Player Discussion Marner

[stickty111]

Addition by subtraction at this point

 

[Byron Bitz]

If I was Marner and Dubas offered me 10.9 million I would have turned it down and said wtf are you doing? Why are you offering me that much I’m not worth it. Give me 9 million and il be happy to make that much and play for my hometown team and there will actually be some money left over for us to have some depth.

 

[hamzarocks]

Unless he can become a different player these should be the last 81 games of Mitch Marner in a TML sweater

Nylander and Matthews unfortunately were kept

Wish we had stsrted rebuilding in summer of 2023 when dubas f***ed off. Instesd we will have this medicore core for the next 4 years frustrsting and giving 1st round failures.

So much potential from 16, 88, and 34 back in 2017

Looks completely wasted now

 

[Suntouchable13]

Imagine thinking this guy is worth 12M lol.

 

[wingman75]

I don't understand how this guy doesn't understand that simplifying his game when the team is struggling will help more than whatever it is he thinks he is doing.

I mean, at this point I guess he never will.

I also wish when the team is struggling he would take charge and settle things down, but he usually makes things worse. Amazing what $12 mil gets you these days.

 

[stickty111]

Maybe another I love Toronto video gets him going

 

[TheDoldrums]

the narrative was that Marner would come out flying like Nylander last year and make it impossible to not want to re-sign him

unfortunately for mitch the reality is he starts slow every single year, even going back to junior. His summer routine must be awful because it's every year with this guy. He picks it up around December.

 

[HellasLEAF]

I think I would move him to PP2. He is a problem with the power play as essentially he is just a cycle guy that will look to set someone up. No real threat to score really and it makes him predictable on the pp. It was the same problem with Rielly no shot or threat to score. Mitch is capable of scoring if he gets in close but he is rarely there.

 

[Visnovsky]

Just get off this team, please.

 

[Eternal Leaf]

We all know what has to be done.

We also know Shanny and company don't have the guts to do it.

Would this be before or after you declined several other contract offers and held out into training camp?

It was reported that this summer he worked hard

 

[CapspaceKiller]

Definitely ready to move on. A player that never evolved past his 3rd year due to a lack of work-ethic.

[Gary Nylund]

It was reported that this summer he worked hard

And he skated with MacKinnon who said nice things about him, and someone praised Marner for being a sponge. It was also said this summer that he had potential.

 

[Bust]

"Marner hearing it from the fans..."

Who predicted that??

 

[LeafSteel]

Luckily he’s ready for Halloween.

He can show up for the season stat in December, as per usual.

It’s time to move on.

More thought in the costume than in his game

Could just have dressed up as a Leafs player ie himself to scare the kids

 

[Nineteen67]

The look on his face when he got his stick lifted on breakaway was priceless.

 

[Sundinisagod]

If the Leafs extend Marner I think I'll be pulling a @ToneDog

I can't handle another 8 years of MM.

He is slow as shit now

His ankle sprains seems to cost him his straightline speed and edgework

He has the makings of a Huberdeau like contract. Have to avoid at all costs if his plau style doesnt change and his speed and elusiveness seems shot come playoffs

His speed is below the 50th percentile . I noticed the first time I saw him play in Tampa that he was slower than most of the stars, but shifty.

So time to abandon the SS Mitch Marner?

They can’t now…….. unless it gets ugly and he requests a trade.

True. I guess we are all waiting for the Berube is mean article.
