From what I heard on the radio (so take it with a grain of salt), MLSE wanted to get a deal done before the trade deadline. Marner’s camp said they weren’t talking new contracts until after the season, so MLSE felt they needed to protect themselves by trading him. – Wedgie
It’s plausible, but not sure it makes a whole lot of sense.
If the leafs knew this all long, and were concerned, they could have found a trade, even a decent trade, for him. It is not like teams aren’t interested. They were not necessarily up against the deadline.

It’s a tough line to be sarcastic enough and not piss off some fans that might think you are serious 😆
– Symba007Wedgie was the Master at that.
A couple times a year he would suck people into believing his schtick about trading away young talent to get some experienced vets on the team for leadership. It got a few people, every time 😆
That Pettersson (sp?) contract looks horrible. -Aetherial
The bright side is that tonight’s game is a win/win
If they win, I suppose we can be excited about a game 7 at home.
If they lose, we can all just stop thinking about it and enjoy the rest of the playoffs, or go do something else.The past fews years, Leafs eliminated day has been a huge relief.
My uneducated guess is that management asking him to waive his NTC changed everything – the organization has no loyalty to him, so why should he feel any loyalty to MLSE? -Wedgie
He shouldn’t.
I think those days are mostly gone in sports.
Until I hear otherwise, I strongly believe that Matthews is hurt. -Wedgie
It looks that way. It also looks like Marner has decided to leave at the end of the season.
The problem with those theories is that they don’t explain the same apparent lack of any heart, pushback, desire or pride that we have seen for what, 8? 9? years now.
I wont be watching the game but Marner and matthews have an opportunity to change the narrative around them.
If the leafs lose, get rid of both. -FakeThere is talk that Marner has already decided to leave and Matthews is injured and that explains their poor play. Who knows whether either is true. The problem with those theories is that they ignore the absymal playoff performance of those two for many years now.
I would not have believed Marner would walk for nothing, until recently. It would surprise no one if he decided he was done with the circus and the failure and wanted a new start.
I wouldn’t be disappointed to see them both gone and Rielly. I don’t really care about how good the team is at this point. I am sick of the annual slap in the face to the fans.
Mogilny is my fave player of all time.
Besides that, My favourite Leaf would have to be Sundin, although Tucker was a crazy SOB that I wish we had now.
Jesus, nobody is in the ballpark with Wedgie, although I do wonder why he want to watch furries play sports?

Final weekend in Boston vs. the Jays for the penant (Jay lost)
I was at the game where Winfield hit the seagull. Only people who were there will know what Winfield did the next inning.
EDIT: forgot, a few Toronto Blizzard and Toronto Toros games
I said to myself if Carney wins, I’d be ok with a Leaf loss. Can’t have it all. Elbows Up. -CC
It’s a fair trade… but every day the news in the US tips it to the side of neverending bullshit and disappointment.
First playoff game in Leafs’ history where I have seriously considered leaving after two.
Kids want to stay.
Honestly?
I’d prefer to bail. – Wedgie
Understandable.
Easier at home when you can just turn it off.Trade matthews, get picks and a decent gritty center.
Get rid of Morgan for whatever lint a team can muster up.
Offer Marner $12 no more…if he wants more let him walk.
Sorry JT. Bye. – FakeThis would be my direction also.
