He’s a great player there’s no denying that but I don’t care for a smug attitude
Mitch Marner has two paths:
1) He has a good playoffs and stays at a reasonable contract. It is likely he sees his number retired.
2) He has good playoffs & tries to fleece the Leafs, or he has a bad playoffs (again) and still asks for that money. He’ll be one of the biggest villains in his hometown and there is no chance he should be honoured for his time as a Leaf.
Ultimately, he needs to figure out if the extra 1.5M/year is worth being a villain in his hometown forever.
He wasn’t almost swapped. Carolina decided to tamper with Marner before they made the deal with Dallas by asking for him to waive his NTC – knowing the leafs would have to ask him. He is going to walk for nothing – last years playoff exit and blame game guaranted that
Finally someone is talking about the real issues that matter.
My Avs are looking great!
In a league with a hard cap, it is impossible to win with a "top heavy" roster. Having depth is the only way to make a deep run. Every single playoffs, the opponents just had to neutralize #34 & #16 because the team has no other depth scoring to worry about. Mitch is an exceptional player, but this team doesn't need 2 RW making over $11M. They need to use that money to fill other important positions like a 2C or a 2LW.
8 years is more than enough to know it hasn't worked and it never will. Let him walk, don't re-sign.
Thats bullshit that it's out of 2 sides. Guy doesn't want to hear he not as good as Mathews, so we'll see how it unfold. No guarantee you even want him if he doesn't perform in the Playoffs.
Hey can we get you cheap now? No if you want me cheap, hope I choke in the playoffs. Otherwise respect me, pay me. This is Mitch saying lets nut up or shut up.
whats crazy is that maple leafs have been so dominant in the regular season since like 2016 and only made the semi finals once. they are running out of time with mathews
Marner is not going anywhere!!! You guys are out to lunch!!! I'd get rid of the yankee doodle dandy (Matthews) before him!!! Not a Captain! Useless!
Thank god Marner is gone!!!!!
It would be funny if the sharks or Hawks pick up Mitch! 😂😂
His agent is notorious for walking his guys directly to free agency… the only return the Leafs are gonna get is cap space back.
Marner doesn't earn to win cup in ml jersey.
Let the guy walk and go cash in elsewhere.
Imo you guys are better off without him and his dad.
Mitch will never get any respect, he is a true leaf. Why didn't your God Auston Matthews only sign a five-year deal? Sorry leaf nation he is gone deal with it. So is Willy btw. So if Mitch walks which he should do looks good on you pathetic fools. Thos guy does more on defense and makes more plays than your previous Matthews. You deserve your misery
This type of talent is sickening to hear people want to trade. We cried as fans for talent and we have it. Now ya wanted it gone because they all sucked in the playoffs for a few years. They were kids then, TORO TO WILL LIVE TO REGRET THIS REMI DA ME OF A PISSED OFF HAROLD BALLARD TRADI G LANNY MCDONALD TI PISS SITLER OFF. This is NOT GONNA GO WELL FOR LEAF FANS TO TRADE MITCH. THE LEAGUE WOULD BE LAUGHING AT TORONTO.
Great video, Jesse! All your points are valid, you covered it all in 12 minutes. Does anyone think that Mitch really wants to stay a Leaf at this point?? I wouldn't be surprised if he gets booed at the next home game. I think he's a great player and has showed his talents on many occasions, but it seems that he's not comfortable in a Core Four environment. Let him get his $14M and be THE STAR on another team, and see how that transpires. Good luck to him, no ill will whatsoever. Let's get it over with.
It's way better for Mitch to not get into to it, if he says we've been talking about deals, then the media gest involved and it's a big distraction and he gets pressured to taking less, because he wants to stay. One things for sure, he's going to make alot of money next season.
I hope everyone is ready for the Leafs to make their biggest mistake in history. After our first round exit this year they'll lose Marner and keep Auston. Marner is not the problem with this team it's Matthews and I feel like I'm the only one who can see that
Leave Mitch alone, if your a leaf fan, you know he’s signing. These type of videos are pointless
This overpaid and over-hyped player can pack his bags once the Leafs are eliminated in the first round by the Ottawa Senators.👋🏻
Told you guys
Manner isn't loyal to Toronto
Let him go hes been a brat since day 1
