Just f***ing trade him already.
What's taking so long. Do they really think the Oilers or Panthers are gonna take him. The Oilers already have RNH.
RNH and Marner look so similar they could be dopplegangers.
They aren't gonna want another face like that. And they aren't gonna want Marner's holier-than-though attitude either. I could only imagine the reaction in Edmonton the first time Marner says it's the rest of the teams fault they lost and he wasn't gonna change anything about the way he plays.
Then tells everyone he doesn't care what any of them think.
He's Mitch "hockey god" Marner. The opinions of the unwashed heathen who worship him don't matter. Marner's above reproach because in his mind it's everyone else's fault but his.
Trading Marner and his "I'M better than YOU" attitude is the necessary first step in changing the culture of this team.
LOL for all the insight you pour on this website it’s crazy to me that you don’t understand the nuances of Marner’s contract.
1. He cannot sign a contract extension prior to July 1st.
2. He has a fcking NMC, Marner is gonna move when Marner is ready to move.
3. He has a huge bonus due on July 1st, no team is taking on his contract before that is paid by the leafs. Whoever gets him is looking forward to paying him less than $1,000,000 in real money for one season.
4. He carries a 10.9 cap hit, that deal is gonna take weeks or even months to sort out. It’s not NHL 24.
5. There’s a possibility the organization wants to keep him or maybe Berube wants to keep him.
