Mitch Marner (Trade or Keep)?

[PromisedLand]

Should we Trade or Keep Marner?

EDIT: His NMC kicks in July 1st, 2023

Scenarios:
- We keep Marner then:
A) he either walks as UFA in 2 years
B) he wants anywhere from 12 to 14 AAV for 8 years (currently at approx. 11 AAV for 6 years)

Given his play in the playoffs especially in elimination games he just doesn't have the next gear and even worse he makes the worse plays possible by giving away pucks and not fighting for the pucks. If there is no free ice mitch marner is not useful.
Do we really want to commit to that kind of AAV to this kind of player?

OR

- trade Marner get what we can for him and move on. retool/rebuild.

I think it’s time to trade Marner. The pressure of playing in Toronto is too much for him.

 

[Phion Keneuf]

Adios bitch Mitch.

 

[leafsfan5]

He's great in the regular season but struggles too heavily come playoff time. I can see him doing well somewhere else, but he's had ample opportunity in Toronto and it hasn't worked

 

[A1LeafNation]

If the offer is good enough...trade.

 

[supermann_98]

Trade this chump. I'd see if Anaheim would consider dealing that #2 pick for a Marner package. Maybe a pipe dream but Fantilli would be a welcome change

 

[The Best Leafs Everr]

I think the only player thay needs to go is Tavares with his albatros contract and we can work things out. These guys are young, more productive and still developing. Tavares looks like a plug for 11mil he can't even throw a solid hit.

 

[Shooter2x]

Trade but with conditions.

It has to be for another star younger than Marner. I'm not into swapping stars into multiple lower tiered guys.

You can take a loss on points for someone who you predict will mesh better with Matthews in the playoffs.

 

[Stephen]

I don’t want the Toronto Maple Leafs cup pursuit story tied to Marner’s personal maturity story anymore.

 

[JKG33]

The best time to trade him was when Columbus was allegedly interested a few years ago.

The second best time is now. Time for a culture shift. Goodbye Mitch, like Dubas you won't be missed

 

[Buds17]

This would be another trade that I'd hesitate to endorse. The points were still there even though we'd like to see more of them occur during the team's greatest time of need.

 

[tmlms13]

Don't trade just for the sake trading him. Only if the right deal comes along.

But this off-season does have the

Tony Fernandez Fred McGriff for Joe Carter and Roberto Alomar in 1990

DeMar DeRozan for Kawhi Leonard in 2018

Vibe to it.

 

[Eternal Leaf]

One of Marner or Tavares has to go.

Tavares isn't going anywhere

 

[Gabriel426]

I really wanted MM to turn around but it is not that he wasn’t producing but he was just losing the pucks more than I had ever seen the past 5 games. It is really a mental thing for him.

I can't imagine anyone wanting that contract.

Does he have a no trade?

Yesssss

 

[Metroid]

Depends what we get .
I'm indifferent who we keep at this point....
Whatever gets us the most/best shit.

He was our worst player.

Your 11M winger. Was your worst.
Worse than min wage guys.

He makes more than Mcdavid/Marchand/Pasta/Drai/TKachuk.

Let that sink in. Ship him away ASAP

 

[Antropovsky]

Yep.... Can't wait to not have Matthews and Marner shoved down our throats as if they are the Sedin twins.

 

[Trapper]

Trade.

 

[HellasLEAF]

Trade this player. There is no way the Leafs can sign off on that raise he will be looking for. Let another team make that mistake.

The second he signed that contract he was traded for me. Never understood it. Still don't. And none of this is really that surprising at this point.

..... He also makes top 4 or maybe higher for endorsements because he's a leaf. To think he's constantly complaining about social media fans and the media calling him out for trash play? Talk about entitlement! Later Marner. You should have signed for 8 and demanded a nmc sooner - Dubas I'm sure would have done it!

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

I'd like to see Mitch under a new head coach. That doesn't mean you close the door on a trade, Dubas (or whoever the GM is) just has to be methodical about it, take his time and if it takes until the TDL next year for a good trade then you wait.

We've seen him with a coach that kicked his ass, and we've seen him with a coach that coddled him like the spoiled child he is.

What else is there to see?
