How people arrive at their opinions isn't the issue, what pollutes this board are the gradeshool level insults as the post you responded to pointed out and you constantly calling people idiots is a case in point.
This board would laugh at them and call them chokers.
Could it be sample size? If we just use 7 games as a sample size anybody could look terrible and anybody could look great.
If Marner plays on another team and have the same stats and same team results.
Well we can go back too far. Let’s see JT’s numbers from 8 years ago, do you think they are relevant on his next deal?
I think we can all see why Marner doesn't achieve in the playoffs. He stays out on the perimeter. He wants to make fancy passes. He doesn't play even the slightest physical. He won't even block shots like he did early in his career. He throws weak floater shots from the perimeter and hopes they somehow create a goal. Even when he had an empty net this year, he stayed on the perimeter because he didn't want to receive contact. I mean it's pretty obvious when you watch the games why he doesn't perform in the playoffs.
I think he is worth 11 million per year. Where that puts him on the greatness scale, I don’t know maybe top 20 player in the league.
He keeps insulting people without saying who they are, or why he's being so insulting. Surprising to see such cowardice on the internet of all places.
Well that really brings us back to the start of the Marner saga.
I don't think that changes anything. IMO, anything can happen with this team over the summer and we won't have a clearer picture until Camp opens.
Then how about he makes a trade that actually makes the team better because as we all know the status quo with this core structure is not getting it done
You keep saying this but every decision comes with risk so this doesn't really mean anything. Unless you think bending over for Marner comes with no risk attached?
The thing is, most teams would've made changes after this much failure. Look at Florida. They were a shit team for years when they first drafted Ekblad, Barkov, Huberdeau. But a lot of that was due to bad management. They bring in a new group, have a couple great regular seasons, after 2 years realize the group doesn't have "it" and made some major changes.
But Sabres and Sens never made the playoffs 8 yrs in a row or have three and soon to be four 11mil plus players on their payroll.
Yeah, lets compare a guy who is close to the end to one that is in his prime. Either way this core has proven they cannot get it done. Time to do in a different direction. We are not here to sell jerseys.
You should worry more about avoiding the Marner deal.
