Speculation: Marner blocked a trade to Carolina for Rantanen

What are you basing that opinion on?

And that's why they will continue to consider winning 1 playoff round in a post-season a success

The Leafs don't consider winning one round in the playoffs a successful year. It is better than not winning a round though.

Looking forward to Marner donning the spoked B next season

As a pending free agent, he might get that choice.

Right. The fact they even asked has to push him towards UFA more unless his number is hit.

Pretty sure his refusal to negotiate an extension is the thing pushing him towards free agency…

You said Marner is basically a high priced passer for Matthews and they would be just as good with Domi on his wing and that they should fill out the rest of the roster with the cap savings.

The Leafs dont feel the same since they tried to get another high priced guy.

Hold on.

Some one was actually dumb enough to think Max Domi could replace Marner in any way shape or form

Wow

I think there has to be a 30 minute IQ test before signing up to HFBoards

Domi obviously can’t replace everything Marner does. But it is a fact that Matthews had his most productive stretch last season, while scoring 69 goals, with Domi as his RW and not Marner.

It’s a pretty commonly held sentiment that Marner with Matthews is a waste as they can both drive a line.
