He'll be an upgrade @ 3C
Had the 'tampering' issue not come up with the news leaking out that Marner was in Vegas house hunting last week, It's likely the Leafs would have got nothing out of this signing by Vegas. His deal would have just been a max of 7 yrs. That all changed & it's believed Vegas offered up Roy to mollify Toronto & get Tree to do a sign & trade for 8 yrs to get the aav down to 12M. Getting a legit BIG, defensively solid 3rd line centre who has put up 30+ points 3 times & 41 pts once, vs a draft pick is a home run for Treliving. The Johnny Gaudreau signing in Columbus got Calgary zero. Nice work by Tree, along with Knies, Miccelli & JT with his large hometown discount. Pezzetta is a half the price upgrade on the slow, aging Reaves. He is 11 yrs younger & much better defensively than Reavo. Tree should hold on to his 5M cap space see how things shake out over the summer. There are going to be teams that have to jettison players to get cap compliant, so waiting is not a bad idea.
Welcome to the leafs buddyv
Welcome Nick!!!
Already see his demeanour exceeds Marners
I Wish Nic the best, which is why I hope he gets put of that toxic market ASAP!
Wow never thought nick roy was a leafs fan from Quebec that’s crazy 😂
If he plays with heart when the games matter he’ll be an instant welcome addition
Welcome aboard. Happy to have ya
Nic is a very good player and a very nice add. Type of player you can win with.
Nothing for Marner, you had over a full year to do something….what a big disappointment….terrible management. Roy – 3 million for a 4th line center….a salary dump…lollllll, comical. Marcellli l do like, a top 6 Forward. Overall, so far, not good at all….we need a another top 6 F. We are not a better team.
For those who don't speak French, the last question asked of Nicolas was concerning his thoughts about replacing Marner. Nicolas replied that Marner was weak and soft and that he would likely get destroyed playing in the Western Conference with real men. You're welcome.
Bennie is gonna have a new friend 😂
Tre did good here for Trading the rights of marner..usually you only see a 3rd or 4th round pick in that situation..if you ask me, Tre has something on Vegas that they didn't want to come out lol 🤷♂️ seriously though i do wish Marner all the success in the world as a Golden Knight
Roy is a massive upgrade for the playoffs, I don’t care if he’s not a Mitch Marner type player, he’ll probably have better playoff stats than Marner and in the bottom 6🤣😂
big add getting this guy
Yes i know Mitch try and try hard but you can't put a heart of a lion into a lamb it will be a lamb still , You can't teach aggression , but thanks to Mitch we love you and wish you the best .hopefully your son become a leaf someday too.
