Leafs will never win a cup with mitch marner
Here’s my bone to pick with the leafs organization and fans… they say Marner is soft. But then they sign Nylander to 11.5X8. They say Marner isn’t a playoff performer. But he has most PPG out of our core In the playoffs. They say Marner isn’t worth more money. But they give Willy a 5 mill a year increase when he’s only had one really good season. The fact of the matter is that Marner makes the players around him better. Point blank. Period. That’s what superstars do. Without Marner Tavares don’t get 47 goals hud first year as a leaf. Without Marner, Matthew doesn’t get 69 goals last season. And to be honest without Marner, the leafs probably don’t make the playoffs in our division.
So getting rid of Marner would be the biggest mistake this organization has ever made. The problem was giving Tavares as much as they did for as long as they did. And also, giving Willie as much as they did.
Is he the Bo Bichette of hockey?
Marner not being a playoff performing?? None of the leafs have been a playoff performer… your new captain bailed on your team last playoffs 😂😂 pretty pathetic
How can you give him Leon Drai (oilers)i Money, and Domi @ 3.75 Mil is a better linemate for #34. Cannot believe he wants 10 Mil more then Domi and Domi is better in the playoffs.
Treliving needs to extend Marner without a full no-trade clause, allow him to raise his value then trade him in the next off season for a stud Dman. Otherwise Marner walks and the Leafs get nothing.
Saying that you can sign a second line centre with the money left over from JT’s reduced contract next year is a ridiculous statement . Next year Joe Woll goes up by almost 3 mil, Matt Knies goes up a few million and if you resign JT at 4/5 mil, there’s your almost 11 mil of cap space gone.
Gottaa sign Mather. Shouldn’t have signed Willy.
If Marner wants more let him walk, for a guy that’s keeps say I love playing for the leafs, prove it
you think Marner is signing a contract without a no move and you think Leafs will give him one? not a chance
I dont think marner is worth 12 mil at that payscale you are saying hes as good as mckinnon better than Kucherov better than Pastrnak better than Draisitl and as good as Mcdavid hes not in the coversation as being in that conversation if he wants to stay a leaf and allow the team to be competitive i think somewhere around what he makes now or a little bit less is worth it for him pastrnak took 9.5 to stay in boston kucherov took around 10 to stay in tampa and it is sounding like draisaitl will take between 10 and 11 to stay in edmonton and mcdavid said he would take a team friendly deal to keep edmontons cup window open this greed by the core needs to stop or they wont win a cup
He says he wants to be a leaf. But if he really wanted to be a leaf he wouldn’t screw over the team’s salary cap.
The Leafs need to he savage with Marner. He shouldn't be playing if he's not resigned. Trade him or sign him to a team friendly deal. It'll not bench him!!!
Marner in TO for life!!
Jt is taking 3m a year
Tavares 5 year 3.8 mil per.
No player is worth 12 million dollars because they make lots of money from endorsements
When Marner played with Tavares, that season Tavares had a career high 47 goals. Without Marner, Mathews doesn’t get all those scoring records. Proof is out there, just look at Mathews career goals and Marner’s assisted on 90% of those goals. The media is doing the exact same thing they did with Kadri. Force him out of town.
This is going to be a major distraction. It's going to be an issue all year. Hopefully they trade mitch at the trade deadline, I don't give a crap what we get for him, just something. It's not going to be an easy ride this year for him, he's going to get a lot of shade thrown his direction, from me as well!!
If Marner wants to stay he needs to drop what he wants and do what's best for the team. He's already made his millions
Here is how next years season will look. IMO THE CORE 4 + MORGAN ARE STILL HERE.. Mathews at $13.25, Marner @ $12.0 Nylander @ $11.5, JT @ 5.75 and Morgan @ $7.5 Total = $ 50 Million total. The Good news is the Salary Cap will be about $92 Million so Treliving will not be as handcuffed as this year.
