Not good enough still for the amount he’s being paid. He’s paid to be a difference maker and he hasn’t shown up for multiple years already when playoffs come. Criticism at his play is definitely warranted.

If they lose game 7, he's getting traded. There's no way he's surviving something like this.

The Marner fan group has said he is better then Eichel, and would have gone 2nd overall. Yeah okay.
Maybe Hunter would because in his eyes, Marner has all this character and the best player in this world, but no rational man believes that.

Year after year of failure in the playoffs. Why is it still a "hot take"?? Lol

For me the damage is done. Being the hero in an crisis situation of your own creation is not all that commendable.
Someone - Paul Marner - has to grad this guy by the shoulders, shake some sense into him.
"Stop trying to be something you're not.
You're not going to score 40 goals a season. Stop trying to score. Start playing like you did during the year, where you facilitate and create for others who will score. The goals will come naturally, but not by trying to force them."
The "hasn't scored in XXXXX games" thing is really weighing heavily on Marner and he's just playing stupidly in the offensive zone. It's incredibly infuriating to watch.

No, he’s already failed a few times. This is the on track to failing the redemption tour.

Yeah dumb players make dumb plays. Thanks for the note Mitch.
It's at the point you could score a hat trick in game 7 and nobody will support you. Whatever happens, he needs to go in the off season.
Marner will go be a playoff hero wherever he gets traded. But I don't believe any more that he can do it here. Not while he's got all the pressure of being a fan (that comes with loads of Leafs trauma) AND getting paid way too much money. Too young, surrounded with the wrong people. If he can go somewhere where he can just play hockey, he'll be dynamite. He can do that in the regular season here, but he just can't seem to do it in the playoffs.
And in no way do I mean to let Matthews off the hook here. But if we have to trade 1 player from the core to shake things up, I think it's Marner.
f*** this is the kind of post that I hope I read in a month and laugh about.

I don't want the Rocket Scientists performing brain surgery on me.
I don't want the Brain Surgeons working on the Space Shuttles.
They are both excellent at what they do best, but they need to understand that they have limitations and adhere to their specialty...
Marner is forgetting what kind of player he is.
If Keefe isn't going to stop that, who the hell will?
Time and time again, he has shown to make unnecessary plays that often lead to errors.
Though I prefer to think that Marner can turn it around, I saw the writing on the wall a long time ago. This kid needs a sharp kick in the pants and a trade oughta do it.

Av’s dealt Duchene after their young core was t showing progress. It’s worked out well for them so far.

It looks like everytime he touches the puck he immediately begins overthinking things and can't get anything done offensively
That over the glass penalty seemed like it was the result of his mind being a thousand miles away.

Expecting a I love Toronto video from Marner after Monday.
Considering where he was when he flipped the puck and all the time he had to make his decision, this is all so comical. Blame Matthews all you want, he deserves criticism, but Marner is next level.
Trade him, bring him back when's he's 40 and put him on the 4th line.
As much as I'm leaning towards the "maybe Marner needs a change of scenery", people shouldn't expect to be blown away by return potential trade brings. I'll venture a guess any trade would involve Leafs carrying portion of his contract. You guys remember we're still paying for such trade involving mr. Kessel, right?
