The issue isn’t Marner specifically, it’s roster composition dummy.
This team aside from too much cash in forwards, is that those forwards ALL PLAY THE SAME WAY – Soft and weak come man-up hockey. When physicality goes up, stripes whistle less, and time/space are removed – these players fold. That’s the issue.
If that really was the problem dumbass, then you sign Marner and trade Nylander. Nylander is the definition one-dimensional winger who can’t play defense, kill penalties or play vs top lines. If you want to talk about soft and weak, Nylander is the poster boy for soft, weak hockey. And this year, he didn’t even show up vs. Florida after Game 3. Total disappearing act. He played well against Ottawa’s 2nd and 3rd lines but Florida made him look like the bitch he is.
Tavares, Jarnkrok, Kampf and Rielly, are also soft, weak, terrible defensive players. The problem isn’t Marner, the problem is the rest of the garbage players idiots like you and management refuse to get rid of.
Personally, I’d keep both Nylander and Marner, but if the problem was “too much of the same thing”, then Nylander would logically be the one who gets traded and Marner would be re-signed because Marner is better than Nylander.
There is nobody on the UFA market that will sign in Toronto that is better than Marner or cheaper and willing to play in this tire fire franchise or market. The Leafs will have more money to spend on more garbage, like they always do.
So like 12 years oh Matthews and then a rebuild. yeah that makes total sense. if they havent won in 12 years, Rebuild is fine
Ovechkin took 13 years to win the Cup. Yzerman took 14.
Perfectly Leafy that the Leafs would start the blow up of the team prematurely.
yeah keep dreaming. he ain’t going anywhere for now.
Unless Vancouver trades Hughes to NJD, then I could possibly see a 3 way deal involving Rielly with possibility of Hamilton going to the Leafs.Hughes will not stay in Vancouver long term. And I don’t blame him. One of the worst places in North America to live and he wants to play with his brothers.
They’re going to need Rielly, home town boy, to replace part of his production.
Rielly to Vancouver or Seattle can be done, just a matter of the Leafs actually having the balls to push Rielly out the door.
Doubt very much New Jersey would trade Hamilton to Toronto, don’t think they could afford to fit him anyway.
As per Frank Seravalli, Marner’s family are in Vegas looking at houses. This would be a good landing spot for him. However, there are many on this team who know what it takes to win, and Marner might get a rude awakening from his teamates when he tries to coast through the playoffs as is his habit. I don’t think proven winners would just sit back and watch him coast, they would lay into him hard. Perhaps this is exactly what he needs.
Marner is going to look even better than Kadri did holding that Cup over his head while Leafs fans make excuses for the idiots that run this team and the morons who support the bad decisions.
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.
Brainwashed libtard. Barely any growth in the last 10 years, less than 2% over TEN YEARS, worst GDP in G7. Worst standard of living decline in 40 years.
freedom rating is much higher than the US.
More Freedom? Maybe more freedom for criminals and non-citizens.
Only more garbage coming. Elbows down, knee pads on for you FakeChange.
We’ll see what happens but there will be an adjustment period that’s likely going to suck for sure.
That adjustment period will be the remainder of Matthews’ contract and when he walks for nothing as a UFA, this team will be thrown into full rebuild.
Nylander will become Kessel 2.0, all by himself with no hope in hell of carrying the team, he’ll get frustrated with being on a garbage team, will request a trade and the full rebuild will be on the road for the next 5-7 years.
This is the beginning of the end for this era and the Leafs threw it away.
I see someone still “forgets” to respond when he’s proven wrong.
Hasn’t happened with any of these garbage arguments presented yet.
They need a better balanced roster and Marner’s departure will allow them to do just that if Tre makes moves that work out.
Make sure you start holding your breath now until that happens.
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.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.
You’re the first one to contradict yourself on point per game pace with this statement…
As for the 100pts thing, Tkafack has scored 100pts twice and was playing at a 1.09 ppg pace when he got injured
Dumbass.
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 economyFucking 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.
E. Kane is being trade to the Canucks ????
I was hoping the Leafs could snag himEvander Kane sucks ass at that cap hit. He missed the entire season and that’s probably the only reason he was decent in the playoffs. His body has been through a lot of damage. He’s not worth that cap hit anymore.
Leafs dodged a bullet. But if Canucks are willing to take shit players so Morgan Rielly to Vancouver can happen.
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.
I’ll repeat these facts, again and again…
McDavid had 1 goal vs the Panthers this year. Kucherov, two years in a row vs the Panthers, 0 goals. The Panthers have been THAT GOOD at shutting down the absolute elite of elite players.
And the Leafs still took them to Game 7. Won 3 games because of the 1st line, Knies, Matthews and Marner, 1 GWG each.
Ovechkin has made it beyond the 2nd round ONCE in his entire career. Same goes for MacKinnon. The greatest goal scorer to ever live, Ovechkin, has ONE Cup and it took him 13 years to get it.
Winning a Cup is the most difficult team trophy to win in sports for a reason. It’s been many years of failure for the Leafs, as individuals and as a team but their window will only shut if they close it on themselves by giving up on the best players they’ve had in 58 years and not giving them the correct supporting cast.
