Player Discussion Mitch Marner Part Infinity

There'll be many teams throwing the Brinks truck at him. Whoever wins that sweepstakes will not win a Cup for the duration of the deal.
He will get paid but I do not think somebody is throwing the Brinks truck at him. As long as a team has a true alpha dog leading and a pack following, Marner can win a Cup but he will never win a cup as one of the alphas. See Phil Kessel.

Cap going up exponentially, 100 point winger, runs the PP & PK units. Shoe in Olympian, 4 Nations, etc.
He's getting a massive deal.

We will see. Johnny Hockey (RIP) turned down more money from Calgary and then took less than Marner in Columbus. He needs to find a dumb, maybe desperate GM who works for a team with deep pockets or it will be tough to get more than what the Leafs were rumored to be willing to pay him. Hell, he may take less just to get out of Toronto.

Runs the PP? Runs the PK? Last I checked he plays on the PK and PP...but Runs them? Lol.

4 nations -12 million dollar suppostedly, and he goes from 1st line to 4th line and least played forward after 2 games? That is pretty concerning.

This works if he goes to a State with no tax. $12m in Dallas/Florida is $15/16m in Toronto

PTSD from having taken a puck to the face and needing dental work? I'd be more worried if he was holding up his diaper.
In the playoffs - Do you want this guy on your PK or in the final minute when the opposing team pulls the goalie? He's terrified of being hit by the puck. He gets tall, skinny and covers his face when the puck is just passed to the point.

Oh yeah he ran the PP like a PK yesterday.

Shot block turnover, shot block turnover, shot block turnover.
 
In the end, I really liked our physicality and our compete out there,” Berube said. “I thought most guys were engaged. They were going good.”

Key... "most guys"

I think its interesting to hear what the new guy Carlo said. Obviously Carlo came from the Bruins, a great team over the past 10 years.:
"We need to try and get the puck behind them a little bit more and create a little bit more tension in their zone, and just throw some junk at the net,” Brandon Carlo, the Leafs defenceman, said after Game 4."

Get pucks behind them? Not a Marner trait. Marner tries to drop pass or force passes rather that dumping and going after them. Marner tries to pass pucks in net...certainly doesnt try to score garbage goals. That is unless its him slinging shots from the perimeter while his teammates battle in corners and front of the net.

Imagine how many Marner jerseys Mamoth fans will buy? They might allow him to wear Dougie's number 93.

Mitch deciding to go elsewhere this off-season might allow for a reset that the team clearly needs right now. His negotiating hand has been compromised in these playoffs. You also wonder, if they crash and burn in this series, whether Matthews might decide that he'd prefer to waive his no movement clause to get a fresh start. A lot riding on the next 2 - 3 games.
 
Mitch is being badly affected by playing with Matty right now .. time to make some lines changes Berube .. maybe wait to start 2nd period though .. Matty might have some juice with extra days rest between games .. so try game 5 for 1 period to assess .. then move Mitch with JT and Domi with Willy .. Mitch needs a finisher and Willy needs to play with some more speed .. Matty can stay with Knies (as Knies is creating on his own anywho) .. keep 4th line going strong up against Cats best like game 2

Not just the players, Shanny's future is riding on the next few days.

He probably wants $13 mil or more, he should be able to create offence on his own, not always rely on other players.

No thanks to a 10mil + player who can't create his own offence.

No thanks. Why can Knies create without Matthews but Marner cannot?

No idea why they haven't split them before now. Matthews is finishing nothing. The guy could easily have 10 goals in the playoffs right now. I know they keep crossing their fingers and hoping Matthews will get going but.. yikes..

Are you sure Matty isn't being affected by Mitch? Mitch lack of physicality has it all put on Matty and Knies. That extra load is going to tire them out which could be what happened last game.

Marner could have literally 0 goals the last two games because 0 shots on goal.

Why is Marner so low IQ about this? Can he not see Matthews inability to finish and adjust? We've literally seen it when Matthews was out this season.
