Player Discussion Mitch Marner Part Infinity

[Gabriel426]

In the minority here but I hope we re-sign him.

Why

 

[BraveCanadian]

The people clamouring for him to be gone are gonna be the first ones complaining about the absolute garbage contracts we sign this off-season. I hope a lot of people are ready to see what this team is going to look like next year. I hope they can find the right depth adds but man, it’s probably time for a full on retool.

Let Marner walk, let Tavares walk and pray to God McDavid will go to UFA in 2026. I would not spend to the cap in 2025. The UFA’s available aren’t worth it.

Maybe Ekblad if you can get him. But then I’d look to move on from Rielly.

It's very possible this team will be better even though they may get less talented.

There is a malaise on this team where they are completely unable to rise to any challenge or adversity and they would be better off with some grinders who step up their game than the current group that just wilts every time.

 

[KAWAIlllI]

Bye Mitch, enjoy winning elsewhere.

Ahaha this guy…

 

[joepeps]

Why

the fact he didn't sign last year.... doesn't say the right things, doesn't want to be here and then turns down a trade that would get us a top star and playoff performer just to stick it to the fans....

its makes me sick.

 

[thewave]

Bye passenger.

Who does not play aggressive.

Who plays high.

Who loses the puck easily and cost goal 1.

Bye bye Mitch

 

[colchar]

Did they really say that after their playoff performances ?

Matthews did.

 

[KAWAIlllI]

Paul will still cheer on his son and the Leafs, I doubt he'll bother defending him though.

There’ll be some backhanded jabs directed at Nylander instead, encouraged by Brave Canadian

It’s very possible, I just hope they pick the right guys. It’s pretty clear it’s time to move on from the core. 9 years of not getting it done, no matter how much you like a player, you kind of just have to accept the proof is in the pudding.

I’m just looking at the UFA pool and I’m not seeing a ton of good value. I feel like the leafs need to save their cash, sell off pieces for draft picks, reacquire a 2026 first rounder and look to 2026 UFA which is a better class and build from there.

 

[NorthBayBattleOnion]

A guy like Barkov may not be a PPG guy like Mitch, but he’s worth 3 Marners…

 

[francis246]

Goaltending…is the major issue. Woll is the reason they lost the series.

I do think Rantanen would have helped.

Possibly, it’s hard to know for sure. Especially with Matthews being injured. How effective would Rantanen be beside him? There too many variables to know for certain.

I just think there’s too much wrong with this team and one player may not have been the fix.

 

[Nineteen67]

Good chance he'll be just fine after a 100 point season where he was the Leafs best all around player and a PPG post season where he was the Leafs best all around player.

He and the Leafs need to part ways because its obvious at this point the culture of this team is broken beyond repair so all they can do is tear it down to the studs and start over. But I wouldn't be surprised at all to see him be successful elsewhere ala the 4 Nations.

He’ll need some very good players around him.

 

[KAWAIlllI]

For sure isn't coming back. This era is over.

Look at this posters comment here, then look at his posts in the Nylander thread. It’s almost like he..has a agenda towards one of em.

 

[francis246]

Are you f**king high????

lol, lack of goal scoring was and has been the leafs issue

 

[BraveCanadian]

He’ll need some very good players around him.

He has his choice of destination.

 

[francis246]

He’ll need some very good players around him.

Marner will be fine if he leaves. Many of the options have good young players or there’s the option to play with Sid, if he doesn’t end up in Colorado.

If he leaves, good riddance anyways. The leafs need to figure out if this is the new Matthews or not. Cause if this is his new baseline we are f***ed

 

[thewave]

A guy like Barkov may not be a PPG guy like Mitch, but he’s worth 3 Marners…

Shut down Nylander. If only there was a coach who would have split MM and AM up and put WN on the top line.

 

[Punch Drunk Loov]

Alright that's enough he's outta here

 

[KAWAIlllI]

That's called projecting and it's about time you pedestrian posters figure it out. It's simply incredible. You're actually doing the comparison and accusing me of it lol.

Kindergarten level stuff. And you actually think you're owning me with this bahaha.

Simply calling you out. Dont take it so hard

 

[francis246]

Shut down Nylander. If only there was a coach who would have split MM and AM up and put WN on the top line.

Nylanders play today did not deserve to be on the top line. He was brutal tonight. If anything Domi probably deserved the most to be upgraded to line one.

 

[GQS]

In the minority here but I hope we re-sign him.

As a person and hometown guy I would like him back, but as a player after all these disappointing playoff performances, its hard but I would rather let him go even though it would suck to lose him for nothing. You can't even point to tonight's game and say they lost such a close game that it wouldn't be totally stupid to re-sign him and run it back.

They got blown the hell up YET AGAIN and Marner didn't contribute anything in yet another pivotal game. I just don't know how you can throw a big contract at him and bring him back long term and keep running it back with this same core group that has shown you time and again that they just don't have it. It would be INSANE to do so.

That's rich. Marner should have been benched. He was the passenger. 15.5m really? Lol

 

[Crazy Monkey]

Hated Babock. Complete asshole. But he smelled the Marner bullshit from a mile away, while the rest of us were in love with this turd.

Bye bye 16. You dug your own grave. You will be amazing on another team where you're not the go to guy

 

[wingman75]

Well, one of he or Matthews have to go. They cannot coexist. Matthews has a NMC... Marner has no contract.

I'd actually prefer Marner to stay over Matthews too. Marner is more durable and can play in more situations (just not in the playoffs, but neither can Matthews so whats the diff).

The whole contract situation here is f***ed up and it is going to cost the Leafs majorly.

 

[DarkKnight]

You're not actually, weak tea. I actually said in the Nylander thread Marner was a failure, made his bed and gone. You're checkers dude, and that's a fact jack. Anyways, it mob rule here so I'm sure someone else willl join in. Who f***ing care lol. Cheers.


Marner is gone, he had a chance to redeem himself. I thought the Four Nations might be a turning point, I was wrong. He simply can't do it here, probably anywhere. Move on, and not just him imo.

His legacy is deserved, these guys have had a million occasions to rewrite the script. It's over now.

 

[centipede2233]

The last 5 game 7’s here is how many goals the leafs have scored in each of them - 1,1,1,1,1….

Unfortunately we had a brain dead shanahan and dubas that tried to keep fitting a square peg into a round hole
