Player Discussion Mitch Marner Part Infinity

[Leaf Fans]

He pretty much won’t be caught dead in front of the net or even in the slot, which is why he goal scoring drops off a cliff in the playoffs.

Still provides value elsewhere. Question is, do you pay a guy who clearly is not a game breaker in the playoffs 13M a year.

If I were a GM, I wouldn't pay any one a number made up in the media. I would enter in to negotiations and go from there.

He just gives up.

No I don't think this is true

 

[Mr_Fun]

No I don't think this is true

One could make the argument that he makes some bad decisions at times when he gets frustrated, or tries to do too much, but he certainly doesn't give up, or worse -- check out of a series.

Marner had a great game. He's was great on PK

 

[The Shadow]

There still remains the possibility of game 7 and the subsequent round.

You were right

I lost all faith in them after game 5. You didn’t kudos to you

 

[Hellcat]

Outside of the entire Panthers team getting food poisoning an hour before the game, it's not a likely scenario. The Champs have showed up and decided that they are going to round 3. Since period 2 of game 3 the Panthers have decidedly taken over the series.... there is a better chance I win the lottery tonight vs Leafs winning in Sunrise.

... (running to check my lottery tickets) ...

50% on here? Man, read the thread we're posting in. There's less than 10 people who still defend this guy, (and I'm counting you to get there), the rest is a dogpile. Outside you've got kids and the occasional person who like him, but I'm counting them to get to 10%.

Your numbers were optimistic on the day you made your account, but they ain't even close any more. This is one of those wacky posts where you're trying to tell me to disbelieve my lyin' eyes. I've been around here long enough to know who's who in the zoo, and boy let me tell you that the animals are restless.

There are a lot of posters who simply dont want to get drawn into the stupidity of judging a player for 1 to 3 games a year... there are still quite a few people , i think 70% is a fair assessment, that want Mitch to stay.

It was his play at the Panthers blueline that kept the Leafs season alive. Granted Mattys goal was super lucky, you simply don't beat Bob down low. Without Mitch standing up at the blueline and that beauty of a pass, it's a different game.

 

[Lightsol]

Ill be the first one to admit that he was spectacular defensively today, but he needs to STOP shooting it from the blueline at the PP, it will never work against the Panthers.

Not on the PP, but he does have two from there in the series; one he scored himself, and one that resulted in a rebound Knies banged in. What they really need now is for either Matthews or Nylander to start ripping shots at the net, so the Panthers can't sell out for the point shot (which is what they've been doing since Game 3).

All depends on the price, right. The higher it goes the less want him to stay

Bro this post is wild lol. 1-3 games a year, talk about burying the lede… then quite a few = 70%

Not to mention declaring that opinions of people you disagree with as “stupidity”.

I love the notion that all the people who don’t post in this thread must want him to stay.

Numbers are fun when we make them all up, but I’m not going to disbelieve my lyin’ eyes to agree with you.

That play was a lot like this Bennett goal at 4 Nations. Small area play to facilitate someone else to make an impact on a turnover. Impactful little game changing touch but not game controlling stuff that makes a difference.

I believe it did make a difference

 

[ruaware41]

Mitch Marner has had multiple huge games against the hurricanes. If we make it there, watch out.

He may be impactful against them. Agreed.

 

[Punch Drunk Loov]

Score tomorrow or bait Ekblad into another penalty and we're back

It was a good play but the goal was an individual effort by Matthews

Or just actually get your special teams working I mean come onnnn, they are ridiculous.

Not at all, if Matty intercepted the puck and scored it would have been an individual effort.

You only have to look at the poll that was on here a few months back less than 30% of the voters wanted Mitch to go.... yes to criticize an elite two way forward 100 point player for not being a goal scorer or a banger and crasher is stupid... most people dont want to be drawn into a debate with people who lack common sense.

Like I said it was a great play by marner but that goal was all Matthews the grade a chance Knies had was on marner

‘Great”? What was great about it? Yeah the pass lead to a game winning goal but what was great about it? I’ve rewatched it a few times just normal happenstance.

Really Is every pass now considered great?

I mean if Pontus Holmberg made the pass, it would be a miracle. It’s really odd the lengths people go to make a simple play seem amazing, especially from an “elite” player

You only need to go back 10 pages to find 90% of people wanted him gone. The rest of your post is deliberately disingenuous enough that I won’t bother. There’s 50 pages and 15 other versions of this thread that we both know the arguments of.

That you’ve insulted me twice in two posts doesn’t go unnoticed, by me or anyone you’re trying to convince.

Marner is welcome to prove us wrong, because I know that insults on the internet sure won’t. Enjoy the long weekend bro.

What’s the point of saving 500k a year on a superstar player? Not sure why you wouldn’t want him signed, we aren’t making up the difference with any of the free agents on the market.

Knies is an RFA and management should be able to keep it reasonable enough to allow a Marner at 12.5 or 13.
