Value of: Marner's Contract

[Leafshater67]

I wouldn’t have minded them paying Marner 12 if they moved Nylander but they can’t afford both. Marner has to go otherwise they’ll continue the same issues they always had and never win.

Thank you for further proving my point

Dude you dont need stats to show that Marner is not dependent on Matthews for his play.
Nor do you need stats to show that Matthews missed games in the playoffs, due to an "Unknown" bug....i.e. Tummy Ache.
Dude was flat asked if he had the Flu and he said no. I guess the rumors about him being so hung over he couldn't get out of bed, where likely true.

I hope Marner gets to Free Agency, dude deserves to play for a fan base who has a mis-guided sense of who the whipping boy should be.

Tell me something about the way he plays the game please, you keep using stats out of context to try and pretend like you know what you're talking about. You know how Mitch plays and how effective he is ? Discuss it without referencing his numbers.

How does he play the game on and off the puck ? How is his defensive ability ? How well does he play along the boards ? How does he play in physical tight checking games ? Tell me about his 5 on 5 play ? How does he match up against different teams that use different schemes ?

If you wanna have a real discussion about it, i'm all for it. But blindly using stats is pointless, I can hockeyDB and learn as much about him as you seem to know.

Marner should get 10.5-11M to a semi-contender and 12-13M to go feed Ovie for the record. 13.5-14M if Dubas is allowed near the phone.

Marner is very good and can bring a lot to certain teams. Maybe away from Toronto (or an intense spotlight) he can grow into a playoff performer. He gets too scared of making risky plays in the playoffs.

I don't know why you think Marner would ever accept the Nylander deal when his production has been far better than Nylander except for Nylander's......surprise surprise....contract year. Even then Marner was still more productive. There's no way Shannahan comes to the table with Nylander's contract even as a starting point. Shannahan loves his boys and will treat Marner as he has his other boys.

Marner like Nylander is coming for his contract this year. Leafs fans on HF will reconcile their weird hate for Marner with Burube being a Babcock like "great coach", bringing the best out of Marner unlike that damn Keefe (Leafs fans love to blame guys who just left the org).. Marner gets $13×8 by February, Leafs fans rejoice and claim they loved Marner all along.

Marner has gotten to play with Matthews far more. Nylander has been carrying Tavares for a few seasons now. Nylander also better in the playoffs and a better goal scorer AND the team views him as a center option.

And this is exactly what I thought. You seem to be going along with the whipping boy, that most casual fans have.
To use your quote, "I would suggest your start watching the games"

You clearly dont see the fact that he is not only the best set up man the Leafs currently have, but is the best set up man they have had in nearly 20 years. Further more you dont seem to be watching the same game, if you did watch the games and paid attention to Marner, you would know that the TML's score quite a bit more when he is on Ice.....I wonder why that is?
