But he only said he wasn't ready for the start of the game though...
Someone should ask him when he’s ever been ready to start a game.

I can't believe we have an 11m cap hit for Marner right now. Guy is a 7-8M player.
Don't care how many points he racks up in the reg season, he is just a one dimensional pass only player.
Don't care that he kills penalties, you can usually sign guys that do that in the offseason for 1-2M and bury them on your third or fourth line

The amount of comical errors from him I can't imagine star players like Crosby, Mackinon, and Kane making.
The only thing Marner is "making" is more $$$
Why is he so indecisive? Dude is a deer in the headlights out there. No wonder teams can focus on Matthews. There is no other threat on that line. Soft.

And Point makes what, 6.5 million in Tampa? That's what really kills me, he couldn't hold Brayden Points jock.
Both are more than realistic IMO.
Marner is owed substantially less than Eichel coming off a better year and can be the franchise player they need. Jones doesn't want to re-sign, Rielly may. He also brings offense they need

Bro I hate hearing that excuse. From ANY player league-wide.
You're a professional player paid MILLLLLLIONS.
The fact he (among others) goes to it all the time is so annoying. Like tell your PR people to help you.
He more than most of our players really care about the fanbase and all (esp being Leaf fan young) so his perception among fans has to remain top. He wants to play on Leafs fans emotions, but boy, you better get to scoring in playoffs right quick.

He might tell you he thought he was ready...he had his jaw all warmed up grinding on his mouth guard...

Or Eichel's well enough to play but he's never as good as he was and we lose Marner.
Marner will always be special during the regular season. He and Matthews have a connection and Matthews would be worse off without him.
If I'm the Leafs, keep Marner but know that in the playoffs, we need to find another way. What that way is... I don't know.
Matthews needs to also accept his share of the responsibility. He had 3 points in one game, got a phantom assist in another, and worthless thru most of the rest.

Lets hope Buffalo head office is not watching. Send them a regular season highlight tape.

LOL, we lose Marner...we have Marner now and he's doing jack squat and costing $11 million on the cap.

He just had his best season. Again, be careful what you wish for.

He can still be worth it for us but this whole playoff disappearance act he (among other LEAFS) pulls has to be fixed. His whole pass-first mentality DEF needs to be tweaked. He is TOO predictable.
He's a great player. A real talent. It's just a shame the way the game is officiated truly in playoffs that some players get turned off. It's a shame it has to be players that went TOP5 or TOP10.

Playoffs is when it matters. We don't need Marner to make the playoffs, but we need more than what he's bringing to win the Cup.

Nah, I don't care about the regular season. It's easy to put up points in the regular season, just look at McDavid. Couldn't do anything against WPG. His season means jack shit now. Same for Marner.

I have been following the Eichel neck story more than most and it's... complicated. If I'm the Leafs, I don't make that trade.

Sometimes in playoffs star players dont show up for a round and others step up, then they advance, then next round star players produce.
Maybe Leafs can pull that off. So far Spezza, defense, and others have produced.

Ok, so how does the team improve then? You think they can win the Atlantic division with status quo?

Who cares if you're a first round out? Great, he finished 4th in scoring let's build a statue for him.
