with any desired lower term. If the leafs have aspirations of making a move on McDavid, they might choose to lower the term just in case. 3 yrs 8.2 and 4 yrs 8.6.
I dont think anyone would be upset at that. Nobody is really looking at Willy giving a discount. If he gives any on his value, it will be small. The question is on over pay. Matthews is but a distraction to the discussion. A rounding error on his pay is big money to Willy. While bringing up Matthews might seem like a great PR idea, it amounts to nothing that is really tangible from a contract perspective.
If the leafs are looking to massively discount the numbers above, I can totally buy into a discount buy in from Matty but who actually thinks that a discount from Willy will look massively lower than those?
We are chasing pennies

You don't seem to understand this simple concept - when players play well, I give them credit for it and when they play like crap, I say so and Marner's no different in that regard.

For you on the other hand, Marner seems to be the great love of your life, you care about him more than you care about the team and whatever you post about him is 100% predictable as your posts aren't the least bit influenced by his performance on the ice. You also seem to be completely oblivious to the fact that this makes you seem unintelligent, as evidenced by the amount of arrogance of condescension in your posts. But hey, as long as you're having fun, you have fun. )

Congratulations to mitch marner! And for the haters

Dude. You've literally been stalking a celebrity's appreciation page for over a year just to troll and swear you're not a hater. Like, you're a jealous ex.

Probably 99% of what I posted about him for over a year was positive, it was only when he faded away (again) as the playoffs went on that I was more critical of him. If you can't understand what you're reading, maybe you shouldn't bother posting.

Mitch setting up PP as well. JT seems to be the only closer

It’s almost as bad as people posting with burner accounts. Almost.

Holy Poop, Draisaitl's getting Matthews next deal.

Oilers are up a creek!

HM ... marner

McDavid, Matthews/Draisaitl, MacKinnon, Pastrnak, marner ... that's some high priced talent there.

 

[Mess]

Not bad numbers. pretty impressive for Marner almost as good as my boy Mathew Barzal.

Do you mean fragile ego protection thread? Unless Marner retired and no one reported it, this thread is a bizarre representation of what's wrong with this core.

You don't create appreciation threads unless you're really scared of discussion.

Barzal is pretty good. In a full game on average he is slightly better offensively in his career than Marners 2nd year from a points per game perspective. Not bad at all.
PP, seems pretty elite

 

[LeafChief]

Mitch Marner is very, very good at hockey and we are lucky to have him.

The day has come and gone for the super elite couple.

Special bonus, there was a Matthews sighting.

 

[DarkKnight]

Just checking to see if he got married wrong?

He did OK buy not an elite wedding

Regular wedding activities may be elite but post wedding scoring is where someone will truly be measured.

Love the dog at the wedding. Looks like they had a great time.

 

[ACC1224]

Just checking to see if he got married wrong?

He should be worrying more about how he played in game 3 against Florida instead of this selfish B.S. if he really card about winning he’d be working on his shot.

 

[WillyC]

Was there a Go Fund Me launched to pay for Mitch’s wedding?

 

[Yall are crazy]

Congrats to mitch and steph for getting the band back together that's 7 years all together.
