Player Discussion Marner

[Confucius]

He’s a career over point a game player with and without Matthews so why are we sticcin them together spread the offense

Maybe Mathews needs the help

Can’t deny that, matty will have a down year similar to Ovi putting in a 30 something season amongst his 50 something seasons. Thankfully we have Stolarz, William, Knies and Mich they will do the heavy lifting this year

"Mitch Marner has 16 goals, 52 assists and a plus-minus of +16 in 56 games without Auston Matthews in his career"​

Only 56 games... in his career? Thus must be while Matthews was injured? Technically, he is
without him when they are on separare lines too.

And when he is not wjth Matthews, he was with the other Leaf #1 center, 11 million dollar Tavares. Oh no poor Marner had to play with Tavares when Matthews was hurt!

Dont look at the players some other great players play with every game. Like Kaprizov, Aho or someone like Hall in 2018.

Honestly, I am at a point where I could careless what they do individually in the regular season.
Any of the Leafs could score 80 goals in the regular season but if they all collectively choke again in the first round, it really means nothing.

Well it would be great to win a Cup. But if all we get is an entertaining season where we earn 100 points I’m happy and upbeat most of the winter

Yes, playoffs is the obvious retort, and with good reason. We've seen encouraging signs from Marner every year during the regular season but you should know by now that it means nothing. Pumping this guys tires during the regular season only shows how gullible you are, best to drink your koolaid quietly.

He is desperate for a contract, of course hes playing every shift like its his last right now.. he wants to stay here. And no way he signs one with a limited no trade. Thing with Nylander is even when hes hardly trying he is producing. Marner needs to give 110% effort and even still hes not really generating scoring chances for his line.

Leafs have also learned that once Marner gets that NMC... there is nothing that will get him to waive. We are stuck with him for certain.

Cup or whatever for me.

It's frustrating seeing how good Matthews/Domi were last year and having Berube basically avoid them ever being together this season

If we can get a center at the deadline, we should reunite Matthews/Domi and let Marner play with the new acquisition. Spreads out the talent and will give us 3 really good lines

Knies - Matthews - Domi
Patches - Tavares - Nylander
McMann - XXX - Marner

If they get someone like Gourde that L3 suddenly becomes an elite matchup line that can score

Even swap Nylander and Marner doesn’t matter
