Player Discussion Mitch Marner - On Hiatus

[Superstar]

He hasnt been ALL NHL team in 2 years and hasnt been close really these past two years

95 pt 1 time selke finalist winger is not impressive aa you think

Wingers who are better than Marner

Kucherov
Rantanen
Pasta
Tkachuk
Panarin

Wingers who are in same tier as Marner

Jason Robertson
Kirill Kaprizov

He is the 6th to 8th best winger in the league who doesnt have a great skating game and will be 28 at the time of being a UFA

That ignores his epic playoff failures all together.

We just saw 2 comparable wingers in Gaudreau and Huberdeau get insane money in their late 20s after elite years for past several years fall off.

Nylander was a better player than Marner for the full 2023-2024 season. If marner has another comparable year where Nylander outplays him again at 11.5M then he will need to take less than that to get his money

Next year is a big season for marner, whether in toronto or anywhere. He is at threat to be a non top 10 winger in the league if nylander continues playing like this, and reinhart, forsberg and a few other wingers have a repeat year.

League scoring is crazy high but marner is a non threat in any race (rocket, ross, assist title, hart, lindsay). It shows you he just a great player who isnt a franchise talent outside of toronto

Sad to think that Marner will be 28 when he's a UFA...this core is getting old before our eyes with not much to show for...Leafs had so much promise. It is crazy to think they could run it back after 8 years of playoff futility.

Makes me think some of these posters that defend Marner tooth and nail have been hired by Mitch’s camp.

Mirtle probably biting his tongue.

Crazy rumours.

James Mirtle had an interesting comment about the Marner camp today on the Leaf Report. I checked the podcast and the audio snip is accurate.

Anyone got Cole’s notes on what is said?

Not a podcast guy, and not really a Mirtle guy either, but I’m bored, curious, and a bit obsessed.

TIA

I think it is the most reasonable outcome.

That would be about 12.5% of the cap in a 93 million cap. What would you possibly think a 95 pt 1st team all star selke nominated winger would ask for?

About 14% is pretty standard for his stats.

That would be about 13.

He gets his money. He gets a small raise. More than Willie. It’s fair

I think he’s already paid too much for what he provides. I don’t even want to re-sign him. I want him gone at all costs.

Basically Mirtle said that Marner has private security that like to harass the media for him.

I'm finding it easier and easier to believe that he's unhappy and will waive his NMC.

[Eternal Leaf]

Mirtle dropped some bombs today , he said he’s been blackballed by Mitch’s camp for 5 years and that Mitch’s private security was harassing media members.

If only they knew how to treat a God the right way.

I hope not. I’ll be glad when we move on from him. Then I can at least enjoy the atmosphere of the team again. If we only make 1 move, that’s it for me. The playoff culture needs a change and it’s a change from the core not the “snot”.

So in your mind. A league minimum contract is too much?

Private security people to harass media members?

Wow, I don’t know how true this is but if so, that’s just so disgusting. Although this does make sense, he and his camp takes the fans perception of himself and his brand way too heavily.

I can only imagine what he and they would do if he has a 60 point season similar to 18-19 nylander. Marner might just sit the rest of the season out

Is there actually anything to this or is it just tabloid garbage?

Reporter notes that there is "strange stuff" going on with Marner's sensitive camp:

• Blackballed, mad at said reporter for unknown reasons.
• Feuds going on.
• Private security that harasses media.

Reporter concludes that he feels bad for Marner.

Adam Wylde reports this a few years ago and people dismissed it as nothing.

Marner to Vegas

Interesting.

With respect to his private security, do you know if he had that service before the carjacking incident?

If it was after, I can understand the security element.

The private security harassing (proactively) the media...is a different kettle of fish.

Mirtle isn't employed by one of the ownership media outlets so they can't easily blackmail him into asking softball questions like the other shills.

From what I read on this through Reddit. It was before the car jacking but that is not a proven fact.

 

[BrannigansLaw]

No that’s a ridiculous extreme. I want him gone for anything he’d feasibly ask for. Even if it was just his current salary.

 

[Not My Tempo]

“Stop f***ing crying bro” is what needed to be said to him in like his sophomore season when Babs put him on the 4th line.

His camp seems toxic as hell.

 

[Legion34]

Adam Wylde reports this a few years ago and people dismissed it as nothing.

He also said Marner wants out.

I would take him back at Willy contract. I think it’s best for all if he moves on

Kaprizov belongs with the first group. He most certainly is better than Marner. Kaprizov, in just his 4th season, had 46 goals and 96 points in 75 games. The next best player on wild had 69. Marner relies way to much on his teammates for him produce. Marner, playing with Matthews produced less points /60 than Kaprizov with a 60 point linemate.
