Marner finished 5th in the league in scoring, and 7th in Selke voting.
I get that we all need to come up with ways to cope with his impending departure, but FFS, this team will be weaker next year without him. -Atomic
Accurate.
And Matthews will also most likely be worse as well going from playing with an elite top 5 playmaker (whom is probably one of his closest friends) on his wing to either Domi or some other make shift, second rate replacement.
People seem to forget that Matthews is playing on a 4 year deal, not an 8 year deal. So when he becomes a UFA with a NMC, get ready for him to walk for nothing too when this team starts going into decline.
Or demand a trade and throw this team into full rebuild.
