The Marner camp are not stupid. They know Toronto is their only hope to get more than the Nylander contract. I dare the Leafs and Marner camp to play it out so we can see who steps up and pays him.
That's how most feel, it's all the made up garbage people have an issue with.
Guessing those with the more vivid imaginations won't like this but it seems to echo a lot of the thoughts that have been mentioned this summer.
Who said he was? It was speculation and when teams were asked they said they had not such conversations. So, you can believe based on bs here and some insider legit speculation or be hesitant. The fact you state absolutely nothing as fact is the problem. Nobody knows what has happened. We heard he was on the block the same day someone else said they were discussing an extension. The fact he's still here says something too, and this garbage nobody wants him either lol.
If the plan is to let him walk, then they have to trade him before the deadline. It's fine to sit here in July and think that's feasible, but the clamour with the fan base and media frenzy will make it untenable if say we're here in Feb with no extension. We aren't doing a Sundin here imo, yes cap space is value but you're not going into the playoffs with this guy set to walk and you have no return. Something gives before the tdl.
If he's still here by the deadline without an extension, unless the team is out of a playoff spot, it's hard to see him willing to leave his teammates at that point.
How could he know what Guentzel would have gone for on the open market? He extended in Tampa. Did the clock tick past free agency before the ink dried on the contract, and that made him technically an open market signing?
Tavares, Panarin and Gaudreau say Hi.
He's not even worth his current cap hit. $12-$13m would be complete lunacy.
The question is, do we think Keefe held him back with his game plan, and that Berube can change his game to a more playoff type game?
So let's find out and if Berube is the answer, then sign him in June. If not, GTFO MOFO.
It's not just him, it's all of them. If Berube can't change the narrative what was the point of bringing him in?
100% but Leafs need to grow a spine. If they are intent to resign him, make him a take it or leave it offer of $11.516m. He will be roasted if he takes Tre to the woodshed like he did Dufas.
Someone posted stats on leafs players shots from the net reg season vs playoffs. I remember matthews was similar distance when he took a shot reg season or playoffs. Marner on avg his muffin shots were 30 feet from the net. His avg distance come playoff time was 40 feet. This really solidifies how petrified he is of contact in the playoffs. Taking 40 feet muffin shots in the post season doesn’t work.
then he should not be on this team
Lol what?
