Proposal: Mitch Marner for Brock Boeser. Potched eggs on toast!

[HFpapi]

Actually, leafs management should be unemployed because they don’t have the balls to shake up the top 6.

You don't need balls to trade the leagues 4th leading scorer for the 120th leading scorer you need strong drugs or a cognitive disorder.

I'm sure the Leafs will survive without Brock "Mr. June" Boeser and his 23 career playoff points.

Marner's value is quite a bit more than Brock's.

Boeser is honestly a ghost most games that you watch. He doesn't drive any play. Might notice him on the PP. Marner is levels above him. I am pretty sure VAN doesn't even want to sign him again (would be a bad signing).

This trade would benefit both teams…short term only as both players are going to get paid this offseason.

It sucks that we’re losing a fan favourite but if this swap occurs then I believe it would be beneficial to both teams….for this years playoff run only

TO gets that shooter on the PP and should solidify the top 6 while Van gets a play making winger besides Garland to help out Pettersson & Miller as they struggle.

A straight up Canadian hockey trade to help each other in their divisions

What do you guys think?

..what is a potched egg, and how is it relevant here? I gotta know.

Mariner is a better offensive player but I honestly would rather have Boeser. Boeser is good defensively, shows up come playoffs, brings decent size and is hard to push around. There’s also going to be a big difference in their cap hit which allows us to add other pieces.

I mean, it wouldn’t happen 1-for-1, Leafs would want more but I’d still prefer to keep Boeser over Marner, Boeser’s last playoff run is better than anything Marner has done in a single playoff run.

Not a fair trade, in the playoffs Boeser is the type of guy that will score a hat trick at the end of the game to will his team to overtime and win. Whereas Marner will take a delay of game penalty rather than take a hit, then rip off his team at the contract table come negotiation time. Leafs add big time

regular season that is arguable i guess when marner piles up meaningless points.

but boeser has a massively superior playoff record.

I'm convinced this is a coordinated joke from Canucks fans

Boeser has been to the playoffs twice in his 9 year career and has a 0.79 career ppg in the playoffs. (The infamous playoff no-show Marner is 0.88 ppg in the playoffs btw).

You're talking about his playoff record like he's prime Messier. He has 23 career playoff points.

As a verb, potch has two meanings.

The first is a dialectical variant of poached. The second is basically bleaching in a device called a potcher, which is used in the paper making process. The prestigious operator of the potcher is known as a potcherman.

I assume the poster is using the first meaning.

Marner is far better defensively.

 

[Connor McConnor]

I think I’ve seen it all now. Canuck fans are serious when they say they’d have Boeser over Marner and their arguments don’t even include cap hit

 

[beachcomber]

Never winning anything with Marner on the roster.

 

[eviohh26]

No to both. Boeser is inconsistent and doesn't drive the play at all. Marner is well. Marner. for way too much money. Rather have neither player next year .

well this is a relative comparison and, compared to marner, petr klima is prime messier. marner is generationally bad at playoff hockey. he's up there with phil housley in the annals of productive regular season contact shy players who turtle in the playoffs. watching him pull the chute in dirty areas in the playoffs is a drinking game. try it and see if you make it to the third period.

marner has lost 8 of the 9 playoff series he has played in. his stat line in 9 series deciding games is 0 goals, 2 assists, and -5. of those two assists, one was a primary assist 6 minutes into the first period of a game the leafs lost 7-4 in which marner was on for three goals against at es. the other was a secondary assist in the second period in a game he played 25 minutes without registering a shot on goal.

Yeah let's bring in serial winner Brock Boeser and let all of his winning rub off on us. He makes the playoffs 22% of the time but I'm sure he makes it really count in those 1 out of every 5 seasons he makes the big dance.

I'm not a huge Boeser fan either but unlike Marner he does show up in the playoffs. He's not going to the Leafs anyhow so don't worry about it.

Playoff points:

Boeser: 23
Marner: 50

Playoff PPG:

Boeser: 0.79
Marner: 0.88

Best Playoff:

Boeser: 12 points in 12 games
Marner: 14 points in 11 games

This is not a very fact-based thread but whatever. Done arguing with people who try to claim Brock Boeser has a history as a playoff performer.

 

[StuckOutHere]

Love me some potched eggs.

 

[Fatass]

Marner has a NMC. He either extends with the Leafs or walks away on July 1, 2025.

For those of us who don’t get this, what is meant by poached eggs in this context?

Not close at all

I mean, when your team is full of guys like Demko who can't stay on the ice, Petterson who absolutely disappeared last year when the games mattered, Hughes who couldn't even muster a goal despite scoring 17 in the regular season, and then just a slew of guys who underperformed compared to their RS production; I guess Boeser looks like a playoff warrior in comparison?

They're nucks "fans", they don't watch a lot of hockey so give em a break.

 

[AvatarAang]

I read some recent posts from canucks fans that think they will trade one of EP40/Miller for Draisaitl so I am not surprised that they also think they can trade Boeser for Marner

 

[beachcomber]

What has Boeser won?

Nothing, I'm not a fan of him either but Marner isn't a guy to win anything with. Give me a Brayden Point all day everyday over a guy like Marner. A guy like that is what the Leafs need.

Well, I don't think you're in any danger of landing Marner on the Canucks, and you needn't worry about the Leafs.
