Player Discussion Marner

[francis246]

lol. Dude, you're delusional. Marner is lucky to get $8m on a real team.

You’re saying Marner is gonna get $8 mill on the open market and you have the audacity to call me delusional?

I’m not even sure you read or understood my post. Just replied to reply.

On a real team. By real team, I mean a team that actually has the goal of winning a Stanley Cup.

Media personalities aren't there to be right. Media personalities are there to drive engagement. You're talking about it, so she did her job.

"Lame excuse of the day" award!

If Rantanen walks I could 100% see Colorado taking whatever money allocated for him and offering to Marner. Might be cheaper for them to go to Marner. It’s identical pending UFA situations. Rantanen could stay but he could leave, I’m sure he feels like he is worth just as much as Nathan MacKinnon

Rantanen might just be. But for any team with Cup aspirations, Marner is not. He's NOT a $10 million dollar player.

On a we want to win buy in team. 8-9m. On a we need him to win team like 10m-11m. On the Leafs he probably think 13-14m. At which point Marner should be fired out of. A clown Canon shot from coast to coast.

This has always been my criticism of Marner, he just moves around in open ice, lifting an opponents stick is as close as he wants to get to a dirty area of the ice. I'm sure this is exactly what Berube was getting at: the difference between competing hard and working hard. Marner works hard, but his compete level is almost nonexistent.

Watch the Bruins series and he looks like he's in a shinny game.

When I watch Marner I’m starting to see a lot of extra movement(wasted) like he’s figure skating. He puts in a lot of extra wasted effort. Hes got a bad habit on the PK when it’s time to change he moves to the far side away from the benches and stays out that little bit longer.

I think the most glaring thing was the McAvoy play in the playoffs. That sums up Mitch in the playoffs. Not willing to go the extra mile.

Is it not willing or not able to go the extra mile? All we know is they don’t do it.

He is always making pointless movements. He gets stung on them and throws away the puck all the time because of it.

Those 'advanced' stats sure are pretty though aren't they?

 

[Smif]

Agreed, his numbers prove it. His points are more a reflection of heavy minutes and playing with skilled linemates than his own ability.

Marner has 1 goal, 7 points in 7 games, and is a -2.

• 3 assists are on the PP.
• 2 assists are phantom (one from a clearing attempt, the other a dump-in).
• 1 assist was a shot attempt creating rebound which came 5v5 while playing on a $36 million line.

No matter what the Marner fans are trying to sell, it's not looking good.

Aye, you left out his GWG, shocker...

He's been below average this season, but still better than Matthews. Matthews, the captain, and his 13M+ salary is the guy to look to for more at this point. Where are the Matthew's threads??

When Marner collects multiple Art Ross’s (Rocket equivalent), multiple 100+pt seasons, and plays the hardest skater position, he can then be given the benefit of the doubt like Matthews.

He is going to be much better when Matthews scores goals that are recorded as goals on the score sheet.
