Player Discussion Mitch Marner

[57 Years No Cup]

its quite baffling really. The absolute trash dubas strategy of having "front" heavy cap structure who continue to be a JOKE in the playoffs doesn't work.

For the "wonder boy" he fails too often and too spectacularly at important events and time.

Just look at the marner failures below.... just a few examples that pissed the F outta me....

Game 7 against habs - offensive zone turnover by marner when game was tied 0-0 (I can list many STUPID plays by marner in the habs series and no not just puck over the glass to give them 5 on 3 i.e. the obvious ones)


Game 6 against bolts in OT (first time around) - stupid pass AND then STUPID DEFENSE (again could list many STUPID plays by marner in the series including Game 7)


Game 2 against Florida Leafs had a 2-0 lead and then Marner being a complete buffoon (at 1:50 mark)


Marner was a f***ing GHOST in that series against Florida

Game 7 against Bruins this year (I could add others from the series where he was complete ASS)

And ofcourse Game 7 OT Marner being a complete ASS

https://x.com/i/web/status/1786968685816459688

How can we justify the current 11 AAV cap hit of marner with such egrigious plays forget about giving him a raise and locking him long term. JESUS!

People often forget that little things matter in the game and Marner more often than not is a COMPLETE JOKE! 11 AAV is too much for a player like that who continues to make glaring mistakes and at important times; and people are wanting that Leafs re-up this buffoon of a player for 12.5+ AAV on an 8 year term? HELL if that is not enough they effing want 4 forwards on the team with 11AAV+

I mean COME ON!!!

Its the Logo in the front that matters not the name on the back. This dubas philosophy needs to take a HIKE! Its NOT about the core 4 its about the TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS! These people need to listen to Tre

B-bu-but I've heard he's an "elite" defensive forward....

 

[Smif]

He scored 26 goals this season. And no showed for the playoffs.

View attachment 887706

He's 77th best in my books.

Rantanen and Panarin paid reasonably.

Marner is grossly overpaid vs these comparables.

Marner is 8.5 AAV, max 9.5

Panarin is almost a perfect example of a comparable for Marner, they should be paid very similarly. This season was his outlier season, last year Rangers fans said exactly what you're saying about Marner after Panarin put up two assists in 7 playoff games...Theu wanted him long gone.

This is why we can't have noce things. Every single person in here blaming the entire season on Marner. Such bad takes.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

And he's right up there in expected Selke, Art Ross and Conn Smythe trophies as well.

Bring back Babcock as an assistant coach who's only focus will be Marner. I want lists of lists. Get him Babs.

we have perpetual first round exits.
not nice at all.

THE CORE doesnt work.
Marner isnt part of the solution.
Tre picked Nylander.
No Stanley Cup champ is built from the Right wing IN.

Panarin doesn’t play well in the playoffs either

 

[PromisedLand]

You know what I didn't hear like I did with Matthews and Nylander contracts from Treliving? "It is our priority to get that contract done! "

NOTHING LIKE THAT

Mitch is a great regular season passer.
When the play is loose.

When the game steps up Marner WILL NEVER likely have the answer.
But he might, in the right situation, BUT IT WILL NEVER BE ON THE LEAFS.

Tre.
Picked.
WN88 >>> MM16.

Brad Treliving declines to address any "speculation" on what comes next for Mitch Marner, but said multiple times that "He's a star."

Pumping the trade value. Love it Tre.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

That's the most physical ive seen Marner in years.

Denile isn't a river in Egypt dude.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

I think running it back with MM is a great idea.

This is a very good point imo.

On that Pasta OT winner, it looks like he was shot out of a cannon off the bench. Not. Elite my ass.

 

[Gabriel426]

Tre said a lot and it really like he didn’t said anything, lol.

As I said earlier, it is very different than last year with AM and Willie, as it was more,both sides wanted to get it done and just need to agree on price.
Where as with MM, it seems like they are just waiting for the best offer and there is literally nothing on JT.

Wingers don't usually follow the opposing winger down low especially when there's a Dman below him.

 

[danny90]

Now do playoffs.

If Marner would take accountability and stop being such a clown in the media he’d be a fan favorite.

And if he reaches his full potential he’s a top 5 player in the league.

What is there realistically to say? He's not going anywhere. That's the end of it.

 

[Gabriel426]

Wingers don't usually follow the opposing winger down low especially when there's a Dman below him.

But they would at least make it a bit more difficult for opposing player to enter the zone, such as a little bump or even be in front of said player.

It was a great play from the Bruins, there is no doubt about that. However, MM who supposed to be this amazing Selke level forward, should had done a little more than just letting opposing player enter the zone untouch, the goal could had been prevented.

Like getting an extension, team friendly deal….
But there is nothing, like absolutely nothing. Even medias are not talking about it.

 

[ToneDog]

Yeah but he did not even look like he had a pulse in OT in game #7. Not even an attempt to slow Pasta down. He's not the only one to fault but not a good look IMO. Would love to get Berube's take on the play.

Disagree. Everyone just trying to heap on Marner. If it was beloved Matthews it wouldn't have been brought up.

Seriously TOP 5?

He might not even be Top 5 in the division.
Pasta, Kuch, Barkov, AM then Point, and Tkachuk.

This continues to be much, much different then the tone/language used with Nylander and his signing.

 

[Gabriel426]

1. AM is not beloved
2. MM didn’t even realized Pasta was skating next to him till too late.
