That's a wild trade lol marner would never waive for Winnipeg tho
No, the time to trade Marner was last season, they didn't, so now its time to extend him and find a way to build the team with him in the lineup. He's still a really good player and maybe Berube figures out how to get him to perform later in a series
If they get 1st and second with the Detroit trade, I would do it. U can flip the 1st for another top 4 heavy defenceman and slide oel to ur 3rd pair. Also u can trade the 2nd for top 9 forwards. Lucas would be great now and in the future with cowen and mittan
I've seen some fans throwing fits over the Leafs sticking with the 'Core-4,' but let's break it down. Right now, we've got Mitch Marner—who, at worst, will maintain his top-5 NHL points-per-60 production, and at best, has something to prove. Even before his full no-trade clause kicked in, there was no guarantee the Leafs could win a trade involving him. Chances are, whatever they could get now wouldn’t be much better than what they can get as a UFA in 2025 if Marner doesn’t re-sign.
Is Marner bad in the playoffs? Think the issue is as a smaller offensive forward, he going to struggle against physical teams like Boston, Tampa Bay, and Florida. Look at Florida—they don't just rough up a player like Marner; they roughed up the Oilers out of a Cup run too. There are plenty of playoff teams Toronto hasn’t faced where Marner could have excelled. Some of the greatest players in the Hockey Hall of Fame had glaring weaknesses, but they had teammates who compensated for those deficiencies. Marner is an elite playmaker who get paired with top-tier goal scorers, but against physical teams, Toronto needs more than just Matthews who you really don't want to see chucking them.
If Marner had someone like prime Wendel Clark on his line, the impact in the playoffs would be a lot different. When Boston or any team tries to hit Marner, Toronto needs a player who will make the opposition pay for it—a player who will ask, "Who’s next?" and back it up.
Raymond, 2 1sts ++?? Lay off the pipe 😂
Again with marner they wanted too trade marnar they would of done it leafs aren't trading him
Why blame Marners for the core 4 failures ? I didnt see Matthews or Willy filling the ner in the playoffs. Don't make Mitch the scapegoat.
No way they trade away 100 pts and a chance at a playoff spot
Mitch Marner is the Ballard curse in human form
If you could get Ehlers, McGroarty or Perfetti and a first for Marner the Leafs should jump at it. Pretty sure you wouldn't get this.
free up cap. dont care how. stop signing 4 th line spares unless they are super cheap. get a goalie damnit. this is last chance for most of the leaf team.
Marner for Raymond, Bergrend, Wallinder and a first and you get rid of that damn Marner contract and the angst over signing him. Take it and run.
Wallinder is Detroits 8th best prospect so probably makes the Leafs defense better. Berggren is a point a game AHL player, probably instantly becomes one of the leafs best offensive prospects and he is successful at the AHL level.
But heck if you want get Joe Veleno instead. I like Berggren cause he's got more upside. We sort of have seen what Veleno is likely to be.
And yes insist on a first.
Get that 10.9$ million off the books. Sign Raymond for 4 years at $6.5. See if they will take Reaves as part of this deal.
Don't have to worry about signing Marner again.
This version of the Leafs Can't win a cup.
The new version with a little more flexiblity and if they can sign Tavares at $4 can hopefully find that first pair defender they are missing. And then maybe they challenge a little for a cup.
But this version can't win. Try to create a different version.
Why would you trade him? Your going to lose the trade as he’s one year from free agency . Caps going up next year as well , I would sign him see how he does this year and make decision after you sign him
More soy boi brain dead blather
How stupid is the GM? Sign Marner to a 6 year deal without no trade clause, then on July 1st trade him!!! That way you get something back for him instead of letting another player walk away with no return. It won’t affect the cap for next year either!!! Do it and show us you know a little about hockey.
Marner is as useful as a spoon for steak
Imagine if every player on the leafs committed to salraries no larger than 9 million to stay competitive. Think about it. Tavares 2mil
Matthews 4mil
Marner 2mil pre extension
Nylander 2mil
Thats 10 million. Imagine the possibilities. Oh what a pipe dream
😂 Marner is going to refuse to sign an extension and refuse a trade. Then he'll walk for nothing at the end of the season. Treeliving 101
I think trading Marner at this point is just stupid IMO
Let Mitch play until the trade deadline so he can either make his value more or less to get more back or sign him for less if he doesn’t perform!! Also Tavares gets no more than 3 million or let him bounce
Too much emphasis on Marner. Is he a little over paid? YES! but it was an agreement made by the T.M.L. organization. Do I blame him for taking the contract he got? NO! not at all. Just as I don't blame Marner for all the mishaps during the playoffs. Some pod members (I won't mention names) are so adamant about their view, that just they won't put it to rest. They apparently know more about hockey than those who are involved. I'm almost certain that Brad Treliving believes that Marner brings a lot to the table and I think he is right. I'm not trying to spoon feed those who read this. It's just my opinion …
Let him walk as UFA then use the $$$ to get a better player
Theres no trade from the Detroit red wings for Marner that the Leafs will even think about unless it includes Mo Seider. They just dont have the players the leafs would want at this stage of where the leafs are at.. Seider would be the only one of Intrigue to Treliving. If Detroit put together a Package of something like Seider, Prospect whos ready for NHL or Just made the jump to NHL and a 1st Round pick. THEN I think the Leafs listen and try and make a deal including Marner , if not. The Wings dont have what they want. and wings wont trade Seider.
No thanks on Raymond. Not the right return at all. If you replace Raymond with Sieder, then maybe.
I guess the regular season will be a better example but I haven't seen ANYTHING reported on this channel come to fruition yet. Just sounds like a bunch of fluff to get through the summer. But I get it your audience is still small you need to post something. I suggest when your at 100k 200k followers take the summer off and just enjoy the golf course bud.
..the reason Marner is still a Leaf..no one outstde T.O. values Mitch like they do…the "core" is a season killer…8 years in a row.?? if a "bag of pucks" is offered..take it and use the 12 million wisely..you immediately become better and hopefully not a league leader for "softness"..
There is no way Winnipeg trades that much for a 2 year Necas rental.
From trade rumor that red wings look to aquire F Mitchell Marner from leafs for C/LW Michael Rasmussen and one time cup champ with Avalanche LW/RW J.T Compher and picks if true or not we will see?
