Florida off to the Final again. 3rd year in a row. Scored 5+ goals in 4 out of 5 games.
Leafs, as flawed as they were, took this team to Game 7. – Unholy_Goalie
Don’t want take anything from Leafs, but Florida did not show up for the first 2 games, especially Bobrobsky.
Really? 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.Florida off to the Final again. 3rd year in a row. Scored 5+ goals in 4 out of 5 games.

Is everyone blind? He looks like Duckie from 16 Candles.
For the record I take Marner over Nylander every day, but ….
Against Florida on ice 5v5 GF/GA was ..
Nylander 6/6
Marner 6/7
Matthews 6/6
Knies 6/7
Tavares 5/8
Holmberg 0/634/16 had the tougher assignments (ie. Barkov) but 91/88 had the burden of playing a lot of minutes with Holmberg.
That’s a hard pass for me. Can’t be paying a guy 15% of the cap to disappear when the games mean something*
*Yes, I understand we’re paying 2 other players that kind of money to have the same results, but what’s done is done. -WHIPPER
Really? Because that’s factually inaccurate. Marner helped win 2 out of the 3 games against Florida, one with a GWG and the other with a primary assist in Game 6 for the GWG. Matthews had a GWG in Game 6. Knies had a GWG too. It was actually Tavares and Nylander who did next to nothing when the games mattered. And they were on the ice for A LOT of goals against. More than any other forward. Those are the real guys who disappeared.
So…your argument doesn’t hold water.
You’re also unlikely to find guys who actually want to come to Toronto who will be better than Marner for that 15% cap hit.
At least in the scenario where you sign Marner and trade Nylander, you get something in return for Nylander. It’s basic asset management.
Luckily, if they dump Tavares and Rielly, they can keep both, which would be the best course of action.
