Good. The leafs had too many top six guys anyways and not enough character. The end. They had to give up the star that didn’t match the new coach and they did. Berube’s game is north/south skating and/or physical play, Marner is neither. Best of luck to him but he no longer fit what the team wants to do.[/quote]
By all accounts, Berube loved him. Whether true or not…dunno….but he’s spoken well of him even in some podcast.
Marner fit fine with the leafs and Berube its just his game with Matthews, didnt translate well in the playoffs.
Even with Marner, the team was missing one top 6 winger….Domi isnt a full time top 6.Now…they could be missing technically “two” depending how Maccelli does. I think he will be fine in the top 6, either 1st or 2nd line….so that leaves us missing one top 6 winger. Domi still not it on a full time basis. Maybe he changes that this year….we’ll see.
Could Cowan play the 2nd line?
We’ll see.
We’re now one top 6 (outside of Domi) injury (mid to long term) away from a “Meh” line up.Marner’s former security guy is apparently going off on social media at anyone who has anyone negative to say about Mitch. lol
Sounds like it’s not the first time either as Steve Dangle (love him or hate him – yes many hate him) has revealed an alleged message he got back in 2021 from this same security guard.
I’m just laughing at the whole thing at this point but can’t figure out why Marner keeps agreeing to do interviews and talk about this stuff if he really wants to move on perhaps moving on from the divorce tour where he wants to paint Toronto and it’s fan base and media as the worst and why he’s gone. If he (his camp) were smart they would have stuck to the boring old “it was time to try something / somewhere new” thing and left it at that until it calmed down but they are going in the opposite direction and IMO all they are doing is tarnishing Marner’s reputation and legacy as a Leaf.
This is the link to Dangle telling the story of the message he got allegedly from Marner’s head of security (hoping it works):
I think Marner wants closure and closure with the media.
Its Toronto, its Marner, he was with the leafs for 9 years. These interviews are going to happen…..he’s just not very good at giving them.
Anywho.
Moving on….lets go whatever 2nd to mostly 3rd liners we got with Marners money!
They didnt win anything with him….so it cant be too much worse.
Go Leafs Go!Leafs have $1.9m in cap space, I think the plan was to get it for TDL. But the leafs really dont really have any picks of huge value….so we’ll see how that works out.
Picks
2026 – 3rd, 5th and 6th – Yikes
2027 – 2nd, 4th, 5th, 6th (2), 7th
2028 – 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 6th, 7thThe leafs really need to keep the 2028 1st rounder to at least draft some potential higher end talent.
Yes, super duper free for a tyrannical government, non-citizens and criminals to do whatever the fuck they want.
You haven’t got a fucking clue what actual freedom is or means.[/quote]
You haven’t gotten a clue about most things…specially what a “tyrannical government” is (see north korea, Iran, Zimbabwe, and the US is getting close).
You are not being oppressed. You seriously need a reality check, you whinny little boy.
Last i checked, criminals cant do whatever they want…..and of course…you are afraid of non white people.Im free to do whatever I want and go wherever I want…oh my gawd I had to wear a mask for a month or so while grocery shopping…..OOHH THE HORROR!!!
You already live in one.[/quote]
Not even you weasel.
Canada continues to be one of top 3 free countries and best places to live in the wotld.
Once you move out of your moms basement, you can move to the dictatorship down south with less freedoms
Just read an article about the Habs and how they are currently 6M over the cap and will be trading Carey Price’s contract to San Jose to free up cap space. Nice to read about a team in ‘cap hell’ that isn’t the Leafs lol.
Article posted below as every time I try to insert it into a post here it doesn’t seem to work.
But, not really cap hell if they are trading the contract away and getting out from under it.
Hoping it cost them a pretty penny.Just came back from the States, near Cornwall. Pretty much devoid of Canadians going stateside. I’ve been across a couple of other Canadian/U.S. border crossings recently, and the same thing. It’s a great time to go stateside. Hotels are cheap, because there’s no Canadian’s staying and restaurants are not busy. Some decent deals to be had and I don’t have to look at the Elbows Up clowns that seem to be everywhere in Woke City Canada, Kingston. I’m just glad that Hockey is soon becoming relevant once again. Blue Jays are trending into collapse mode with the Jordan Romano disease being spread around in the bullpen. Let’s go Bills![/quote]
Not interested in going to a garbage 2nd world country with many restricted freedoms.
I also see you are one those who continue to misuse “woke”.Ya the Jays seem to be falling apart…..its a Toronto sports thing.
On this one, you are like Dan Denkinger calling someone safe at first base. There is no defending this pathetic sympathy play by Marner. He signed with Vegas and wanted to move on. If you ask me, he’s doing a pretty bad job of moving on.[/quote]
It seems like TSN set up the interview, no? With the T.O media being what it is, expect more click bait pieces this season when they play eachother, or if the leafs arent doing well or if Marner is doing well.
But just ignore them instead of playing into it.
For someone who said he wanted to move on and start a new chapter of his career with the Vegas Golden Knights, former Leaf Mitch Marner seems intent o[See the full post at: Marner’s PR Spin Is As Pathetic As His Playoff Performances]
He says his wife was 7 months prego, didnt want to move her etc.
Meh, if true, that’s understandable. If not, who cares. His life, his choice
Its September, why are peeps still whining about him?
Move on. Screw him, hope he sucks in vegas. (Im sure he’ll be great in the reg season).
We still have Matthews to watch choke in the playoffs, like he has most of the past 9 years. So we’re good.Deal with Apple was negotiated by MLB, not Rogers
Pretty sure his point was the Rogers rate hike combined with less content, regardless of who negotiated the apple deal. End of the day Roger’s owns the team and will get money from such a deal, while fans pay more for sportsnet while getting less, then have to pay for apple TV to watch the games. End of the day, fans lose twice in this scenario.[/quote]
Welcome to capitalism, corporations get richer for charging more for less.
I was just reading a mock trade proposition for the Leafs and Vegas ….
Carlo for Karlsson, a 1 for 1 trade.
I say no way jose.
Leafs will need their Dmen after Rielly is traded. eh!!!ps. I don’t think Rielly will be traded anytime soon.
Carlo is really our only mid- high quality Dman under 30. Cant trade him.
I was hoping Karlsson would have been dumped to us for Marner.
But we cant trade out a quality Dman while still having morgan on the team
Our D is getting pretty old.
So pass.Let’s not Leaf the Jays boys. Who cares about contracts and AAV. Let’s talk performance and line ups and stories. Like Manoah Yesavage and Beiber starting next 3 bison games. Hyped for it to see what happens and how they can potentially help the team down the stretch. Unfortunately Manoah pooped the bed today but still eager to see how the other two do the next couple of days. Definitely reason to be excited as a Jays fan with reinforcements on the way to the pitching staff.
The Jays have been a great surprise this season and hopefully still have some things up their sleeves.
Nice to see Vlad finally clutch.
Vlad <> Matthews – In TO for entire Career
Bichette <> Marner – Leave as UFAVlad <> Matthews – both no shows when it counts.
So far.
Hope that changes
