Player Discussion Mitch Marner - On Hiatus

[SeanMoneyHands]

So if Marner is a Leaf on day one next season, do fans cheer him or boo him?

 

[Trapper]

Yeah we will sure show him who's boss while he cries at home with his hundred million dollars.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. If Leafs give him another $100 million, they will deserve the apathy they get next year. See Jays and Raps.

Fans will cheer. He's done nothing to warrant a different response.

 

[Gary Nylund]

Yes nobody wants him traded, and everyone looks at him like he's some sort of god. Don't believe what people are saying and how they're voting in polls to trade him, it's all part of a conspiracy involving millions of people to make money Mitch look bad.

 

[57 Years No Cup]

Signing Marner to an extension is 100% the stupidest move they could ever make. Even if they get rid of the NMC, if it doesn't work out the Leafs will end up retaining money, and lots of it.

No thanks.

I didn’t know Craig was a comedian.
Marner taking 11.6 without a NMC.

He must not watch the Leafs or he’s trolling us.

My point is that cap space is a good thing and the idea that it isn't because our GM won't spend it wisely is dumb.

Cap space can cripple your team if used incorrectly...

 

[myleafs]

Button is someone I rarely agree with and he has been pushing the you can't just let a player like Marner leave in a trade or let him walk for nothing...so just pay him train....funny he says pay him 11.7 but yea you need really good dmen and a goalie to win. And how are the leafs gonna do that exactly?

 

[Notsince67]

If our team gets worse by trading Marner, can you explain how it would make sense?

How does cap make us better? Our core has outperformed our depth pretty much every year... we can't find good depth, so how does more money solve this? We've had the cap for it in the past.

This place has deteriorated a lot. When comments like that are made about a future hall of fame player in his prime, the lunatics have taken over the asylum. To boot, they seem to be proud of their ignorance.

In what world is Marner worth more than players who actually drive the bus like Kutch, Pasta, Petey, Kaprizov, Barkov and do not need a 70 goal C to prop up his assist totals? But alas, we caved to Willie and $11.5m so Shanny deserves what he gets.

Holy hyperbole Batman!

I guess this would be an appropriate response:
Marner can cripple your team in the playoffs no matter how you use him. He can, and he will.

This place has deteriorated a lot, agreed. And it deteriorates another notch every time people like you post about how dumb everyone is.

The first commandment, "Cap space can cripple your team if used incorrectly" in a cap world that Dubas broke time and time again. Sadly Tre does not seem to be doing any better.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

2 stupid talking heads from TSN.

"The number"
11.6 x 8 year deal.
Petterson comparable.

no talk about the core being a failure, and that the key issue.

Mitch is due for a demotion. Not a raise.

These talking heads are stupid.

Tre should be fired if he signs Marner.

Huberdeau's contract is a good example of crippling your team with contracts.

For people who complain about the Tavares contract 24/7, you'd think that cap space used in the wrong way would be a familiar concept.

100% boo.

Running back the same shit is worse than trying to make a change.

I don't care if they trade people, I care if they make trades or signings that make the team significantly worse.

I don't want to be the Leafs of 10 years ago... maybe others are fine with it, but at the very least, watching a regular season that matters and then one round is more enjoyable than not caring by December.

He’s going to get a mixed reaction. The second he struggles he will get booed.

Marner isn't the difference between what we've seen the past 5 years, and the 2013 leafs. I would be utterly shocked if the team trended lower in any significant fashion after trading Marner.

Pettersson and Marner are very comparable.

Regular season assist darlings.

If given the choice, I'd take Pettersson.

Marner hasn't lived up to his contract, therefore he's due for a cut in pay.

This has been addressed many times and you just keep repeating yourself.

 

[Punch Drunk Loov]

Fans are on polar opposite sides of trade vs extend on a record setting contract. There is no need to insult each other. We're all here daily.

On the other hand, it kind of has it's own charm/character where we're getting reputations amongst ourselves.

It's like we're Ralph Wolf and Frank Sheepdog. We clock in, fight to the death, clock out as enemies and do it again tomorrow knowing we're actually on the same side. It's beautiful really.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

he needs boos day 1.
He needs to work with the team to resolve the issue.

stepping on the ice again as a leaf = not working with the team.

 

[Apex Predator]

I can’t believe they are going to run it back. This franchise is not cursed they are just failures. They are doomed to fail.
