Yeah 8 years wont age well, imagine how over paid Mitch will be when he loses his great skating ability. Give him the Matthews term except this time it’s our idea.

Nah I wouldn't waste that cap space the next three years will probably be Matthews best, we need the best possible roster in that period. Matthews could bolt after his current contract weather we succeed or fail, or he may start to decline. We've given Marner more than enough rope here. He is what he is at this point.

The pattern goes back to his junior days. I remember some folks fretting in his D+1 when he was sent back to London and he took a few weeks to get going.
I don't doubt he will heat up but it will likely mean there's a higher probability that a new contract won't be agreed upon until closer to the spring (at the earliest - if both sides still want to go that path)
Starts slow and ends slower.
Might even be slow in general given his decision making

Best part of going to the game last night was booing this loser. A disgrace to the maple leaf jersey. A real life Mr burns in terms of greed.

And look where that brilliant strategy has taken the team.
Marner is a stone cold loser. Slow, soft, pouty, petty, greedy. Head filled with shambles.

I want to see him gone but we all know he will thrive in the next place he goes and this will look bad. But I still want him gone
Well everyone is an armchair quarterback. I’ll just believe in the people being paid to make the correct decisions over some internet poster.

Now that you mention it, envision a 27 year old Mr Burns in real life, dead ringer for Money Mitch.
The people being paid have clearly not made the right decisions.

I don’t see him thriving elsewhere at all. He’s going to have lesser line mates and I expect him to mail it in once he signs the giant long term deal.
Wish we moved on from him this past off-season. Not sure how much longer I can stand watching this group of losers, mainly Marner.

Actually he was on for 9 of the 15 goals against (and on for one goal for).

The one thing we can all agree on (I think) is that the stars all need to buy in to the new system and do their part as a team player. Being on a certain line because better stats when contracts come up is a terrible look.
Willy went all out last year for his contract but I think overall he didn't hurt the team for instance. He was pretty clutch and the overall impressions here are positive despite most everyone agreeing he was overpaid for the effort.
Now with the new coach, Mitch needs to accept its a new style and maybe the points won't be there and maybe AM MM is not the best look for the system. Having them stop playing for the coach already is just a bad omen. They may as well blow it up if that's the level of entitlement.
From what I’ve seen the Captain has had plenty of opportunities to bury the puck but he hasn’t. Must be Marner’s fault but when the Captain scores it’s in spite of Marner. I see.

Marner stunk last game.
It was a brutal effort. He was, by far, the worst player on the team. I doubt all those boo's were for him but they may as well have been.
That was a standout pathetic performance in a game full of pathetic performances from the entire team.
Missing the playoffs while only booking seventy five points isn't a good look in a contract year. This is just so typical of Marner. There's a lot riding on the line and he doesn't do well in situations like this.
The bigger the occasion the smaller his performance.
So we get to be treated to playoffs Marner the whole season. Aren't we lucky as fans. This could still get a lot uglier before it gets better.
I can't wait to see Marner riding pine if he has another smelly game like the last.
