Player Discussion Mitch Marner

[-DeMo-]

Should have done it last offseason when his value was higher

how would his value be higher last summer? when a new team could have a new 7-8 year deal attached to him as part of the deal when last summer it would have only been 2 years.

 

[Joeffice]

Tim Stützle or Mitch Marner?

 

[Gary Nylund]

Dubas needed a pair for himself.

Should have tried to find a better pair instead of settling. Though perhaps they'll turn out to be "legendary" and the joke's on us.

 

[KPower]

$13 million X 8 years?

 

[JKG33]

Mitch the bitch. It fits too well

 

[Martin Skoula]

Paul would have a hissy fit.

At least someone in the Marner family would be capable of showing some anger then. I thought the sulking crybaby act might have been genetic but I guess not.

Give me Nylander bring unaffected completely by tough times or Matthews cross checking Dahlin when it’s not going for him, any response is better than crying in the box and shrugging your shoulders in the press conference.

Tim Stützle or Mitch Marner?

Marner 100 times out of 100. Mitch has his faults, but flopping around like a fish ain't one of them.

I think people misconstrue why so many are okay with him moving on... for me, mainly it is about the team cap structure. Sure, his attitude comes off as obnoxious or whatever, but I don't think he is that way, and I do think he cares probably more than anyone in that room, too much sometimes to the point that he cripples himself.

I think it has been proven that 4 top heavy forwards do not get it done, so one has to go. Won't be 34, won't be 91. I think Marner is probably better than Nylander, in fact I am sure of it, but you can only pay one of them imo as that cap money needs to feed the rest of the lineup (defence especially). I think the team gets more of a return for Marner. If, at the end of the day Nylander is the one that goes, I think the team is in a better position... Tre has himself a full blown dilemma!

something something point a game player

if it works for Johnny why not Mitch ?

if what works exactly

 

[Niagara Bill]

Hard to put down 99 points, obvious skills BUT it appears to my eye that he is the most alouf, unlikable guys to his team mates. Small in stature, often vulnerable because of his style of play, frequently targeted, rarely hit because of his skills, BUT, not once can I recall a fellow teammate coming to his aid, to his defence, to seek retribution, not once.

He hasn’t hit 100 points yet.

showing emotion is good unless it's bad

Finally, a Marner bitching thread. It’s been too long! My search is over!!!

 

[hotpaws]

being above any criticism

all i hear anytime someone says a bad word about him is "lol ppg , he's the least of our problems and easily worth his 11m contact"

so 'm thinking a ppg and easily outscoring our golden child should put him above any criticism as well

Tim Stützle or Mitch Marner?

Neither

Can’t blame Tree.
he had bigger fish to fry then a MMtrade.

bourne suggested breaking up the top 2 lines to make 3 more even lines.
let’s see which of the core forwards can drive a line.

 

[Niagara Bill]

He hasn’t hit 100 points yet.

99, sorry Mr. Marner.

 

[JL17]

99, sorry Mr. Marner.

If the guy never hits a 100 in his career is he a 100 point winger when he retires?

I’d be last guy to be called Mr Marner. He doesn’t like me.

Trading one of the big 4 was the expectation amongst he fanbase and the biggest focus of the summer. There wasn't a bigger fish to fry

 

[Gary Nylund]

Agreed. I think crying in the penalty box qualifies as bad and shows mental weakness, hopefully he's grown since then.

With the MNC kicking in, it should have been seriously explored but I believe Shanny shot that down. Signing Matty was at the top of Tre's to do list. Do not know where signing Willie was on his list but it is looking like he blew that.

Looking like Tre did not pass most of the tests this past summer.

That ended the relaxed dress code that was implemented after a week.

Sulking on a missed pass last night and then his ENG turnover shows the growth isn't there, sadly

I'd take Marner as well.
But there is a bit more to Stutzle's game than opposing teams perceiving diving. That's usually a sign for something else.
