Player Discussion Mitch Marner - On Hiatus

[ACC1224]

Lot of discussion on moving on but I'm curious how many of you are confident that this will happen.
Question isn't should they? that has been beaten to death.

The question is a simple WILL IT HAPPEN?

Time to go.

I think Treliving will at least approach him regarding a potential move. The only way Marner stays is if he refuses to waive his NTC, but the man must have some pride...

'Maybe' isn't a poll option.

 

[GoonieFace]

I said no and he will be re-signed. Just because this organization is a tire fire.

Better not be for a raise, and no more NMC unless it takes money off the AAV

Signing these guys to top dollar and giving every negotiation clause to them all is ridiculous

 

[CapspaceKiller]

He's traded for a winger/center of lesser value on a way better contract.

He's very likely going to a playoff team due to the NMC.

They will resign him. Then they can ask him to waive if they mutually want to part ways and need to get a decent trade package in return.

 

[ITM]

Preferably.

And how about a great real estate market like the US. NW and Seattle...for Vince Dunn.

Win-win, Mitch.

Good option, I'll add that.

Mitch does himself no favours with his media avails. I cannot defend this guy anymore. That was a horrible press conference.

“We are looked upon as God’s” no Mitch you couldn’t be farther off base. Many of the fans hate your guts. This guy ain’t waiving his NMC. Forget about it

So that's a 'No' from you then?

 

[Niagara Bill]

Trade for a number 1 dman would benefit this team.
But my vote is, no trade he stays but no new deal signed this year.
He is a real valued asset that has the Leafs but the short ones.
Only his agent can trade him and work out a new long term deal maybe with Dubas.

A strange way of looking at this asset is
1, trade for good value is best option
2. Play him and let him walk. Clearing his cap space is a far better option than signing him long term with nmc
3. Sit him in press box, eat the space next year.
4. Sign him short term, 1 or 2 years
5. Sign him long term and live with him for 6 more years

An accountant like Pelly would consider options 4 and 5. A hockey team guy would never consider 4 or 5.

He’s staying, they will let him walk next year

 

[HarryLime]

I feel like a **** saying this but I got run off these boards after 2020 and 2021 saying he was part of the problem with our flame outs. Sucks to take vindication from seeing your team lose, but I've become petty in misery.

I will say, he is a hard worker and a nice kid, so I do wish him the very best. Nobody deserves to be criticized the way we do on him, so I do feel bad bashing the guy so much.

Wait, did he actually say that?

Regarding the OP. I don’t think he gets moved if for now other reason than he says no. I don’t think he gets re-signed either but it’s possible

 

[francis246]

Wait, did he actually say that?

Yes, he was asked what makes playing here special and how he feels players are viewed here

 

[ACC1224]

Yes, he was asked what makes playing here special and how he feels players are viewed here

He's not wrong. How many are hanging on and dissecting every word these guys say today?

 

[Sypher04]

Huh. I think I know what he meant but he could really use some media training. Poor choice of words imo

 

[nuck]

I voted he moves because so many people think its possible. He does hold all the cards but I think they move him if they can.

 

[socko]

If Shanahan isn't fired on Thursday, then Mitch is coming back.

Well I didn’t mind the rest of his press conference but Marner was asked what he thinks it means to be a Maple Leaf.

“It means the world to me, we are looked upon as Gods”

That’s the full context. He’s just bad at speaking, we all know what he meant but that’s something you say to the boys. Not media avail because it comes across as you care more about the status than actually winning.
