Marner is obsessed with himself...
You two could bond over your obsession with Marner...
Marner is obsessed with himself...
Seems like there was more interest in a potential Marner trade from the front office than just what happened last tdl
Lol... God on skates wasn't even worth Theodore to a real contender.
Theodore is a good, not great, hockey player. He's more comparable to Rielly than Hedman or Makar. He's not even the best defenseman on their team.
Marner for Theodore screams of Hall-Larsson 2.0.
But at least the Leafs would have gotten something back. Theodore is a lot better than the nothing they're getting now. Another master class in asset management Toronto Maple Leafs style.
The cap space is valuable assuming they spend it wisely on adequate replacements for the anointed one.
For some reason I'm skeptical they'll pull this off. They've botched virtually everything they've tried since drafting Matthews. There's always a first time for everything and I suppose this could be it.
I don't expect anything but continued buffoonery from a team that couldn't even get a 4D for the glorious revered one though.
Maybe he can swap it for a #29 from the remainder bin.Frankly it would be easier to see if you can return your 16 jersey for an 88 at Sportchek.
We are, hopefully he wont be here for us to bond over anymore in about a month.You two could bond over your obsession with Marner...
Marner is obsessed with himself... look at this door knob.. skating around after warmups in front of the crowd all by himself. Good on Marchand for not giving in to the drama queen.
Of course, Marner had to do the same thing and try to outwait Sidney Crosby to be the last one off the ice. But Crosby, being the stand-up guy he is, just let the little kid have his way. Can you imagine… actually thinking you deserve to go last over Sidney f&$*ing Crosby?
And notice how Marchand stopped by the door, turned to face Marner, and said a few words while Marner immaturely just kept skating.
Similarly, in the dressing room, Marner admitted he just sat there, waiting to see what would happen until Crosby finally came over and told him he’d let him go last.
… just a perfect reflection of who Marchand and Crosby are as leaders and more proof of why Marner comes across as a cowardly non-leader.
This is probably exactly how his brain operates during contract negotiations too…
Who has told us that?Ridiculous! We've been told that Tre's only priority this year was to sign Marner, who loves it here and refuses to go anywhere else, and the only reason he wasn't signed is ... well ... um ... reasons.![]()
Goalie hugs and mascots hugs are superstitions?That is quite a spin on the superstition.

The mitch marner show:
I can really see Vegas signing MM as it fits both of them.
Vegas gets a playmaker for Eichel. MM plays on a team where he is in the Beta or even Charlie role despite his contract amount.
Win win for both sides

The good thing is we don’t have to watch him. Hopefully he ends up out west, other than Vegas, and I only have to watch him once per year, two if it’s an early start time at his new home.It's going to be so strange seeing him wear #93 in some other colours.
If we were savvy enough for this that would be fantastic. Unfortunately we have zero creativityI want to re-sign him
Not because I want him on the team
Because I want to trade him
Marner is even more influential to the team's DNA than Nylander is and I think you know that.If it isn't about money for marner, then sign marner for nylander money, and trade nylander. We get a change in the DNA, and get value back we can use (probabaly the highest for nylander right now).
Is there a difference between killer instinct and DNA? If so, what is it? Seems like just another generic quality to help explain to fans what the managers are working on this offseasonMarner is even more influential to the team's DNA than Nylander is and I think you know that.
Tongue in cheek, obviously, but notbias has said several times recently that Tre said it was his priority, and several posters go on and on about him loving the city and not wanting to leave (hence his refusal to waive for Rantanen).Who has told us that?
Or at least tell the fans what u offered him last july 1stI would run him down in the media for all the bad faith negotiation and drama before saying we have zero intent on keeping Mitch here.
I wasn't quoting anyone. Just having a little fun at your frequently claiming someone had reported that.The reporter you are quoting also said Treliving's top priority was re-signing Marner.
So I guess it went re-signing Marner > trading him so he didn't walk > letting him walk
Can you quote one person who said his only priority was re-signing Marner?
Marner drew much of this hate to himIts wild how marner gets far far more hate than matthews when
A) he wasn't the highest paid player this past season unlike matthews (marner was 12th),
B) marner finished 5th in points while matthews wasn't even close to the top 10,
C) marner has finished with more points than matthews 5 of the 9 seasons they've played together and
D) they are both equally bad in the playoffs
Matthews needs to go before marner.
It's odd how there being something like 1.6 assists per goal means that there are more assists handed out than goals.Its wild how marner gets far far more hate than matthews when
A) he wasn't the highest paid player this past season unlike matthews (marner was 12th),
B) marner finished 5th in points while matthews wasn't even close to the top 10,

Matthews needs to go before marner.
it's poor asset management.
Asset management 101 - you don't lose a 28 yr old 100 pt player for nothing aside from cap space.
The situation the leafs find themselves in, is the disaster - we don't have options.
The Oilers would be in the same place as the Leafs with just the two big dollar stars but their top guys keep rolling in the post season. Taking the concept of player greed out, the Leafs have just not understood the economics of a cap world. I expect Colorado might want a do over on Ranta but they let him go at the risk of ending up with three mega salaries to screw with their cap disposition.Agreed, its hard for any NHL team to walk away from a 100 point player for nothing, and claiming its in the best interest of the team.
However in Toronto's case they have a valid argument because its gets weighed against player greed and contract demands that destroys any reasonable player comparable contracts, suggesting walking away the SMART choice,
When your contract demands place you ahead the TOP 5 Playoff goal and point scorers in the NHL past 5 years in McDavid, Draisaitl, Rantanen, Kucherov and MacKinnon.
We are so savvy we’d sign him to a full NMC and then try and trade him.If we were savvy enough for this that would be fantastic. Unfortunately we have zero creativity
