Player Discussion Mitch Marner Part Infinity

[58 Years No Cup]

Wouldn’t you agree the same applies to Matthew’s.
Marner is a passer Matthew’s is this elite generational goal scorer who disappears in the playoffs. You would think a player with all the accolades that Matthews has would at least be able to score in the playoffs.

We better hope Matthews is healthy next year because we won’t have that regular season marner to help us to the playoffs

"Regular season Marner" doesn't help us in he playoffs at all. That's the point.

6 ES goals in 70 games when the score is within 1, 1 total PP goal in his entire playoff career. Why would anyone bother covering him when they could just cover his passing lanes and make him worthless?

They pointed out today that Sam Reinhart scored more goals (4) in the Stanley Cup winning game, and Marner hasn't scored 4 goals in his last 20 playoff games over the last 2 years playoffs combined.

He had only 1 goal against Boston in 7 games in 2024, and 1 goal against Ottawa in 6 games and 1 goal against Florida in 7 games in 2025.

1 goal per series Mitch means he might hit 4 goals if the Leafs went all the way to the finals in a season.

How will the Leafs ever replace his missing offense with the mere $11 mil cap space recaptured?

And "generational goal scorer" Auston Matthews needed two years of playoffs to score 4 goals.

I can't speak for others but I am no more happy with Matthews than Marner.. the difference is one is under contract and going nowhere.. for better or worse.

 

[58 Years No Cup]

5th all time in Pts scored
4th all time in Assists

All while doing that in far less games than the ones above him on those lists.

I can't stand Mitch at this point. Everything about him pisses me off TBH. But at the end of the day he statistically has been one of the best regular season Maple Leafs of all time. You can't really deny that IMO.

He also has every right to do exactly what he is doing. I just have no time for his nonsense about always being for the team after what he's pulled during this "negotiation". He is full of shit.

Fixed it. He's a playoff dud.

 

[GoonieFace]

It’s going to hurt losing the stud that anchored them to the 17th best PK in the league.

Yeah, Rienhart tied an over 100 year old NHL record.

 

[ACC1224]

Why are some so concerned with what his next contract will be when it’ll be another teams issue?
Seems a little bunny boilerish.

If anything, it should make them happy.

It’ll be tough. 100 point all situation players don’t grow on trees.
The team shares your concern which is why they’re trying to bring him back.
If he does walk, hopefully they’re up to the task.

 

[Maple Leaf]

Marner is not the player the Leafs need but the player the Leafs deserve
Sign him up!

Leafs PK was 17th in the league. whoop whoop!

I hate Marner on the PK anyways, he is very overrated... he puts more effort into trying to cover his face then he does trying to block shots. See my avatar of him covering his face on a non shot!

 

[notDatsyuk]

Marner averages 27 goals per 82 games. What's the average goal scoring rate in the NHL?

Among right wingers who player 50 or more games last year and averaged over 18 minutes - 29.9 goals per 82 games.

So Marner is below average despite actually having the highest toi/game.

Ah, yes. Average goal scoring is 30 goals. That's why 900 players scored less than that this season.

 

[IronHookem]

Did those 900 players all average over 18 minutes a game and slot on the RW? Try reading things twice before you respond next time.

damn i didn't know marners comparables league wide include players like matt rempe and casey cizikas

maybe he should get 15M...total over an 8 year contract

your arguement is as dumb as the sentence above. You don't compare marner to random 900 players because he made more than them by tenfold

And on the 1st line RW at that.

You don’t even need to get into the numbers. Game 7 up 2-1 with 5 to go, we take a penalty. Are you confident or are you puckered?

tbf what team wouldn't be puckered in that situation

we could have a 100% penalty kill the entire playoffs up to that point and if we take that penalty i'm the size of a peanut

 

[hfman]

if the Blue Jackets' farm team were the highest bidder, then that's where Marner would sign

It’s absolutely about chasing the most money. It’s been about the money since the day he was drafted.
As far as it being about a chance to win, he would have had a chance to win if he had bothered to show up in games 5-7 during the playoffs.
He is not the only reason they have failed but he sure is a contributor to that
