I never listen to Friedman or Kypreos. Know it alls blowing hot air.
You have a guy that has never been in anything like the job he is in – and he is going to eliminate that president of hockey ops ? That doesn't make any sense at all.
I'd resign marner for 7 million a year, he's not worth a penny more
š¤®š¤®š¤®š¤®
Time for the Leafs to flex their muscle with the league and get the guy they want to coach.
Youāre telling me 29 teams want a player who is soft and puts up a pathetic amount of points in the playoffs?! For 12 mil?!?
One of the reasons that the team didn't want to "lose" a deal with Nylander was because Treliving was still a new GM, and didn't fully understand what kind of team he had. He's had a year now to observe things first-hand and knows what the Leafs need.
Elliote Friedman oscillates from being intelligent and informed and just being a Rogers schill.
If you mess with the balance and the multiple threats, don't cry if everything falls apart.
If you work for Rogers do you have to be a professional ass kisser?
Hilarious to once again see the homer TO media not realize they arenāt close to a Cup. ššš¤¢
Bill McCreary saved my life …lol …Kypers a real one.
Well, if you look at the results, you CAN'T keep Shanahan can you?
If Johhhhhny T was a real team guy he could go to management and tell them heād like to re-work his dealā¦
The return of Babs would be peak!
Hope the brains of the Leafs decide to run it back. Means we can watch this circus for years to come! š
I'll drive Keefe and his GOOD friend Marner down to Pittsburg, for free! Anyone that uses Marner-the-friendly -ghost on special teams HAS to go! Umm…geee…ummm…1 for 17 goals on PPs. WTH…are you STUPID? You DON'T have a PP with Marner out there you idiot…and how many times do you need to see this before you….SEE this?!?!?
Bridge deal or one year deal at 9million for Mitch Marner but not in Toronto. He needs to prove he can play playoff hockey.
The only way Mitch stays a leaf this off season is if he takes a pay cut to show that he really wants to be here. I feel bad for the guy at this point, all everyone wants to do is bash him and expect him to play good. That was my knee jerk reaction but a pay cut from one of the 4 would change the perspective. Obviously JT will heās beyond those day
Tavares signs for 5 a year to finish here. That frees up 6 million mitch isn't an 11.5 guy. He's a same money 8 years with a trade clause after 3 years on the team side. Or trade for a big well skating Dman. To start you gotta do some deals.
Patrick Laine from Columbus for mitch marner…..hes had injuries but hes only 7.5 mill compared to marners 11mill.
Strip the part-time "A" from Marner…….great regular season point getter, not a leader, not a playoff performer and after the glove throwing incident on the bench NOT a teammate that I would want to go to war with….His ego…..would have him agreeing to a trade in a heartbeat. If you're hell bent on getting rid of JT…..Strip him of the Captaincy and give it to Matthews.
If neither will wave their No Trade clause and you have 2 thirds of your 4th line…..and neither player is part of the leadership letter group going forward…..We go through pain for another year ….21 Million dollars goes a long way to sorting out Goaltending and Defence Stud's……If Management wants to give No Movement clauses, do it in the beginning of a contract..NOT the end when divorce is likely!……8 Year contact No movement for 24 months, 25- 48 months 10 team No Trade Clause, 49 months plus…..No clauses. Period! The fact that contracts are fully guaranteed unlike NFL Contracts..Beside if the contract is that BAD…..what other team would take the player anyway…..??????
If Marner wants to go to FA then trade his ass right before the deadline next year. Someone will easily give you 1 or maybe even 2 first round picks for a rental.
Assuming Friedman is correct, you can kiss Marner goodbye, which would make a lot of Leaf fans happy. Friege claims Marner's agent Ferris usually walks his players to free agency. The problem with that is, there are some bigger guns heading to UFA status besides Marner. Draisaitl & Rantanen are UFA's in 2025 & I'm not sure how Colorado & Edmonton can fit them in at their much higher aav's. I value both of them ahead of Marner frankly. The Leafs will have a minimum of 27M to spend (or not) with Marner & Tavares off the books in 2025.
Look at Miller's contract with the Canucks, 8 mil per year. Giving 12 mil to Maner, come on! Who would you rather have. Miller is a competitor!
Woll #1 and Desmith #2 possible as I'd think Silovs has earned #2 in Vancouver next year.
EF is the tigers paw,he does the heavy lifting for the powers that own the NHL.
Anything that is said ,no matter what show this guy is on ,their is trepidation and cloaked intimidation by the hosts,this guy has ended podcasts with a speed dial on his phone .That is gospel truth ,think about it ,you will understand what Im saying.
anytime elliotte opens his mouth i turn the volume off,,, just another never been there guy who likes to here himself talk,,,,,
This whole situation is on Shanahan. The fact that Shanahan and Keefe are still part of the organization just shows how big of a joke this franchise is and how this organization is not committed to winning the cup.
Lou said it best: "Players need to play for the crest not the name on the the back of sweater".
And what did Shanahan do? He gave the job to Kyle Dubas because he pressed Shanahan and threatened to go to Colorado and that idiot president gave an inexperienced dork with glasses the GM job with no NHL experience, now look where there team is.
Fire everyone in that is not named treliving. Right the ship
Elliotte the Gossip Queen
āLegitimate 100 point playerā about a player that has never gotten 100 points.
If this were Vegas, Marner and tavares would have been embarrassed by the organization and moved out of the organization. Toronto is too nice, and incompetent. You either want to win a stanley cup or you don't. If you don't get rid of these two, you're telling the fans you don't want to do everything possible to win. That's what you're saying.
Any team willing to give Marner 12 million a year for 8 years need their heads examined. Heās only considered a 12 million player by these guys because the Leafs grossly overpaid him. A 90 point player who tops out at 30 goals a year and disappears in the playoffs is not worth close to 12 million. These guys are delusional. The media loves overrating thier own players.
if they can wouldn't it be funny if Marner wont accept a trade then buy him out after free agency is passed when no teams have the money to sign him
Who wants Marner? What teams? He is proven loser in the playoffs. So why would you want him when whatās important is the playoffs.
Let Marner go to free agency and lets see what teams want to sign him to his delusional demands.
12 mill for Marner is delusional
Babcock is the Leafs ANSWER!
Marner is looking at 100 sheets of silky smooth 400 thread-count, a la $100 million (at 8×12.5 sign-and-trade) if he's willing to waive his NTC/NMC… i think this is a quintessential deal for this management team to make in the offseason to free-up cap space to keep Domi, Edmundson and McCabe! I could see Dubas/EK65, Seth Jones, Brandon Montour, Dougie Hamilton potentially trading for Marner, or as far as goalies Hellebyuck, Markstrom coming back. Unfortunately, a buyout of JT would only free up $3.5 mil or so, but maybe that's enough… I don't see JT wanting to leave, but I see Marner's upside as a big bartering chip to get him to think about it as Kyper said, he's not getting the money or the 8th year like Friege says.. what a beauty guy btw.. great interview!!! and as a huge SJ Sharks fan, I'm not watching the live lottery (I can't take it) I'll tune in after to see if we get hosed or not, as to whether I want to go to the live draft in Vegas on June 28/29! ha
Marner out Babcock back ! Lindy Ruff went back.
Green in Ottawa is a mistake…esp when Keefe will be available and is a more successful coach
I agree with Elliot, the Leafsin their usual insanity , will not do as much as one thinks or wants. Most likely a change at coach and bench staff, they will sign Marner to extension , make a couple of trades, they are soft on Samsonov and may not trade him. Other than that I for one would be shocked if they do anything out of the norm.
I love this discussion about Marner (who has proven to be a por playoff player, wired or not) wanting 12 million times 8, this is INSANE. In the playoff which is another level, brutal and stressful, making little Marner inactive would be easy.
I think marnier would be great on the Philadelphia flyers.
