his behavior so farWhy do you think he’s motivated by money any more than any other player?

You think you need to be a psychologist to predict a player is gonna be motivated to play well in a contract year? Or to say that he struggles to perform under pressure when over his career he’s 1.2 ppg in games 1-4 but 0.4 ppg in games 5-7?The psychologists in this thread are amazing.
I had no idea this many people on hfboards were professionals who have had extensive personal contact with Marner allowing them to make all these definitive comments on his motivations and personal failings.
he did it to himself. being as active on social media and then taking that big of a contract when he arguably didn't deserve it.If the fans would just stop putting shambles in his brains, he would.
Matthews gets to play with Marner. Matthews doesn’t make anyone better .why not. for all his flaws, hes an extremely talented player. If he gets to play with Matthews very good chance he has a career year.
do you actually believe the crap your spewing? majority of the fans thought he was highly over paid.Nothing the Leafs overpaid stars do better than playing for themselves. He puts up a career year. Leafs fans do a 180 from all their “bitchy Mitchy” comments. Credit goes to “finally getting a real coach”. Marner lands 12.5m x 8 contract. Leafs fans go around yelling what a sweetheart deal it is. Leafs get bounced first round and blame another player on their way out for all their problems.
Matthews gets to play with Marner. Matthews doesn’t make anyone better .
“im happy with the Marner contract. its under 11M. slightly but still it is. kids a beast and even though I 100% believe his numbers were inflated with JT. he earned the contract and we are going to be treated every year of those 6years with him and JT together.” - said Arthur Morgan.do you actually believe the crap your spewing? majority of the fans thought he was highly over paid.
Leafs fans actually loved Marner throughout his entire ELC. it was when he signed that massive contract getting vastly over paid is when things started to change. actually it happened when he was holding out in the summer too for the most part expecting Matthews money
we were actually just happy to be done with Babcock
when you make that much money and dont preform in the playoffs, it comes with a reaction and he's done it far too often to justify his contract.
he's paid to be a leader and he's hardly been that.
I'd be surprised if he isn't signed before the playoffs.
The Nylander contract shows that same negligence. The best predictor of the future is the past. Marner is going to have his best year going for that contract. I will be shocked if the Leafs don't have him signed before the end of February.It would be negligent to pay Marner for anything he does before June

I think there's a strong possibility he does, contract year. And he has a chip on his shoulder wanting to prove himself he should remain a Leaf.
well yeah as a fan u try to justify it but alot of people were upset with it. can't always lose ur shit.“im happy with the Marner contract. its under 11M. slightly but still it is. kids a beast and even though I 100% believe his numbers were inflated with JT. he earned the contract and we are going to be treated every year of those 6years with him and JT together.” - said Arthur Morgan.
You know it’s not hard to go back to that thread? Just as I said the 180 Leafs fans are going to do while they pretend they always loved him will be real. Thank you for stepping up and showing yourself as my example.
“when you make that much money and dont preform in the playoffs, it comes with a reaction and he's done it far too often to justify his contract.”
False. Most Leafs fans don’t seem to have much of a problem paying Matthews and Nylander their albatrosses and they are worse than Marner in the playoffs.
Sadly some people will feel like you but he belongs that just a lazy argument.That’s the only way he will prove that he belongs. Nothing he does in the regular season proves anything.
Good that we can now agree it wasn’t me who was spewing the crap.well yeah as a fan u try to justify it but alot of people were upset with it. can't always lose ur shit.
Im sure if u kept looking around the same time I had a negative comments too. likely somewhere in Matthews one about how he got Toews and Kane money without winning.
things changed alot back then, like how we were told this was going to be the new cost for young up and coming stars. we overpaid and everyone else got what they should have.
Nylander got that albatross for his regular season play. His one outlier season that happened to be in his contract year. If his contract was a reflection of his playoff play it would be half.No we already trust Nylander in the playoffs. Past 5/6 years he's been our best player hands down

Hands down? Despite the fact of the big contracts Nylander is the only one out scored 5 on 5, has by far the worst shot share and has less points than Matthews and Marner.
If you think think those stats aren’t good, you clearly haven’t checked your own claim. What a hilarious comment in the context of trying to discredit me.Because when he was on his ELC he wasn't as good. Check his stats the last 5 years like I said.
Calling his contract an albatross is enough to know it is not worth the time here
