Mitch Marner has taken his summer extremely seriously. He knows what’s hovering around him, and he’s determined to have the best season he can. He’s also been working out with Sidney Crosby and Nathan MacKinnon, and he’s looked dynamite with them.
Marner’s agent, Darren Ferris, is known for taking his clients to free agency, but as for Marner, ‘everyone’s going to regret it if he leaves.’

And the best playoffs right?
…. right? 😀
Yeah of course he starts taking it seriously in a contract year
Inb4 Dubas signs him next summer for 14×7
We don’t care Mitch. Just more selfishness.
Edit: if any of you actually think he’s making the effort for any reason other than it’s a contract year and he’s trying to get paid you’re part of the problem.
Getting Olympic ready
This post is clearly going to have stupid comments all over the place. There is an article of Marner’s intense workout plans every fucking offseason but this is going to be handled as if Marner never skated in the offseason before because we have to constantly be irrationally angry at him.
>everyone is going to regret it if he leaves
Does that include himself? Does he want to stay as a Leaf or not?
Running up and down citadel hill
His biggest problems won’t be solved by working out more.
talk is cheap… prove yourself in the playoffs or gtfo
I wonder who is else is there. Batherson. Marchand.
As a Manchester United fan this reminds me of the annual summer posts about Marcus Rashford ‘training harder than ever’. The lack of quality/skill of both these guys in their respective sports is not the issue. It’s how they handle adversity. That won’t be solved by training harder, or even being around guys who’ve won IMO. You can’t just teach that, and you can’t just learn it by being close to people who have it.
The Leafs will regret it if he leaves?
Nice! Maybe he’ll be strong and brave this year so when he’s getting one hand rag dolled by Tkatchuk in the playoffs he’ll be able to take care of himself instead of laughing and looking like he’s going to vomit.
UFA year- obviously take it seriously for paycheck.
The whole mentality is screwed up. His whole goal this season is to prove a point? That’s the problem with Marner. It’s all about him him him.
Doesn’t Marchand train with them too
I definitely don’t want him to go, he’s such a playmaker but somehow the defensive coverage of him in the playoffs extinguishes his ability. I know he’s paid too much, he should have had this current contract after some playoff success or maybe even after a cup win. But we are where we are, dont have a time machine.
ah yes taking the summer before a contract year serious lmfaoooooooo
Only to be completely useless in the playoffs. Am I the only person who saw a noticeable difference? He was being outplayed by Knies the ENTIRE first round. Marners highlights are throwing full turnovers to the other team every pass.

People are reading far to much into this, I think this has a bit more to do with the fact that these guys are going to play on the 4 nations team and likely at the next olympics as well
Mitch, if this victim mentality of “you against the world” is what it takes for you to be a beast in the playoffs, fucking have at it.
Win us a Cup this year and do whatever the fuck you want after. Stay here for 14M, go play in Utah for 16M, I don’t care.
Just win, now.
That’s good, bro is gonna go off this season then gonna ask to be paid like Drai/Papi lol
You do realize that he likely trains very seriously every offseason, and that he isn’t just miraculously training hard now because he’s in a contract year?
“He’s just doing it to make more money” crowd needs to realize he’s getting paid a boatload whether he has a career year or not lmao
I think he needs a really good psychiatrist more then he needs any physical or skill training lol
well thank goodness we can see where his priorities are. Pay Day Mitch.
Well that’s it, 14.93×8 gotta be official now
I’d pay to watch Nate swat the bag of skittles out of his hand as he walked in the dressing room
haha ok. don’t let the door hit you on the way out
Regret if he leaves hahaha.
This team is on indefinite pause until he is unloaded.
Only thing Crosby and Mckinnon should fix is his mind set. Kid is still terrified of men.
He’s a Penguin next year, 7×14.093M
When are we trading this guy
Its either we sign him to an outrageous contract or walk him to UFA there’s no way he’ll settle for less than 12
What are the odds someone there can brainwash them so MacKinnon thinks he’s Marner and comes back instead.
Literally hear this every summer from Mitch’s camp LMAO
Mitch is a good player and I’m sure he’ll figure it out in the playoffs one day, but fact of the matter is he’s going to ask for too much money.
this is a dumb anti-leafs, work leafs fan into a rage so theyll engage type bs. So, hes never taken any other year seriously? k… What this yentah is trying to do is get leafs fans anxious that somehow working out with elite nhlers means hes somehow preparing to stick it to team…….while dropping Ferris name (Derrin Ferris is the one that feeds this nonsense to Elliotte btw). Everyone wants to blame Leafs for poor asset management here considering they basically are going to be forced to let him walk……but in reality its his sack of shit agent and dad who have 0 idea how to do whats best for Mitch.
You can’t play a regular line, penalty kill and powerplay without being in shape. Marner produces every year and deserves a good paycheck. I also think his pay is unfairly compared to some players. If you take Florida’s tax break into account Point is actually paid more than Marner. However, Marner does not deserve Matthews money. He hasn’t come close to an award, isn’t nearly as dominant and still needs to prove himself in the playoffs even though his results are actually better than Nylander and he’s more versatile -just wish we hadn’t committed so much to Nylander, we can’t afford them all.
I’ve never wanted him to leave. He’s made his mistakes but is clearly going to become an even more phenomenal player going forwards
I hope this is the lineup for team Canada anyway that’s good. He’s trying hard.
Regret what? His agent loves threatening to leave, and now we’re fear mongering the risk of him leaving?
This is just their public negotiation tactics beginning.
Whatever
Sid for Marner… straight up
I hope he has been in the weight room putting some mass on.
The dude just needs to eat some junior chickens. He should hire kessel as his health coach
its all talk until he starts dominating in the playoffs. That’s what he’s paid to do.
lol imagine if Marner actually got into a fight this season
