Do you have any concrete evidence that Marner is a "popular guy around the league"?

Just his biased view on Mitch being the perfect human being, actually more God than mere mortal…….

 

[rumman]

Marchment just got traded to Seattle for a 3rd and a 4th.

Bubbles us probably eating pizza at one of his daddy’s restaurants…….

 

[Amadeus]

Wasn't big on Marchment anyway.

 

[stickty111]

Don't really see why Marchment is so wanted here so I'm fine with not getting him.

 

[TMLAM34]

Ladies and gentlemen, your 25/26 Toronto Maple Leafs!!!

Knies - Matthews - Domi
Holmberg - Tavares - Nylander
McMann - Laughton - Jarnkrok
Quillan - Kampf - Reaves

Rielly - Carlo
McCabe - Tanev
Benoit - Ekman Larsson

Stolarz - Woll


Can’t wait to add Mangiapane from free agency to this group to play with JT and Willy!







Just kidding… Common Tre let’s see some MOVES!!!!!!

 

[Leaffan1991]

I think it's going to get pretty dark here for the next while here...

Good deal for Seattle. Wish we were in on that in some capacity lol, would love Marchment back.

 

[Gallagbi]

Surprised we weren't in on Marchment, but his playoff numbers are pretty rough

 

[Torontonian]

Pretty cheap cost for Marchment.. Wonder what the Leafs are up too if they aren't paying that price for him.

 

[Americanadian]

That’s not bad, you’d hope there would be 3 other destinations he would not want to go to. I still don’t really see Colorado looking to move him so soon, I think they’d rather move Colton/Wood.

I’m not sure if they prefer moving Colton given age and contract but I’d be interested in both him and Coyle.

 

[Americanadian]

I’m happy the Leafs avoided Marchment. I wanted him badly when he was UFA but his playoff production is putrid. He also leads the league in embellishment penalties (I think).

A "saving the money for mcdavid" line-up.

 

[TMLAM34]

Coyle would be better than Colton. However JT is still a better option at 2C than either IMO. With Coyle, I can see a shutdown third line with Laughton - Coyle on it. Than Tavares - Nylander on the second with Knies - Matthews on the first.

Coyle hasn't been a shutdown C since Bergeron and Krejci retired. I'd give him a chance with Knies and Nylander to replicate his 22/23 production. I've seen enough of Tavares/Nylander. Also Laughton should be nowhere near a shutdown line. I'd be trading Laughton for Coyle. My current ideal forward group is:

Domi-Matthews-Tippett
Knies-Coyle-Nylander
X-Tavares-Raddysh
Pospisil-Kastelic-Hathaway

 

[Rare Jewel]

Marchment is a bit slow for me.

I'm basically working off of Knies and Marchand as the top two LWers, so Marchment @ $4.5 as your 3rd is a bit pricey as well.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Look up to this point I've been VERY happy with the job Treliving has done, ESPECIALLY when it comes to the defense, I LOVE the defense.

But it bothers me that Treliving missed out on Marchment especially at THAT price.

Now he does have a 10 team NTC and maybe the Leafs are on it and there is nothing Treliving could have done, after all they already traded him once maybe it pissed him off and he went "f*** you."

But if that's not the case and they CHOSE not to beat a 3rd and a 4th for a big top 6 20+ goal scoring LW.

And make no mistake if the Leafs aren't on his 10 team no trade list then they CHOSE not to get him given the price he went for.

And IF that is the case and I don't know if it is.

But IF it is Treliving made a HUGE mistake

 

[Americanadian]

I still really like Gage Goncalves for a 3LW role with Tavares. Offer sheet at 2.34Mx2 would probably get him out of Tampa.

 

[jaric1862]

I think Jeff Skinner is a great buy-low candidate. Can't imagine his contract would be too much after the year he just had.
Kane is also someone the leafs could probably acquire for pennies on the dollar, given the oilers need to make room.

Skinner had his opportunity last year and chose Edmonton over Toronto. Needed an injury to happen to get in playoff games… No thanks.

Thank you, Seattle. Bullet dodged.

Florida picked up a number of players, from other teams trash heaps, and made them into players... they took some risks, and they mostly worked out. I'm not saying Marchment is going to turn into a star or anything, but we have to take some risks, and find some players who might fit better here. He has his warts, as all players do... He'll cost next to nothing, and provide some good regular season stats.

He, and pretty much everyone here need to find ways to be better in the playoffs... it's kind of a weird a big physical guy struggles at the time when he should excel though... perhaps speed being the issue. But then you can work on your skating to some degree.

But... when you compare what he's paid, to what some of the UFA's will get paid.. it will kind of be a cheap contract. I think Evander Kane is a guy who gets moved as well... perfect... not at all... but he's fast AND physical... a little over the edge at times for sure.. but that's kind of what we are doing this year... shopping at the discount store, to fill a want.

I believe from percentile ranks hes like 40 percentile worse than tavares and pacioretty when it comes to skating speed lol thats why he sucks

 

[weems]

Just saying but both Matthews and McDavid have the same agent

 

[WillNy29]

Just his biased view on Mitch being the perfect human being, actually more God than mere mortal…….

from some people I know who know he trained with mackinnon and crosby and both made pitches to him to join them

 

[Phion Keneuf]

Marchment is Bertuzzi-lite. Glad we didn’t go for it

why? the player sucks donkey ass, cant skate for shit, embellishes all over the place, sucks defensively and most importantly is a big playoff ghost
