you are the one saying the leafs are done and he is leaving.. jfc
If he wants to leave, nothing they can do… and prefect time to rebuild.you talk out both sides of your mouth
Pretty logical that he’s going to leave after they let his best line mate walk for nothing and the team goes into decline because they already can’t beat the best teams in the division and have little to no hope of improving with free agents.
That’s right, there is nothing they can do. Because the franchise is run by morons. They had a chance to do it right and they’re in the midst of throwing it away.

Actually I can see it just fine. An injured Matthews can still shoot, his problem was only hitting the net properly, and JT shoots just fine, so those two actually strengthen my argument.Marner is Gretzky man. With one exception. Gretzky could see a guy diving down to lay on or pin or block a puck ahead of him doing so by about 1 second and simply stick handled the puck away from being caught up in it whereas Marner doesn’t see it and always gets caught up in it. It’s why Marner always disappears in games 5,6, & 7. It’s when the ref whistles go away.
I’m not trying to be an ass here, I’m saying this with respect to Marner’s talent, but what it’s missing is Gretzky’s ability to see things before they happened.
Exactly.
Marner is a great regular season player and a good game 1 to 4 playoff player, but the leafs cant afford to have two players like that on the team making $13+m.
Sure the leafs will miss marner during the reg season, and marner will do great with his new team during the reg season. Marner really stepped up in Matthews absence during the reg season and carried the team but he never did that in the playoffs.
Its been 9 years, time for some sort of change and change doesnt have to come this off season. In fact I hope the leafs dont blow all their cap this off season unless they sign a bunch of one year deals if possible.
IF Ekblad is available…sign him. Stack up the D, give guys like Tanev and OEL rest while pushing Morgan down to the 3rd line to excel….the hopefully trade next off season.
Marner wants to much money and seems like a bitchy kid, had him and matthews not demanded so much money on their 2nd contracts (and dubas caving in), I think marner could have retired a star in this town.
But ego seems to have gotten in the way.NOPE. WRONG. AGAIN.
You do not trade the less expensive scoring winger who controls play on his own and can produce points without others. You trade the ridiculous expensive passing/playmaking winger, especially since your leading scorer has proven he doesn’t need his help to get 40-50 and play a solid (maybe best in league) 2-way game.
Another sign you know not what you say – Marner plays against top lines by default. His centre is 34. That’s why. Coaches don’t match up wingers to other teams top lines. Why? Cause a winger has A FUCKING FRACTION of the responsibilities 5v5 that the centre does. If Marner played with JT and Willy with 34 – WILLY would be the winger on the ice against top lines. So dumb bud. Jesus at least try to get the game beyond a fat guy in mommy’s basement that plays EA Sports hockey.
- Another sign you are useless in terms of understanding what you watch – is that you feel cause Mitchy kills penalties it makes him a good 5v5 defensive player. Nope. Means he is great at PK work in a set structure where there is not as much pace and thinking. Special teams is just that – special teams. It’s not hockey.
Not a ‘hockey dumb’ point but just plain dumb – you mention I am part of the problem. That’s the deluded world you live in young man. I, like everyone else here have absolutely nothing to do with the NHL Club or its players. You racist pedo incels are nuts eh. You feel like you are making decisions? At least you can spell your own name (I assume). How are you walking up stairs? Actually you don’t walk up stairs – mommy brings you your stuff to basement. My 600lb Rare Jewel Life – coming this fall on TLC.
The fact you can’t see that roster composition
is the problem is not surprising. I mean you weren’t ever a player. At any level. They don’t make skates with the load rating for your rotund (sit in front computer all day) physic.Can your first line in response please point out the posting error (text size differential) and some spelling? I’d rather you say something correct vs you talking about a game you can’t see.

Actually, I don’t think you do.
Matthews missed 15 games. Marner still scored without him. Matthews scored a career low in goals and Marner had a career high in assists and points so no, your argument is weak. He can make strong players stronger and any contender will already have that. He’s not going to join a lottery team and even having a guy who can score 30 goals on his line, he literally proved this last season he can still get 75 assists and 100+ points.
If Marner couldn’t see things coming, he wouldn’t be a leader in takeaways, playing on the PK and a Selke nominee. Your analysis is wrong. He sees the play just fine. He’s part of the reason the Leafs won 3 games against the Panthers with a GWG and two primary assists on GWGs. His team around him in Toronto was just not as good as Florida.
Ovechkin took 13 years to win the Cup. Yzerman took 14.
Perfectly Leafy that the Leafs would start the blow up of the team prematurely.

Scored 100 points with 70+ assists with a crippled Matthews all season long. Gave Tavares his career year high in goals prior to playing with Matthews too.
He’ll be just fine in Vegas or Dallas. And even if he doesn’t score 100 points, his hockey IQ, two-way play, will work well enough to get results on those teams.
You and many other Leafs fans just can’t see it yet, just like they couldn’t see Kadri being a playoff beast because they were too busy crying about his suspensions.
