Rumor: Spittin' Chiclets: Leafs working on a Marner extension

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

War. War never changes.

 

[McHelpus]

It worked for Edmonton this year no?

Oilers have some shown some sort of results prior though. This leaf core has only made it past the 1st round once, very different situations.

 

[Breakers]

Yes, get it done before the weekend

I want to hear Overdrive rant about the extension tomorrow

 

[Empoleon8771]

Absolute lol if the Leafs extend Marner after all of the shit slinging Leafs fans have done at Dubas for not making changes and sticking with the team as long as he did.

 

[Devilsfan118]

Someone do a wellfare check on Steve Dangle if this extension comes to fruition.

Absolute madness.

 

[JKG33]

Leafs gunna Leaf smh. Keep running it back, surely the 9th time will be different

 

[BCNate]

It worked for Edmonton this year no?

What?? The Oilers already had made the conference finals with their current set up. They ran back what has worked for them. The Leafs are looking to run back constant failure. Two very different things.

 

[Dion TheFluff]

FFS! This teamed is gonna be doomed to early exits and playoff chockers for the foreseeable future.

 

[The Shadow]

This may crash HF when he signs for 8 years at over $11 million.

Maybe Berube can get more out of him than previous coaches could

 

[Sheppy]

They're gonna run it back until Matthews, Marner, and Nylander are 38 years old.

Matthews hairline will be 98 by then

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Leafs fans were telling us how Berube was gonna bag skate him and staple him to the third line and second unit PP if he doesn't waive


Why on earth did toronto fans think that Marner is not in total control of the situation. The hate must have blinded them from reality

 

[TheNewEra]

This may crash HF when he signs for 8 years at over $11 million.

Maybe Berube can get more out of him than previous coaches could

He's going to want what matthews got and is going to ask for more than what Nylander signed for

 

[Gil Gunderson]

This may crash HF when he signs for 8 years at over $11 million.

Maybe Berube can get more out of him than previous coaches could

With the increased cap, he's not going to get just a 100k raise. I'd be shocked if it's less than 11.5-12 mil with whoever he signs with,

 

[KrisLetAngry]

Absolute lol if the Leafs extend Marner after all of the shit slinging Leafs fans have done at Dubas for not making changes and sticking with the team as long as he did.

And rumor has it the reason Dubas left and did not extend was because he wanted to shake it up and trade.

Shanahan is a hockey terrorist

They have to keep every option open. Like it or not, he is a Top 20 regular season forward, as they pointed out on the podcast. There’s a good chance they’re not receiving offers they believe are sufficient.

One thing’s for sure these days. All of the GM posturing that may have worked in past years, really doesn’t work anymore. Teams aren’t going to up their offers with reports they hear in the media. Any trade negotiations about Marner haven’t been initiated by the buyer. Managers know the Leafs are, more than just thinking about selling.

The frustration that is being a Leaf fan, is very, very real.

 

[SI90]

extending Marner is fine if you’re getting rid of someone else. They’re most likely not though.

 

[admiralcadillac]

Dumb dumb dumb

 

[SoupNazi]

If I was a Leaf fan and they extended him, I'd be frustrated as hell. But if they aren't getting the kind of offers they want, what is the alternative? Take a bad deal, or let him walk as FA?

 

[Jumptheshark]

At the 41:10 mark Paul Bissonnette reports the Leafs are aggressively trying to extend Marner and not focused on trading him.

 

[HarrySPlinkett]

People acting like the Leafs are idiots to extend a 27 year old with 639 points in 576 games.

He had a dud playoff.

Year before, he had 14 points in 11 playoff games, and before that, 8 in 7.

But everyone decided it was Mitch’s time in the barrel this year.

Well it worked - talk enough shit about a guy for an entire season, and watch as he puts too much pressure on himself and has 3 in 7.

The idiotic thing to do is trade your 1.11 PPG star player.

Who is from your friggen Town, no less.

Toronto, this is why you can’t have nice things.

God mode! Shambles in our heads

I think MM has been unfairly made the escape goat for the playoff problems. But if they do keep him? Grab the popcorn and head to the leafs board

 

[LeafGrief]

Man, I love this iteration of the Leafs. It's truly the best! They play dazzling, highlight reel hockey for 82 games a year, and then they only play seven games in early May when I'm already bored of hockey anyways. There's so much more time for activities during the summer when it's warm outside!

Surely this deal will mean eight more years of productive summers, I don't know how you suckers manage to have lives watching the third and fourth round of the playoffs. I watched the Leafs in the third round once or twice when I was a kid and it was terrible. So much stress! I hope we sign Mitch to big money and long term, because that will keep these Leafs that I love! Go Leafs Go, but not too hard, I'd hate to see one of them hurt themselves.

 

[RomanianLeafs]

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

It's not like the oilers changing the coach with the same core didn't work for them...not saying it will work for the Leafs but maybe Berube can change their attitude in the playoffs..

 

[The Shadow]

With the increased cap, he's not going to get just a 100k raise. I'd be shocked if it's less than 11.5-12 mil with whoever he signs with,

That’s why I said ‘over $11 million’
