You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like. I am predicting Mitch Marner to CONTINUE to be an elite regular season point producer and score a CAREER HIGH 105 points! Will he lead the Maple Leafs in points?

Curious what Leafs fans think about this?
He definitely could, especially with a coaching change, but nobody’s going to be satisfied by a great regular season.
If he doesn’t get distracted by the media and his contract status, 105 points is well within range.
It does feel like a very Marner thing to do. Even have his best playoff run to justify a big contract.
Contract yea. Mitch will have a career year, demand 15 million and walk to Nashville for 10.25.
He’s gonna tear it up for Canada in the four nations tournament too
Nobody is denying his performance in the regular season, and the fact that he’s fantastic. He disappears in the playoffs with Matthews, Tavares and (this year) Rielly.
If I was sure that their playoff performance would be better under Berube, sure, keep the core four and see what happens in the summer!
I’m here for it
All I have to say is LOL. Beginning of the end.
He’s produced at a 103 point pace since signing his last contract, 105 should be easily obtained so long as he stays healthy.
I’m going to feel so bad if he just missed out on 100 points again. Team success is obviously paramount but it’s such a tease (for fans, too) to just miss out on a milestone like that.
I’m sure Treliving and Shanny will enjoy career highs for Marner therefore increasing his trade value
Ask me if I care if he puts up 300 points in the regular season but continues to flake on the playoffs.
Scapegoat?! Jack Perry??
Berube is going to make his changes trading Marner now would be total insanity
Is it weird that I’m happy he’s still here?
Let’s make predictions on post-season production.
100 points is still insane!
50 points in the playoffs would be wild!
No one questions Marner is an elite regular season performer. No one doubts his talent for the regular season. The problem is that it isn’t even close to that level when it matters in the playoffs. Simply watching the games tells you what you need to know. We’ve been waiting for “breakout” performances for years and it simply doesn’t happen.
It has been proven based on the last 6 years that building a team with 3 11+ million dollar forwards does not work. Throw an expensive 4th forward (previous being Nylander and moving forward whoever they sign to be 2C) and it leaves them no room for defense, or depth. But sure, keep using the same structure and it’ll be different this year. Sounds like a degenerate gambler saying this time they have the casino beat.
Key point: regular season. I don’t care about that, give me playoff predictions
