Player Discussion Mitch Marner - On Hiatus

[danny90]

Of course. Just as I predicted, you did the PPG stat instead of the total stat you used for the regular season. You guys are so transparent.

We could use overall points in the last 5 seasons but because some players have played less or more, Corey Perry has more points than most players in the league.

Would you rather have Auston Matthews or Corey Perry?

 

[francis246]

If MM is this great player, our best playoffs performer according to some here. How come no teams are offering great package to trade for him?

Tkachuk did it with a year left and Tre got a great package, just that he renewed Hubie a few months too early. I would take a 1st round pick, a top pairing puck moving RHD and top line winger for MM.

Yet, all we hear is that teams are not offering anything close to that.

I think the best way for all the MM can’t do no wrong Fans Club, to get a gotcha to the rest of Leafsnation is for MM to get traded for an amazing package. That way it just proves that MM is, as some suggested, a top 5 player in the league.

Like Keller, 2 1st rounder and Geekie from Utah
Or
Pietra, Roy,Thompson, 2 1st rounder
or
Parayko, Thomas, 2 1st rounder

If MM gets one of those package and more. I will start a MM most underrated and under appreciated thread.

You do realize that Tkachuk was traded after July 1st right? He was traded like a week or two into July. What’s your point?

Corey Perry.

 

[Racer88]

Who helps who more?

The two players who play together and are about even in points or the player who puts up double his linemate's points?

Also, watching them, it is obvious.

It’s obvious if you have a bias view

You know what I have learned after 326 pages of this thread?
2 things
1- Dubas was awesome and could do no wrong
2- Marner is beyond awesome and we should give him whatever he wants because we certainly wouldn’t survive as a team, we would go right back to what we were 10 years ago.
Yet we keep on losing…….must be simply bad luck or the lower paid guys fault

 

[trellaine201]

Dubas did it the wrong way! Overpayment and loyalty and built from the forwards to goalie! Backwards.

 

[danny90]

Corey Perry.

Perry has 37 points in his last 97 playoff games.
Matthews has 35 in 35 playoff games.
Marner 33 in 37 playoff games.

These stats are for the last 5 years.

Taking Perry over either of these players would be an astronomically bad decision.

Run it back !!!

After years of unwavering support, president Brendan Shanahan said the team will "look at everything this summer and consider everything this summer" (from a desk in New York) at Toronto's year-end press conference.

 

[Gary Nylund]

Perry has 37 points in his last 97 playoff games.
Matthews has 35 in 35 playoff games.
Marner 33 in 37 playoff games.

These stats are for the last 5 years.

Taking Perry over either of these players would be an astronomically bad decision.

Are you sure? Have you done a deep dive into the advanced stats?

I haven't heard one rumor of a package offered yet. Where did you hear that the offers were underwhelming?

 

[notDatsyuk]

What was Willie supposed to do on that play exactly the complete opposite side of the ice was his responsibility

Take the blame.

 

[notDatsyuk]

Who do you replace them with then ?

Based on he latter part of the season, Domi and Bert.

If we're looking at the playoffs, Domi, Bert, Knies, and maybe even Boosh.

 

[notDatsyuk]

Definitely not. Nobody pays out $7.5M when they can wait a few days to trade for him. What he gets on his next contract has nothing to do with it.

And what if they say "before July I or no deal"?

Are you saying a team has no problem paying $101M, but won't pay $108M?

 

[Gabriel426]

I didn’t say when the trade will happen.

I am saying if it will happen or not

I haven't heard one rumor of a package offered yet. Where did you hear that the offers were underwhelming?

Did I say any offers?
I said if he is really that valuable, there will be great packages

Heard today at the Prescott Hotel down on Preston St from someone who has some juice in Ottawa hockey circles

Ottawa 1st Ottawa 2nd 2025 Chychrun Pinto

Marner resigned Kampf

You alluded that there were offers already and that they were underwhelming.

Too good to be true.

 

[Craig Button]

Matthews has 35 in 35 playoff games.
Marner 33 in 37 playoff games.

These stats are for the last 5 years.

Take those facts and get the hell out of here.

Would Marner waive to go to Ottawa?

 

[3blizzard4]

Would Marner waive to go to Ottawa?

All you gotta do is tell him there are no gods there. He would be the only god.

 

[Kiwi]

Would Marner waive to go to Ottawa?

It's close to home but I have some doubts

You had me in the first half buddy. I'm not going to lie!

 

[Antropovsky]

Dubas did it the wrong way! Overpayment and loyalty and built from the forwards to goalie! Backwards.

He didn't really build anything... he took a team with incredible amount of assets, depleted them and then left. Not before instilling maybe the worst culture in the league.

His moves in Pittsburgh were #$%# too. His moves are what I expect from armchair gms. He loves chasing that diamond in the rough.

 

[Gabriel426]

Well, if there is a great offer, pretty sure MM would had been traded by now.

Do you honestly think that if Utah comes in with the 100mil extension for MM, then have Keller, Geekie and two 1st rounders.
Pretty sure all parties would had said yes.
And then have the pending physical till July 2 to make it official, but would announce it bc it brings buzz to Utah before the draft and into the off season.

Ironically he had plenty of hidden gems that he gave away before they actually turned into good players. Marchment, McCann, Rodrigues, Amadio, Trevor Moore, Noesen, Barabanov, Dakota Joshua etc all gone with basically nothing to show for them all so we could keep around useless chodes like Kerfoot, Holl, Engvall, Malgin etc.
