Im so sick of the JT slander. Sure he’s not worth his contract anymore but he took a paycut to come here as a super star. Swallow the contract for one more year and let him take another pay cut to be 3C or 2LW
oryes
Dude there’s nothing we can do about JT, this fanbase just needs to accept that.
funghi2
I want JT. Just for less money, much less

I agree with this actually. We need rebuild around Matthews and nylander. Wouldn’t mind seeing Reilly gtfo too. He’s been here from the start of all these heartbreaking first round eliminations.

I really, really hate that the leafs did their best when Matthews wasn’t on the ice the series, because that’s just gonna lead to an entire off-season of fans of other teams and hometown tinfoil hat lunatics talking about how the leaf should get rid of him.

I’ll never understand the jt hate

Maybe, but Marner on another team comes in to play Toronto. I’ve seen lesser lights destroy them. That might be scary.

JT doesn’t deserve the slack he gets, he needs to be on this team.
Just look at how many game winning goals this guy has, AND he steps up when Matthews is out of the lineup.
He wants to be in TO and he wants to win.
Maybe he needs a smaller contract, now that he’s older, but to say he’s got to go is dumb.
Marner on the other hand…. he disappears every playoffs, and likely isn’t nearly as effective without playing with Matthews.
I haven’t seen anything that makes me think he needs to stay, unfortunately.

Only reason to even keep marner is so he can pop off regular season so we can make it to playoff. Then bench him, cause he’s always slacking in playoffs

JT is fine. Get him with a cheaper contract once this ends.
As much as it sucks, replace Marner with… something, just get some value from him while he is worth something. Get a goalie that is comfortable with stress. No more Campbells, Andersens or Samsonovs, while they had extremely good upsides, the downsides once it goes to shit is just not acceptable. Or if you can make Woll ready for next season, try to ride him as main. Can’t hurt to try.
Just effing do something. Major. No more small moves to try to fix this current shitshow. It just ain’t working.

I kinda understood the hate for marner, BUT he is a serious play maker.
He’s as good if not better all around then Nylander.
The leafs need to keep his whining in check. He and Nylander are not corner guys. They won’t lay big checks. But without him we would easily lose a lot of goals. I’d wager 50 goals would be lost with him not on the team

JT can comeback on a mark giordano/team friendly type deal.
Inevitable_Pickle420
JT can stay. Guy has a year left, not getting rid of him without giving up more in the process. But Shanny and Keefe can be shot into space, and Marner can make like a god and become non-existent elsewhere.

Holy crap. OP doesn’t know hockey… Hell, maybe even sports.
This is arguably the best we’ve ever played in the playoffs (game 5+). We were riddled with injuries to multiple top players.
Leaf players (except maybe Marner) turned a corner. Everyone was banging, hitting and grinding. Never seen this team do that before. It’s about time.
NOW this team actually learned and knows what it takes.
And NOW you want to start completely over?!
We played a team that was better than us all year, and beat us handedly all regular season.
Sometimes you play great, and just get beat. That happens. It sucks. But this isn’t the same as other years.
Fire Keefe. Change the system we run. See what these guys can really do.
Why trade/fire/kill the best Leafs all of us have ever seen.
bobsterthefour
None of the core four are taking a hit to play here, so the question is – are they worth $40 million/over 48% of the team’s cap?
Temporary_Bus_1346
0-5 in Game 7s BTW. 0 goals. He can go too.

As a life long Leafs fan. This year was different for me. Didn’t hurt didn’t piss me off. I just didn’t care. I shut the game off after the third and went to bed. Got a great sleep and got up and went turkey hunting. Saw the score while having my coffee and went on with my day. I love the Leafs. But I’m done caring. I’ll continue to support them watch them. But emotionally I’m checked out. The “core” doesn’t have the fire or heart to win. Or Maybe they don’t have the coach to light that fire? Either way I Guess my fire for the leafs is nothing more than smoking embers these days. GoLeafsGoOrNotWhatever.

Tavares is still a good hockey player. Marner is just a complete letdown

Shit take.

Yall want Matthews to stay when he’s done zip every post season!? Trade him and Marner for an entire new team
Wiamly
Marner is a fucking good player who is just not worth his contract.
ElongatedMusk999
Nylander better not get traded
Bcselectricservice
I love our team,salary cap is tough. But I wouldn’t want woll/tavares. Team is great. You have to make the playoffs first. No way woll gets you there, but obviously the rest of team does. Keefe has had a great hand dealt but can’t figure it out. So I vote coaching staff out. But shanahan stays id like to see one more year with guaranteed contracts in hand. Yes that means and more sad year
