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.
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.
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.Cush29

Can anyone see the image I posted above? I can’t seem to post images here at all regardless of if I try it on my phone or pc.If not I got banned too.
For posting this: Ek posting a Mc Jesus to LA rumour the day after the Oilers lose in the cup finals seems a bit cruel.
Banned until Sept 16th lmao.
That was a joke that clearly someone didn’t find funny….how sad.
WTF…you got banned for that?
I swear, someone made AA a mod and he’s drunk with power. LOL
But honestly, I was going to call out that rumour as well with roll eyes emoji or something like that….but I thought I would get banned. But instead I got banned for “Frank Maurice.”
