Player Discussion Mitch Marner

[All Mod Cons]

He has the same amount of goals as our beloved 69 goal scorer LOL. Yet Marner is the main issue. Give me a f***ing break man. There’s enough blame to go around. It ain’t just 1 guy. It’s all of them. You wanna hold this core accountable why aren’t we having media members rip into Matthews? He’s the best goal scorer in the league and can’t score. Marner shouldn’t be off the hook but the disparity in terms of blame is shocking



I’m fine to trade Marner for a defenseman but trading Marner alone isn’t going to solve anything if our top goal scorer can’t score in the playoffs. What I’m saying is people are acting like removing Mitch is going to be the quick fix. It will not be, the problems are deeper than just Marner.

No they are not. Not even in the slightest. You just made that up.

Every single person here has said the coaching, the goaltending, the defense, the toughness, Tavares, the special teams, the President, and most of the bottom 6 are shit.

Not a single person said removing Mitch will be a quick fix.

Except you.

Then why did he come back so soon

Maybe he isn’t as much of a p***y as people are making it seem and he can play through pain? Most players do?

This is a worse feeling than the Kessel/Phaneuf era. We knew those guys couldn't carry a team and tried to stubbornly force it. It didn't fool anyone.

This core should and does have cup level talent. There is nothing more gut wrenching than wasted potential. We had so much luck obtaining Mitch, Willy and Auston and proceeded to mangle most proceeding decisions.

It's beyond painful. I wish it weren't so.

There better be a considerable amount of turnover. Brodie, Marner, Jarncrok, and maybe even JT are the obvious ones.

 

[mogs]

Oh man. You guys deserve what's coming if they actually get rid of Marner.

It will fall in line with the same stupid brute force moves Lou and Dubas did with no actual real thought or in-sight to building a team properly.

What exactly will be be missing out on? First round exits every year?

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

Why would you guys want to get rid of Tkachuk?

FYI he has been on this train since draft day and is summarily mocked on the Sens board.

Also, Ottawa and Marner may be one of the worst possible fits. He'd be our 2nd most experienced player behind Giroux.... Marner needs to go somewhere that already knows how to win. Can those teams fit an $11m player without sending back a high priced player? Probably not

Hiring Dubas was the stupidest thing MLSE has ever done. Ever.

Such an unnecessary gamble.

Man I miss the days of Mitch not going into corners.

Those were the days

Paul Marner's Baby Boy hasn't once shown up for a playoff game in 8 years. When can we stop pretending he'll change that once he grows out of his forever-a-child phase?

Can he even grow a playoff beard? Is it physically even possible?

 

[Larcos_Unal]

Mitchy getting butchered & roasted across every platform and network, yikes

 

[All Mod Cons]

Wowzers. Pretty much hits the nail on the head.

The problems definitely run deeper, but Mitch is an $11 million problem, and that puts him into a different category.

All these guys remind of Boston when Kessel didn't fit the Boston mold so traded him. Then Seguin same thing. The story line is you play in Boston you buy into their game plan. The leafs don't have that kind profesionalism in their lockerroom and if they do it's far to late after turning the team over to a bunch of children .
Marner's sucky attitude all year and always deferring blame rather than owning up to responsibilty is pretty telling . Personally i think he's heading for a nervous breakdown . For his own good he need to move on.

I never did, but i'm starting to think there is something to how Boston builds their roster. As you said, they have had guys who were stars or had star talent, even younger ones or guys in their prime, and they moved on if the 'fit' wasn't what they wanted. I don't get the impression they favor or go out of their way to make their stars comfortable at all costs.....from the outside seems the exact opposite of what the Leafs do.

 

[Peasy]

I honestly cant see how he would want to stick around. The floodgates are about to open, and it will be open season on Mitch Marner all summer long.

 

[usernamezrhardtodo]

If you try a drinking game when you take a shot every time he is on his ass, you will probably die.

He is about as bad as David Clarkson was....it's almost comical.

Anywhere +3M retained.

I think he could be a super useful piece somewhere but not here.

He needs a 1C who can drive the play and Marner can be the soft rebound guy.

We don't have a C that can drive the play. Matthews can't carry the puck until it's well established in the zone. JT is too slow.

 

[Punch Drunk Loov]

There are a lot of national attractions and parks in Utah. A team with too many picks and no stars and we have too many stars and no picks

 

[Not My Tempo]

Mitch needs to go, but I also can't help but feel the dude is being crucified alone in the media.

Across 3 games we have 1 goal total between the bottom 6 and Dcore.

Our PP is 1 for 14 or whatever. Our PK is at 50%!

Sammy is chalked.

The entire organization should be put on blast.

 

[Canadian Finn]

well, for all the fans who claim the reason mitchy is shit is because the fanbase is mean - i HOPE they are right.

cause IF that is true, the Fanbase can make change.

make the baby waive his clause.

it's Shanahan that needs to own this and he should be canned.

But he was OPENLY not trying.
He was ASKING to be traded.
And he shows it when speaking to the media.

Failed rebuild.

For sure. He has been bad but this is no one persons grave. We need more from basically everyone.
