Player Discussion Mitch Marner - On Hiatus

[Trapper]

I don’t understand. If you want to stay a Leaf and it’s the only place you want to play, why would you play out the year to UFA?

 

[57 Years No Cup]

Does that mean if they don't like the public reaction they will take a different approach?

HAHAHAHA! Your fake naivety is hilarious!

Maybe you should start another poll!

Every year people always say X great player is a UFA but in reality how many make it to that
All those players you mention I guarantee will be signing with their current team. Losing one of those players would set their current team back to the beginning

Every year UFA’s sign new contracts with new teams. It’s not that unusual.

Because your agent beat them like a rented mule the last time and told you he can do it again.

Would it be a real Marner/Dan Ferris negotiation if he just happily signed a contract in a low profile way that will make the next 10 generations of Marner’s rich instead of turning it into a resentment fuelled process?

Yeah, they can take their little games and go away.
Matthews signed before UFA. For a guy that says he wants to stay, he’s playing them and bleeding them. Can’t get him out soon enough.

He wanted to last time and Dubas turned him down.
He can't sign this time until July 1.

Which works for me since I want to see Marner leave the team. Sure I don't particularly like him, I'll admit that, but it has way more to do with style of play that I want to see changed. I want the Leafs to become a physical heavy hitting team that doesn't play any of this bullcrap and I see him as by far the largest impediment to that.

And you would be correct.

Pretty much. l hope management doesn't call his bluff next year. Letting Marner walk might also send a message to the rest of the team.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

Nothing about this guy should be inviting to Marner.

Nothing.

 

[Confucius]

Does that mean if they don't like the public reaction they will take a different approach?

Probably, lol! After all the customer is always right, even when they aren’t

 

[HamiltonNHL]

Nylander doesn't even flinch.




Time to move on from Paul and Mitchy.

 

[Confucius]

How do you know the team doesn’t want him and the team is just negotiating?

Why would he? Nylander knows Mitch does squat when it matters. That said, l'm sure Paul was proud of his boy for showing such emotion.

Maybe he'll record us another apology, if it works again.

exactly, he'll go where the most money's offered, and I can't wait..............

 

[Gabriel426]

Some lucky GM will get a steal alright, which will be highway robbery once he watches Marner call it quits after game 82.

Well MM’s nickname is the Man of Steal, lol.

perhaps he is just that obtuse, I mean if asking rhetorical questions was a sport he'd win gold everyday............

 

[Trapper]

How do you know the team doesn’t want him and the team is just negotiating?

Why wouldn’t he just say this:

Brad Treliving on William Nylander’s lingering contract situation: “I’ve stated it any time I’ve been asked: Our sole objective is to get him signed”​

That’s what you say for someone you want to keep long term.

 

[Confucius]

Mathews signed Aug 23rd, why didn’t he sign July 1st. It’s not even July 1st yet.

and it cost him 11.5 x 8. Brad is not a very good negotiator. I want to buy that car of yours that’s my main objective…

Who has a better story than Bran the Broken?​

Doesn’t make any sense to me. It’s funny to see people interpret it to meet their biases though.

I rewatched Game of Thrones again this year.

I thought the battle of winterfell was better than I remember but the rest of season 8 was even worse the 2nd time

Even though you can’t sign until July 1st, Treliving made no secret it was their priority.

You said he’s not a good negotiator. Then you ask why I don’t think he’s using it as negotiating. I don’t because of what you said and he didn’t.
