That would be me. Marner still hasn't proven me wrong by the way, he's exactly who I thought he was.

Wow just wow. I thought the main boards were being unfair but here we have Leaf fans being just as bad. Is this the patience everyone was going to show for the rebuild?
Nevermind, don't answer.

One of the most dominant players in the OHL?
He can't play anywhere besides his stacked Jr team. Goose egg in camp and garbage showing at wjc. He put up points against Denmark, besides that he's been trash.
Didn't want him drafted, saw this from a mile away. He hasn't proven me wrong yet.
Nah, I was pretty much the only voice of a reason here that knew it was very likely that Marner would end up as a winger at the pro level. If I remember correctly, that was the ultimate selling point on Marner because he played center for like 10 games in the playoffs last year and thus why we should of taken him over Hanifin/Strome. It was and still is foolish to pass up on organizational weaknesses in center/defense to take him. Especially when said player wasn't even BPA on the board. It just reeked of extending the olive branch from Hunter.
To be completely honest, I don't really give a crap about what Marner does in junior. He's supposed to dominate, and anything else should be sending red flags to people.

Let's just save ourselves a lot of time, just admit you don't know much about hockey and it is blind hate at this point for Marner.
Who cares if he's a winger? Our organizational weakness is talent, period. All this crying over not drafting a D man is a joke, we drafted a talented player who can be developed at any forward position.

What reason would I have to hate marner?
He's a small winger who has trouble processing the game against elite competition in his age group. Thats just facts.
Not easy being right all the time. Us "realists" have a tough time on this board.

Shake your pillow dude. He has nothing to earn more than any other onthe team.
Edit: actually i don't even know what you are talking about. I don't think you watched much did yoy? I'm serious how much of the games did you watch.

Wingers like Patrick Kane are more dominant on the ice than many first line centres.
Don't get too caught up in position - especially with minor league players was where's they play now may not be where they play in the a NHL.
