Player Discussion Mitch Marner - On Hiatus

[TheDoldrums]

The sweetener will hurt if it comes to this. How many high draft picks can the Leafs give away?

the leafs are not going to have to give away a high draft pick to trade mitch marner, so I wouldn't worry about it. You're replying to a fool. It was already reported multiple teams had interest in Marner.

 

[BrannigansLaw]

You don't think they've tried different approaches?

Clearly Marner hasn't. He does the same stuff that screws us over in the playoffs year after year. Not saying the rest are much better but Matthews and Nylander's games' have definitely matured. Mitch still plays like a little kid in junior.

 

[Trapper]

He's one hell of a politician. It was a yes no question. Stupid me would have answered "No" but then again I would never have doubled and tripled down on them.

Even being a politician, this time there was no way to say yes.

'They' isn't an individual. it refers to the Team.

ha ha the look of confusion.............

If we keep the core together, they might be able to chip away slowly and eventually breakthrough all that crap to glory...might even leave us with a Cup poster to hang on the wall...

Marner’s been treading water for the last couple of seasons, definitely not getting any better, but he’s not alone, Rielly’s in the same boat, JT gets a hall past since he was on the decline when we signed him……..

In…..your…..dreams…..

He isn't a smart one. If you are just figuring out that you need to look into what is going wrong in 2024 I jave news for you. The MTL series showed and told all. All of the series told the same story actually. Every single one of them.

[notDatsyuk]

Was he injured? He played all 82 and then had a pre existing condition flare up. Seriously. Seems like mismanagement. Lets not pretend like alot of us weren't mystified that he missed 3 whole games.

Mystified when he missed three games without an explanation, yes. Once we had the explanation, it made perfect sense.

Suggesting that it is less debilitating than an 'injury', or calling it a 'pre-existing condition' or imagining that it was 'mismanagement' all indicate that you have never had a severe migraine.

I would not wish one on my worst enemy.

Believing nothing is no more a sign of intelligence than believing everything. They are both just ways to avoid thinking.

I wanted to make a joke but I think i'll get in trouble

 

[Sypher04]

JT gets a hall past since he was on the decline when we signed him……..

Uh, no he wasn’t. That said we always knew the last couple years had potential to look like this

 

[Superstar]

I don’t think Marner is a tradable asset. No GM is going to want him. Most likely scenario is that Toronto will have to add a sweetener to move his contract. Likely have to retain around $4 million on top of that.

? He'd owed less than $1 million in real money after July 1st...he's mighty attractive to a team pushing to make the playoffs.

 

[57 Years No Cup]

The Frederic goal in Game 3.
The Lindholm goal in Game 7.

Backbreakers, that just can't go in.

If our 47 million dollar core of elite goal scorers could get more than one goal it wouldn't matter. Instead you blame it on a 3 million dollar goalie who allowed ONE GOAL in regulation time in game 7.

Your schtick is a failure.

They tried to add leadership and toughness

I mean you could argue we will do anything to win! Unless it concerns D or goalie.

I struggle with that, I certainly don’t mean any disrespect though. I don’t know how many times my daughter says “they will pick me up” and I say “thought it was just the two of you, who else is going?”

You need to educate your children on the proper grammatical uses of singular and plural pronouns. Are you afraid to do that?

 

[Confucius]

There are plenty of posts to get rid of him as well. lol! Is he all knowing and great again?

The sweetener will hurt if it comes to this. How many high draft picks can the Leafs give away?

I think we dumped them all but 1, then again we have about 6 weeks to give that 1 away

Relying on your goalie to basically save everything is not a sustainable way to build a team. 12 goals in 7 games is pathetic

that’s what I mean the whole team didn’t show up. We didn’t have a man with the right plan. We got rid of him maybe things will lookup but maybe the next coach will come up short as well.

 

[Confucius]

Or a team that has no real money to spend and has to reach the cap floor. No way Mitch agrees to go to that team. lol!

Well since it took him 5 years to figure that out, I don’t think he ever was.

Do those exist now?

 

[Confucius]

Do those exist now?

I’m pretty sure there are always a couple that would love to be saving 10 million

Edit to add:
Dang you are correct every team well above the floor. I’m surprised

 

[Kazparov]

Or looking for ticket sales by having an exciting regular season

 

[HamiltonNHL]

We may be a worse team without Marner.
I accept that.
I will not accept running the core back.
Marner needs to be traded.
He himself should not want to be back. It will be a shit show.
I'll lose all respect for the guy if he blocks trades.
Another year of his sulking and glove throwing isn't tolerable.
His value is low now. Tre isn't signing the guy.
