Okay, what am I missing? Matthews and Nylander signed their new contracts while still having one year left on their previous contract, and it was a priority to get them signed last summer, Marner has one year remaining on his, but he has not yet been resigned, so why has it not been a priority to get him signed then?
We don't know that it isn't a priority or that the other two were a priority.
I suggest you dont bother with @ACC1224 .... He just attacks posters. Hes too far gone and obsessed with Marner. I recall reading one his posts in a different thread where he was being critical of Nylander for not hitting players. Yes really... a Marner obsessed fan, being critical of another player for NOT PLAYING PHYSICAL.
I think Dubas, and especially Shanahan, are responsible for that happening. They should have either fired Keefe or broke up the core. I think it’s on the players to show up and “be on time”, especially in the playoffs. With this core, that was a pattern we kept seeing not happen in the playoffs. So again, either fire the coach or break up the core, or do both.Agreed this core has not worked, this whole thread my only issue was the selective fingering and goal post moving to frame one player as the root cause of that failure. Personally I think the coach struggled to coach playoff hockey, I dont think the players were ready or prepared to play playoff hockey, that is on the coach. Each one of the core 4 did not consistently play nearly to the level that they needed to play to, that is on them. The complimentary players at the bottom of the lineup made mistakes that sometimes cost us games. IMO it was the make up of the team from AM all the way down to the bottom player Reaves. The GM was way to focused on one type of player one type of style. I think as much as Vas, Bob and Swayman are elite goalies, we allowed the elite goalies to goalie us vs the goalie just being better. Did Mitch not play to his level of hockey in some series, absolutely. Did AM disappear in some series, yep, was JT a shadow of a former 1st over all pick, yep, did our goalie suck, sometimes yep, ... IMO it was just a cluster of obvious 20/20 hindsight failures that have led to 8 years of the same results.
The charity is a ruse.. that is why he did not allow any media into his fake charity golf tournament ... I wonder if his diet consists of carrots only...
Slow Mo of the Leafs Sports Nutritionist feeding Mitch his post game meal
Wasn’t that what Tre said was the top priority last summer?
Nylander signed 39 games into the last season of his contract. There is time for Marner. I just hope Tre learned something and grew a spine if the Leafs decide to run it back again. Now that takes balls.
No idea but I wouldn't put too much stock in what they say, for a priority it took a long time to get it done. I'm sure it was something they wanted to get done then, not announcing it now doesn't mean that it's not. They also tried to trade Nylander, so there is that.
Yes, that is true.
Oh yes, that’s right, Nylander resigned during the season. I forgot about that. Thanks

Do you think a center and winger have the same amount of reaponsibility on the ice?
The mindset of Marner fans:
Just nope... jee thats a short post. Usually you write alot. Any particular reason your so short on this specific question?
I’m hosting a deliverance re-enactment if you are interested. It’s like the Civil War ones but with more squealingTBH the standard that the Marner Lynch Mob has set is not very high.
(Great movie anyone know which one?)
Please clarify, are you referring to games 5,6,7 in the Stanley Cup finals? Or round 1? You are comparing them to Marner so... id assume it was series 1. Cant be too sure with you though.
All the idiocy is grouped together, hence the 'some'
Gimmick? They gave away 1 million after skills and 1 million to winning team. Mcdavid kept the million.
