Player Discussion Mitch Marner Part Infinity

[58 Years No Cup]

Calgary would be interesting. Marner's 102 points represent almost half of Calgary's total offence last year, and they failed to make the playoffs.

Will he improve the 29th ranked offence, or will it become apparent he wasn't the driver here?

Will he improve the 19th ranked PP, or will it become apparent he wasn't the QB here?

Will he improve the 25th ranked PK, or will it become apparent he wasn't the Selke star here?

Calgary scored 220 goals , I guarantee you they won’t score 322 next year. Lol similarly our scoring won’t fall to 165

Yeah, that's not how it works at all.

Report: Leafs discussed 3-way deal at deadline to send Marner to Vegas

Report: Leafs discussed 3-way deal at deadline to send Marner to Vegas

The Maple Leafs, Vegas Golden Knights, and Carolina Hurricanes discussed a three-way trade before the 2025 deadline that would've sent Mitch Marner to Vegas and Mikko Rantanen to Toronto, league sources told The Athletic's James Mirtle.However, Vegas and Carolina were apparently unable to find...

Seems pretty extensive and complex of a deal.

There goes the thinking that it was just a random offer from the Canes that the Leafs entertained to try and pressure into signing an extension.....

Full incompetence on display. This is why Shanahan is gone. He rode the lemon into NMC territory telling the players they are not going anywhere and handcuffing Treliving.

Just an absolute shit show organization. No doubt Bell and Larry were all over that siding with Shanahan as well.

Clown franchise.

Looks like Toronto is not the only city hockey town with a few nutbars. Here's hoping Mitch can find a city that has none or doesn't know he exists.

Chloe Skinner, the wife of Edmonton Oilers goalie Stuart Skinner, revealed a serious downfall that comes with being in the spotlight so often. The mother of two made an appearance on the Breaking the Ice podcast, where she revealed that she has gotten death threats from certain individuals.

“We have a very passionate fan base, and the people here live and breathe for the Oilers,” Chloe said. “It’s a tale as old as time, where the goalie is the punching bag a bit. This year definitely got intense. There was times where security had to be involved. I specifically have DMs filled with death threats towards the kids, towards myself, from anonymous accounts [with] people hiding behind their screens.

What if, as reported by many, he simply just chose to hold off on negotiating until he saw how the season went? Quite clearly, he hasn't been happy here with the criticism and scrutiny and pressure and losing - what if he simply evaluated all of that, and decided to wait and see if things would be different for him, and the team, through the playoffs?

He's going to be hated here for the way the entire tenure played out, but I have zero issues with how he's handled the final year of his contract. Nor should anyone else. It was a contract year, and he chose to staple himself to the greatest scorer currently in the game, and try to ride that to a big payday.

How different would the conversation be, today, if Marner signed the $13.5m x 8 offer earlier in the year, and they still flamed out in the playoffs? He gets some credit, from me anyway, for being the only one throughout this entire process who stopped and thought "they this might not work out".

Who is this greatest goal scorer in the game
Are you talking about matthews who is an even bigger playoff choker than marner. You mean the six foot three two hundred and twenty five pound center who is the highest paid player in the league but can’t carry a team to the cup finals. That greatest goal scorer disappears in the playoffs too

 

[notbias]

Doubling down on Dubas massive overpayment contract for Marner is the worst possible thing Treliving can do. Marner's last contract should have been at $8-$8.5 mil and his new contract now should be in his current range at best.

Dubas put the Leafs into Cap Hell and its the #1 reason this core hasn't been successful because its sacrificed the teams depth..

Tre has a chance now to walk away from Marner and cut JT contract into 1/2 and Leafs playing with only 2 players making double digit AAV and an ever rising Cap ceiling to build a deep playoff contender.

Tre tried to give Marner more.... the guy you call a real GM wanted to give Marner more, and now you'll try to defend it.

You are my favourite poster because none of your posts follow logic.

That was never the theory, the theory was Marner was priority #1 for the Leafs, which was reported by Freidman.

I wouldn't blame a team for looking at option #2 when option #1 isn't available, it's only logical.

Looks like Tre was working pretty hard to move Marner at the tdl. He also tried last summer but both Vegas and Marner said no, lol. Poor guy.

Boy, Vegas really has lost the plot if they're not only after Marner but even preferred him to Rantanen.

If I were them I would've been all over Rantanen, and either cut Toronto out of the deal entirely or Toronto shouldve been the team receiving the alleged package with Marner going to Carolina.

Best I remember Ranta told Canes he'd only sign with Dallas and Leafs - so rental value otherwise.

Probably why we didn't have to add.

And the Leafs should have went all in on him. Not spend firsts for Laughton etc.

Too little too late for management, we should've been making this kind of move before Marner had the NMC

Now he walks for nothing, thanks Shanahan

A number of folks around here felt otherwise, feeling that it was a pressure tactic to force an extension. Others tried to argue the Leafs never offered Marner in any propsoal, and that likely it was only other teams like the Canes asking about him.

Which was fair enough to speculate. But we're getting more reporting from different sources with new info that paint a fuller picture of what went on over the last few months of the season

Let me fix this for you.

Thank you Larry Tannenbaum and Bell + Shanahan. Larry and Bell have no control anymore. Larry could have stepped in and forced the trade before the NMC. Rogers obviously wanted it.

Totally insane to the end:

Don't move Mitch when you could last year
Offer him a massive contract BEFORE the playoffs
Think Mitch would actually accept a trade

Wtf kind of logic is that? You go from "he's our guy and we are 100% committed to him" to throwing a hail mary that would never work.

I hope this wasn't Tre's doing and he wanted Marner gone all along.

It had to be Shanny Larry and Bell together.

Bennett has more goals in this playoff run (14) than Marner does in his playoff career (13).

Bennett deserves way more money than this pissbaby

He will get a nice raise but something that fits into the structure of Florida to stay. The Cap is rising and why try to bleed the team that has the formula down.

 

[Craig Button]

Man it’s hilarious to see all the babies posting here.

I can’t understand how people are so emotionally hurt by Marner.

You guys are more worst than preteens on social media having hissy fits about their favourite K-Pop boy bands

The only preteens with boy bands are Matthews and Marner

 

[Mess]

If the Leafs were walking away from a playoff warrior like Rantanen or Tkachuk etc we would all be screaming bloody murder at the loss of such a vital core player for nothing, built for playoff hockey.

As it stands now, watching one of the softest, easily intimidated, playoff pressure chokers walk, feels like an Addition by Subtraction situation. and the cap space opportunity to bring in some real playoff warriors an exciting new opportunity to change the DNA for the better.

Leafs have wasted a lot of years on this current failed experiment with so little return on investment come playoff time, that this should be an exciting time for change and new hope for Leaf Nation fans,

Lets just hope that BT stays strong and holds the line and then opens the wallet for the replacement players, making sound decisions, . .

Until it's official there are still going to be restless and sleepiness nights ahead. July 1st can't get here quick enough.

Did you not see how PATHETIC marner was against Bruins last year? If I am in treliving's shows as a new GM still evaluating the roster Marner is the first guy I want gone due to his cap hit, aura, negativity and effort on ice

 

[JKG33]

Lmao I missed the word posters.

Too excited from watching the Oilers get their shit filled in

Flames a Perfect Fit to Land Mitch Marner in Free Agency - The Hockey Writers Toronto Maple Leafs Latest News, Analysis & More

If Mitch Marner hits the free-agent market this offseason, the Calgary Flames could end up being the perfect landing spot.

thehockeywriters.com

marner back with Kadri

And it would be in free agency period when he is free and Leafs get nothing.
Flames put it to Treliving.

1. I live in Calgary. It sucks cock. Coming back soon.

2. Probably the last thing a millionaire would look at. Affordable/livable means great for the average Joe blow and surrounded with little upper class.

I bought into the appeal of Calgary and moved for a situation where I can grow significantly but am electing to come back. I’m curious to see this list in 2-3 years time. Pricing is crazy, Banff is becoming an overcrowded dump and Calgary city homeless/opioid infested.

I was at multiple of the Oilers playoff games, including game 1 SCF. If you want Alberta, that is the only option. In the west it’s ABC (anything but Calgary, and that’s even true in Calgary). All of Sask, most of Alberta and even a large part of BC cheer oil. Calgary will likely never be competitive. Awful owner, awful city, suburbs that mainly appeal to middle class and a very quiet overall place.

Saying all this, a guy with a loser mentality like Marner may actually love it lol.
