Player Discussion Mitch Marner

[saffronleaf]

if leafs retain three million, he should be movable for some picks and prospects

 

[CelticDruid]

This is why players can’t give hometown discounts. From what a great team player to get rid of him . Lmao!

Reilly is nothing more than a shell of his former self.

Maybe next year will be different....................Lol


Again.....

Doubt leafs retain, will probably have to take on an expiring contract

 

[Antropovsky]

There was an ex-NHL'er on the radio yesterday saying that if there is only 1yr left on his deal and if management makes it clear they don't intend to offer him a contract...he said the player would move on without too much fuss. He said if you know you are not wanted on the team...you try and pick a city you might want to give a test drive for a 1yr before committing....very few guys would try and stick it out here in unwanted...especially if your going to have a new home in a year anyways.

Lets hope he is correct in his assumption.

Marner isn't your typical player. How many players relate to him? It's his hometown, it's his dad's dream and presumably his too - to play for the Leafs. He is a celebrity in Toronto, has a bunch of businesses and is among the tops in terms of cash for endorsement deals. I believe I read he has the most endorsement deals by number too. I'm sure he wants more than anything to have a statue on legends row.

I could see him refusing to waive with hopes he can change their minds or potentially hope for a change in management. Also, Leafs had a hell of a time getting Kaberle, Kubina, Tucker and Sundin to waive. Even Kadri refused to be moved but he had a limited NTC, so Leafs found a team he couldn't block.

Can’t disagree all I’m saying is don’t expect discounts because it’s a business. Anyway Mo has a nmc so I’m sure he is safe.

 

[Rielly4]

people are wayyy too critical of certain players. Is Rielly putting the team on his back like last year? No. Should he be able expected to carry a team? Not at all. Look at Vegas, they have Hanifin, Pietrangelo, Theodore. None of those guys are carrying the team with individual excellence they are just playing solid and doing their part and as a whole the defense is playing great.

Its a team game its not on any player to carry us through. We need a more well rounded team.

 

[Stephen]

Reilly is the least of the problems

Well there’s less variance between Rielly on his game vs the rest of the time. Vs the other Big 4 who are leagues worse when they’re off.

 

[Confucius]

Oops wrong thread

 

[ACC1224]

Flying tonight. If he was hurt he looks healthier now.

 

[diceman934]

Marner is playing with a high ankle sprain...he stays. Nylander had a headache and missed 3 games...good bye.

Rielly playing hurt and easily our best D man
Why are idiots picking on him.

And the first step to accomplishing that is to allocate the cap more efficiently.

Sometimes dreams come to an end and reality must be accepted.

He absolutely can refuse to waive, that’s his right. But as I’ve said a couple other times in other threads, I don’t believe Marner is mentally tough enough to weather the tidal wave of vitriol coming his way (fair or not) from fans and media alike. I do not believe, at the current time, that Marner is a player who can thrive in a playoff environment unless he is sufficiently insulated by his teammates. As it stands, he is one of the players most counted on to perform and he has failed to do it this series. He’s certainly not the only one, he’s just the next one in line to potentially ask for a raise that many people feel he doesn’t come close to deserving. At some point, enough is enough.

He’s not hurt, his skating is fine. Migraines are not headaches. Get a clue

Oh brother

 

[ORRFForever]

He's playing hard - giving credit where credit is due.

Domi / Bertuzzi NEEDED to store.

 

[QJo]

He's having the game he needs to be having, win or lose.

Except that blip on the boards in the closing minute or two where he waiting for the puck to come to him and got beat to the puck.

 

[BTP]

He's been great today. And amazing back check in the 3rd.

Nylander just signed an 8 year deal full of trade protections, you have about as much chance of him waiving as you do Marner

No chance

 

[stickty111]

Much better today

 

[ORRFForever]

Yes, he played hard.

 

[HellasLEAF]

He played awesome. Great game from Mitch.

 

[DarkKnight]

Awesome game Marner, played a big part.

 

[Punch Drunk Loov]

I loved that Marner - Domi - Bert line

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

Great game Mitch

 

[DarkKnight]

Sportsnet post game "I thought Marner was the best player on both teams". Not an outrageous assessment.
