WHIPPER
ParticipantDon’t want take anything from Leafs, but Florida did not show up for the first 2 games, especially Bobrobsky.
~AlexTMLPrecisely this. We caught them flat footed, and even though the Leafs won the first two, the games weren’t blowouts at all. Florida was hanging in there but the Leafs just managed to get a few clutch goals at the perfect times.

~senstrolltwoI have complete confidence in the two of them and I’m very optimistic for the future. Florida is going to plateau or get worse, other teams will improve too, but the Leafs have all the pieces they need and a little flexibility with cap space and moveable contracts.
Let Tre cook.

ParticipantAs we watch Florida go to the finals for the third year in a row, and reflecting on the Lightning’s mini-dynasty in the Covid era, it seems laughable now that folks thought NHL hockey wouldn’t work in Florida.
I think a Florida team has won the East for the last five or six years (too lazy to Google).
So, apparently Florida teams went into the meth store, smoked all the meth, and they had to close the meth store.

I never have complete confidence in any of the Leafs anyone anymore.
Just wait and see is all I do now. nothing ever works. Lets try another thing

Well at least with Shanahan gone, you’ll know whatever move Treliving does will be his own.
The lack of first rounders for the next two season hurts though.

For a reasonable price….I fear a big overpayment is coming.

ParticipantReally? Because that’s factually inaccurate.
UGNo its not. I know you dont like facts but marner had 1 assist in the final 4 games against the panthers and 2 assist in the final 3 games against Ottawa.
For $11m he disappears when games count.
In 2023 he had 1 assist in the final 3 games against boston
In 2022 he had 1 assist and 1 goal in the final 3 games against Florida…he showed up for one game
In 2021 he had 2 assist in the final 3 games….technically final 4 games against tampa
In 2020 he had 1 assist in the final 3 games….technically final 4 games against Montreal
Horrible stats for an $11m player….even worse for if he wants $13mThese are facts. So what was previous said was FACTUALLY correct.
Once again…you are not. – FakeBang on but we all know Uggie no likey the facts.
And as Whipper said trying to paint the picture that Marner was anything other than pedestrian (at best) in the final 4 games vs Florida is an absolute lie, when you layer in he was paid 10.9 M it’s a travesty. And (because we all know the deflection, goal post moving and whataboutisms are coming) the rest of the core also shit the bed in games 4-7.
That being said to post endlessly in multiple threads ripping on JT saying he was why they lost, the absolute worst because he didn’t score more all the while JT makes a whopping 100K more than Marner AND plays on L2 without the benefit of an AM and Knies with less minutes but cry over and over that they can’t afford to let Marner go is so funny it’s almost sad.
One 4 foot pass that required zero playmaking ability really where AM goes and rips one home – that same pass could have been made by anyone, and I mean anyone on the roster. Anyone puffing up their chest and trying to say the “Primary assist on the GWG” was some huge accomplishment is kidding themselves.
Marner’s GWG was a seeing eye shot off a screen he floated from the half wall, it was a ‘throw it on net and hope for good things” which worked – his teammates put up a great screen for him and it’s something Marner (and the other skilled players) needed to do more of – shoot the fucking puck through traffic and look for greasy playoff goals.
How anyone can claim ANY of the core was good enough in games 4-7 is wild.

who are the best comparables for him age/production

ParticipantRead a yahoo sports article today saying Jonathan Marchessault is willing to waive his no trade to be moved. He’s got 4 more years at 5.5M per and is 34 and will be 35 come December (he’s 3 months younger than JT).
Is he a possibly 1st/2nd line RW replacement for Marner (L2 if Willy moves to L1)?
Wonder what it would cost to get him out of Nashville?
This may also help set the bar for a JT re-up but cheaper on a home town discout.
