You should at least attempt to do research before you say stupid shit like that.
Stupid shit eh, honestly if anyone would know about saying stupid shit it’s you.
Seriously, are you that blinded by your hate for JT and raging that the Leafs would be so wrong to bring him back that you have to be an an absolute knob to anyone who dares not agree with your opinion? I would think by now you would be used to people not agreeing with all your super hot takes and video game mode trade proposals.
You posted stats about 2 players with zero context other than “playoff points / goals” which was intentionally misleading since one guy has played 128 playoff games and the other 75 and when that fact is pointed out to you this is how you react?
For the record I didn’t see ANYONE say JT was a better playoff performer (I sure as hell didn’t), I provided context to your post that was missing important information – had you posted it initially instead of trying to spin a narrative by intentionally omitting it we wouldn’t be having this conversation.
Here are some more facts that may hurt your feelings:
JT HAS in fact played 75 career playoff games https://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=89823
Tyler Johnson was the playoff goal and point leader in 2015, he also led in even strength goals, Game Winning goals and goals created in those playoffs.
Tampa had Ben Bishop in net who had the most shutouts in the playoffs, a .921 Save % and a 2.18 GAA.
Maybe it’s you who should do research before posting ‘stupid shit’ or post the entire set of data and not just cherry pick what helps support your opinion and purposely omit what doesn’t but should be considered.
The only person screaming about JT is you, it’s quite probable that JT will be back, you may want to look to accept that fact while considering that facts don’t care about your feelings.
Thinking that not bringing a guy back for 3-5M is the major change that’s needed vs not paying a winger 13M or more and yet again putting the Leafs into a cap situation where they simply can’t build the balanced roster that the true, like the elite teams in this league have right now is incredibly short sighted.
I’m done with this debate – sorry / not sorry to have spoiled your narrative with facts.
Stamkos has played 128 career playoff games many of them with stacked Tampa teams.
JT has played 75 with the Islanders and Leafs.

I wonder how long until we here something about Marner and JT?
I feel like the JT situation will be all tied up and done well in advance of the Marner one as it’s a fair bit simpler assuming he takes a hometown discount to stay and retire a Leaf – which I think he will.
Maybe email the site owners. We don’t want this site becoming the other place – a wild wild west with no moderation that slowly turns into a full-blown “Nazi Bar”.
Edit : a report post button would be nice. And one that actually works, unlike the HB report post function.
Agreed.
Fun fact – the report a post button on HB didn’t work for a long time, when I was a mod there it didn’t work properly and then not at all. lol
Keep killing threads Rob. You have now killed two separate sites, but anyone paying attention knows this is what you`re up to. Mad at HB because you were stripped of your moderator status.
Also, it SPELLED not SPELT, dumbass.- AA, Tankooki, Horsey Sauce pretending to be Big23Questions
Hey Einstein,
Considering you chose to use UK slang to throw an insult at me you should know that Spelt is in fact the UK version of Spelled.
The fact you clearly do not doesn’t surprise me, it’s just you once again showing everyone what a hypocritical servile wobbler you are.
So I’ve seen it heavily suggested that Carolina is going in, as are Vegas. I think it’s a lot harder for Vegas because they would need to move pieces – pieces they have won with – out in order to afford Marner (like Karlsson or a Barbashev) – or possibly Hertl. I’ve also seen it suggested that Marner isn’t what Carolina needs and they know it – but they were willing to flip Rantanen for him.
The other names you hear a lot are LA and Utah. Lifestyle-wise, LA is cool and all – but I guess now that’s he’s a relatively newlywed with a newborn, they’d need to decide on what type of lifestyle they want. There are a lot of US markets that would offer a lot more anonymity and lot less vitriol than Toronto.
But with a young child, I’d imagine proximity to family is important to both. You may have money, but being cooped up in airplanes for hours on end all the time is exhausting.
It might be the lure to keep him on the east coast. You don’t hear a lot about the Rangers, likely because of their NMCs – but Drury has shown a real compunction to tell people to F-Off and want to get rid of them, so who knows?
I think if I were gambling, I’d lay odds on Carolina because of the east coast relationship. My dark horse would be Chicago because getting Bedard someone like Marner to play with would send a message that’s loud and clear.
That said, your point about San Jose is decent – but I think I’d be fearful that in 2 years I’m re-upping Celebrini, Smith Eklund and a few others (that won’t command nearly as much), but I don’t know if I want to invest 15% of my cap in a guy who will be 31 when I’m resigning Celebrini – and will be setting the bar for the contracts on the team. – Monkey Puck
Good points on what Vegas would need to give up to clear the cap space to be able to sign Marner. I think almost if not every team in the NHL would want him on their team but that’s the issue or question – what do they have to sacrifice to be able to fit him in financially (we know this is very likely the situation in Toronto for instance).
Also good point on proximity to family and LA is quite a ways away but again off seasons in Muskoka and being on the road during the season as much as he is already maybe the change isn’t THAT drastic?
I don’t see the Rangers because the pressure there although less that Toronto is still pretty intense as is the media scrutiny. You could be right on Carolina and I said this before a Marner / Bedard combo would be pretty wild and impressive. Who knows a dark horse may come and get him and shock us all or he may end up staying in Toronto and shock almost the entire world at this point.
I guess we will see – is is July yet!?
Shhhhh the grownups are talking. Kim Jong Cush
Well you`re certainly not one of those Rob, so shut the fuck up, you Pillock. Your obsession with Marner is ghay and weird. Yep, that checks out.
Also, Twatwaffle? Really? That`s over 20 years old just like the Felica reference. Are you capable of ever coming up with something fresh?
No, it will just be another absurdly pusillanimous response. – Twat Waffle Supreme – Big 23 Questions Imposter and now confirmed AA, Tanooki, Horsey Sauce
LMAO you are so rattled you just went off and blew your cover Donnie Brasco way to go!
Good to see you are using a Thesaurus though, despite your constant need to Kyoodle here and over at HB.
Did you seriously just try to say I’m gay (sorry ghay as you so maturely spelt it) and use it as an insult inside of a childish rant after I told you to hush up while the adults talk?
I would hope you see the humour and hypocrisy in that but I doubt you do, just like you thinking using it as an insult in 2025 is anywhere near appropriate or acceptable.
It’s funny yet sad considering how often you are on HB preaching at people posturing as being a great person with tremendous virtue and integrity – clearly that’s not the case.
As I said before just hush up and let the adults talk hockey, I’m done engaging with you.
If that’s what he truly wants, why not sign back with the Leafs for $10M? MVP Whipper
I think all of Leafs nation would be overjoyed for him to take a 1M pay cut to re-sign but that ain’t happening. lol
well, I hope Lalonde has good thing to say about the Leafs now.
Right? He did have some as the series went on but I felt like it was far outweighed by the negative. It’ll be interesting now to see if his great insight into all the things wrong are fixed since he now technically owns some of the responsibility of trying to fix them.
