Player Discussion Mitch Marner Part Infinity

[facelessjoe1990]

Is there any chance of a sign and trade with Mitch?

 

[TheGreatOne11]

McDavid 2026 LFG!!!!

Let this coward walk.

Who cares that he's a 100 point player, he does nothing in the playoffs. It's disgusting.

He won't sign without a no trade clause so it's pointless really.

I have never been called a snowflake in my life. You’re the first person I’ve honestly seen use it. I don’t doubt it’s probably been used, but I usually stick to my same rotation 2 or 3 threads and I don’t think I’ve seen anyone in the Marner thread use it before unless I’ve missed that.

I've seen it used many times. Hard to believe you've never seen it but if you say so.

I’m at least 20-30 years younger than you, grew up in Scarborough, probably a completely different cultural background from you. I have honestly never heard anyone in my life / inner circle use that term.

I believe it's a relatively new term so you being younger has nothing to do with it. Same goes for your inner circle - I've only seen it online myself.

I also can’t imagine anyone saying that in and the person they are saying that to, not just laughing, cause what kind of insult is that?

Like I said, I've only seen it online. But back to where we began, you mentioned that Marner is friends with Kadri, IMHO that's irrelevant to "who gives a flying f***" was a perfectly appropriate response. Then you said something about me being "sensitive" which is pretty much the same as calling someone a snowflake so if you think that's insulting, that's on you.

Carolina ain't gonna overpay him.

I didn't say they would. He's not going to get what he thinks he's worth.
If the Leafs say pound salt Mitch and Carolina offers a reasonable amount, who knows what he would do.

I would say Carolina at most will offer him $12 million, but Marner won't take that...if rumours are true, it's crazy Marner didn't take the Leafs' offer of $13.5 x 8. The guy really thinks he's much better than he is.

He probably wouldn't agree to it.

I agree. That's why I call Marners agent today and tell him The Toronto Maple Leafs have NO INTENTION in offering him a contract EVER!

If that's true than it's tough to say what's more stupid, that the offer was made or that it wasn't accepted. But if he really said no to that than holy smokes, his ego's even bigger than I would have thought possible.

Hockey players are the softest athletes when it comes to any sort of pressure from
Media or fans. They would rather play in shit markets with no fans than huge markets with any kind of pressure. Our core guys would cry if they ever had to play a single game of soccer in Europe.

13 500 000.00 USD = 18 832 513.50 CAD wrap your head around that.

 

[BallardEra]

That first game back for Mitch with his new team watching his video tribute will look and feel pretty awkward for him.

Not Nylander.

why would the Leafs even do that?

 

[Gary Nylund]

Indeedy. Pretty awkward doesn't even begin to cover it. Maybe Marner comes down with a cold that day and is unable to play. Or maybe he insists on a clause in his contract that says he doesn't have to play in Toronto.

 

[Superstar]

13 500 000.00 USD = 18 832 513.50 CAD wrap your head around that.

Add to that the extra couple millions in endorsements because he's a Leaf. Marner is totally delusional and completely lacks self-awareness.

Maybe he'll do another 360 backhand pass just for giggles...

Explaining to you seems like a waste of time but I did answer. I've repeated my answer several times, hard to believe you keep missing it. Here it is again, underlined and bolded so you can't possibly miss it again:

There are so many things wrong with your line of thinking here, I wouldn't even know where to begin.
If you think Marner is as valuable as Rantanen, all I can say is as the old saying goes - ignorance is bliss.

Im nothing thinking it, it's real life.

Sources: Hurricanes asked for Maple Leafs' Marner in Rantanen deal

Post-deadline, there are always stories seeping out … some things that don’t happen, some that did. One that continues to evolve is what happened before Mikko Rantanen was traded from Carolina to Dallas.

The first time I saw Mitch Marner play live was May of 2014, right after his 17th birthday. It was a playoff game between the Knights and my hometown Guelph Storm, and although the knights lost that series, 93 on London played a smart, creative, care-free brand of hockey couldn’t take my eyes off of.

The next year, I followed his progression closely, and watched him put up 2 points per game in the OHL - when the Leafs started tanking, I had my eyes all over him as an incredible consolation prize, if we couldn’t land McDavid

When we drafted him, I was ecstatic - I saw an unbelievably skilled player, and a hometown kid, who I knew the city would fall in love with the same way I had throughout his junior career. And boy, for those first three seasons, it was a sight to behold. Not only did he quickly become one of the best young superstars in the league, he showed a passion and a big-game prowess (especially vs Boston in 2018) that endeared himself to the fan base the way we haven’t seen in a long time. A local kid, repping his hometown team, showing up on the biggest stage.

I won’t get into the contract, or the negotiation, but it can’t be understated how big of an inflection point that was. It fundamentally changed him as a player. Early in his pro career (as well as in junior), I was convinced his combination of determination, competitiveness, and poise suggested he would thrive in big games. As his perception shifted in the city, you could just see how it wore on him. On and off the ice, the once care-free approach that embraced the spotlight transformed into a guy who got more frustrated, more helpless, more afraid, the bigger the stage. It felt like the swagger I saw from that 17 year old kid in London just evaporated before my eyes - and every spring since, it’s been the same story.

Until last night, there was always a possibility that things would change, that one big game or one big moment could rewrite the script altogether. After yet another Game 7 loss, and Marner almost certainly signing elsewhere, that possibility has gone up in smoke.
I have no interest in eviscerating him right now, or laying all the blame for yet another playoff exit at his feet. But I do want to acknowledge just how devastating it is that this chapter played out the way it did. All the pieces were in place for this guy to be a timeless legend in the city, that we would tell our grandparents about someday. Instead, he’ll be remembered as the guy who demanded every penny from a cap-strapped team, and proceeded to disappear in big moments. I couldn’t have possibly imagined things going like this on draft day in 2015. And I doubt he could either.

At the end of the day, he’s a new father, seems like a genuinely good person, and I’m sure he’ll have a ton of success elsewhere. But what a shame that things worked out like this. Mitch, I loved you dude. Maybe there’s an alternate reality where you led this team to a cup. But damn, I’m just so sad that this is where we ended up. What could have been…

Has anyone checked in on Dreger?

What's he saying? Hot offers coming in for Marner ahead of UFA status?

You've never heard 'snowflake'??? Where the f**k have you been for the last five (or more) years? It is a very common term.

 

[colchar]

Is anyone else hoping that Bitch Marner doesn't get offered the amount he wants and is left hanging for a while, then has to accept a deal at a lower salary than he is currently getting? I want reality to kick him in the teeth.

You seem to think this proves that Marner is as valuable as Rantanten, but it doesn't. That's all there is to it really.

 

[Gary Nylund]

My thoughts exactly. In this place alone I see it on almost a daily basis which is why it's very hard to believe that he's never seen this before.
