Participant<em>One year he had 99 points in 80 games. Marner is a 100 point player, and has scored at that point per game pace for 5 years in a row. His career average is 1.12 points per game which is 92 points per 82 games AVERAGE.
Yes, 1 year he achieved 100pts, others he may have, had he not been injured…either way your original statement wasnt a thing.
Keep trying.You’re the first one to contradict yourself on point per game pace with this statement…
No contradiction at all, Tkafack did achieve 100pts twice and was on pace to another year…but didnt.
Keep up.Fucking clueless libtard communist, as usual. The only dollar going down the shitter is the garbage Canadian dollar and the garbage Canadian economy. Keep being a blind sheep.
With each nonsensical reply you post, you keep proving how clueless you are. You still have no clue what communism is. The Canadian economy isnt “garbage”, the GDP grew, inflation is down and one of lowest in the G7, household spending is up, trade barriers between most provinces are beginning to lift. Tariffs and subsequent unemployment are a concern of course, but had the orangerapist not F’d with the global economy, unemployment was slowly getting better.
Canada’s quality of life and freedom rating is much higher than the US.But grrrrrmeow, libtards….grrrrrrmeow….UG is a sheep with a little kitten growl…..

E. Kane is being trade to the Canucks ????
I was hoping the Leafs could snag himMy bad, dmnted beat me to it!
Apparently its for a mid round pick

Blame the city and the country they live in with their absurdly high taxes. Players and their agents don’t give a fuck what the cap hit is.No magasheep, blame the player and the GM.
Tax the millionaires as they should be.
Also, they earn american and spend in Canadian in the city/country, so big savings for them…..until their dollar goes in the crapper like their economy.Lawsie

if JT was getting money from another contract, the leafs and JT would still be “wide apart”, thats how it works …Sensie
Truth. Are you saying that if JT is getting an allowance from his mom the Leafs won’t get a discount?!
Seriously though …..Duchene at 4.5M in Dallas gets to shove ~2.9M in his pocket every year. Leafs will have to go ~$6M x 4 for JT to do the same.
Also ..I’m sure Tree is pointing out Nelson is a year younger (and will age/skate better) then JT so that 7.5M comp needs to be viewed accordingly. Fine, you’re a year older so maybe 7.5M x 2 is the comp ..now stick 3 years on the end at $4M, $1M, and $1M …and now you get that down to $21M over 5 yrs. Maybe you have to bump it a bit to account for tax differences.My limits for JT would be something like …
5×4.6 (8,8,4,2,1)
4×5.5 (8,8,4,2)
3×6.3 (7.5,7.5,4)$6m over 4 years is the highest I would go…maybe 5 x 5….but I’d prefer 4 years max. Its the leafs, so they’ll have to do 5 years.
$7m per is simply too high….I feel the same with Marchand….$8m per would be a waste of Marner’s cap.
As I mentioned in the other blog…stack the D
“I think P Kane stays in Detroit, but he would be a great add.
Get some depth in the bottom 6…add Tanev, P Suter
Grab some 1 year contract peeps
Sign Ekblad
Keep Morgan (probably no choice) and load up on D
Sign P Kane, tanev, P suter, and 1 year deals, bring up cowan
On D have:
Ekblad and Carlo/Tanev?
Mccabe and Tanev/Carlo
Rielly and OEL
Benoit.
Shelter Rielly, boost his confidence and trade value.
Trade him next off season.This allows the team to rest Tanev and OEL more often and really stacks our D for once.”

sure, but he certainly could have gotten more regardlessSure I guess. But its easier to make a deal when you are already pulling in $2.5- 3m per year without a contract.
Also, I dont believe Dallas has high taxes.
In JT’s situation, he has to agree to a deal thats competitive to what he could get on the open market while also making sure the structure doesnt get him into tax trouble again.
The leafs also have Marner and knies to deal with as well.So a little more complicated I guess.
Im sure the leafs will overpay whoever they sign in the 2 weeks
All in good time.

Chris Johnston mentioned that the Leafs may pivot to Mikael Granlund, for example, if Tavares walks.CJ added the Leafs and Tavares are still “wide apart” on money. If the Leafs go long-term, that might help bridge the gap, but neither side is there yet. Both sides understand they’ll have to move, and with a week before July 1st, Tavares is still more likely to re-sign than not.
another problem is, if they dont sign Tavares… they could pivot to a worse player.
it always seems like other teams get an quick easy deal done… 80 point player Duchene signs for a ham sandwich and bottle of rum, Leafs and JT are far apart .. same ol stuff
I believe Duchene is also getting paid by Nashville for the next 4 years…another $2.5m per. So he’s gonna make about $7m per season in total.

Marner scored 35 goals one season and 30 in another. In no other season has he scored 30 or more in his 10 years in Toronto.Making up things, moving goal posts or just continually saying things that are inaccurate (like pretending Marner’s ‘primary assist’ on Matthews GWG was anything special at all or his GWG wasn’t just a seeing eye muffin and instead pretending like these were highly skilled, dominating plays) over and over again doesn’t make them the truth.
Let’s not forget the fact that the back to back cup champs don’t have a single player with more than 39 goals or 81 points on their roster. That is something to keep repeating over and over again as it simply proves beyond a doubt that you don’t need a 50 goal scorer, nor a 100 point overpaid winger to win the cup, what you do need is a balanced roster and a good system and coaching.
The Leafs don’t need to worry about ‘replacing’ Marner’s offense they have enough without him.
His PK can be replaced at a fraction of the cost with a defensive specialist.
They need a better balanced roster and Marner’s departure will allow them to do just that if Tre makes moves that work out.Marner is a great regular season player, just like matthews. But neither show up in games 5- 7 in the playoffs…..specially marner. I’ll miss marner, but you just cant pay another player $13 + who doesnt show up when it counts….we already have one of those.
As for the 100pts thing, Tkafack has scored 100pts twice and was playing at a 1.09 ppg pace when he got injured…so they could have had a 95 – 100pt player this year…..and having someone who can score 90 to 100pts should be a great have IF they keep a consistent pace in the playoffs. Meaning, I know ppg will be down for most in the playoffs, but it shouldnt have huge drops in games 5- 7….like it doesn for Marner and to a certain extent Matthews.
Fully agree, we need a more balance roster….balance cap wise and balance with player type.
My concern is, I dont know if Tre is the guy to provide that balance….or even if the Leafs can get that balance from what’s in FA or via trade (As they have no real trade assets).
Bennett isnt happening.
Paying a 37 years marchand $8 over 4 years is absolutely horrible and doesnt balance the roster at all.
I think P Kane stays in Detroit, but he would be a great add.

WHAT!!
The Rangers will send the 12th overall pick to Pittsburgh to complete the JT miller.
The pens now select 11th and 12th. Not bad.Guess the rangers want the ability to use their 2026 first rounder in trade this upcoming season.
According to a TSN article.

Laughton is NOT dog poop.
Only Leafs haters and Flyers fans would say that.He’s a meh 4th liner, definitely not worth the 1st and B prospect the leafs gave up for him.
Horrible trade.

While Marchand went for a conditional 2nd round pick.Yes, but Marchand said he was only going to one team…so that impacts what the bruins got back for him.

If they don’t trade Marner’s rights are you going to be mad when they say “they tried” as you requested here?Also, for the record, Marchment has a 10 team no trade list. How do you know the leafs weren’t on it?
In addition, considering how many people talk about Marchment as the prototypical “power forward” the leafs need (which any team would need) he went for a paltry trade of mid picks. Let’s not overblow this guy’s abilities.I hope we hear of the Knies and JT signings soon though!
Dallas had to dump salary, they werent getting full value for him in a trade….so it impacted what they got.

Sorry, zero faith in Matthews.
He has been as bad, or worse, than Marner in the playoffs. How he gets a free pass, year after year is ridiculous.Cause he’s a center that use to score a lot….just not a lot in the playoffs.

“Why does that matter? He’s scored 100 points per 82 games 5 years in a row.”Sorry, this isnt a thing.
Points for everyone is measured by the season, not by some random 82 game chunk.
Marner hasnt played a full 82 game season since 2017
He’s only ever hit 100pts ONCE in a season….sure he had seasons where he was on pace for more than 100pts…..but the reality is….he didnt finish with 100pts.
