  1. You guys keep talking about the money but it was about the promises broken. And the ELC stuff was how things began in the timeline. No one is rehashing anything.

  2. 😂 Mitch now is on a cheap, underpaid contract for another 7 years … he's probably seething … Carlsson makes 50% more … I wonder if he'll pout and shut down now … effectively, the Leafs got McKenna for Marner … Leafs win on that trade!

  3. I do not live in the past, learn from it, and I move on, As for the Marner thing, Its his life, I have not thought about him since he left, I focus on who is now on the team, and cheer for them.

  4. I’m sorry, but hearing a multi-millionaire complain about being “hard done by” financially is just absurd. Guy is completely out of touch with reality.

    Marner and Matthews basically put a stranglehold on this team by taking up such a massive chunk of the salary cap. It limits what the team can build around you, and we saw that play out.

    All this comes across as caring more about squeezing out every last dollar than about competing for a championship. Where is the hunger to win?

    And let’s be honest: there is no meaningful difference in lifestyle between earning 100 million and 120 million. You, your kids, and your kids’ kids are set for life either way. That extra amount does not change anything except how it looks on paper.

    At some point, it just feels selfish. Less about legacy, more about ego. Just pre-Madonnas thinking about the paycheck instead of the banner.

  5. Mariner’s agent needs to shut his yap. Why can’t Marner say he was part of leadership on the Leafs and for whatever reason in games 5 to 7 I (we) just didn’t get it done and that was very unfortunate. And be done.

  6. If you want to get latest and greatest contract then sign 1 yr contract. If you want security sign the multi year thing. Players can’t have it both ways. You liked it when you signed the contract so live with it.

  7. You hear it all the time, the agent is representing what the player is saying. Clearly someone in the Marner camp wanted this out and wanted to stir up shit while Marner is sitting in Muskoka watching it happen.

  8. Marner was fifth paid player in league on his last contract with the Leafs ,but he is still whining about disrespect. Not matter how good a player we are well shot of a whining little child who just caused bad vibes in the room. The fact he and his agent are still whining about it is proof he is not worth the effort.

  9. Marner and his agent need to move on. And for those who will say Marner didnt say shit, no but his agent doesnt talk without getting Mitch to say its ok. He works for Mitch. Move the fuck on.

  10. Talk about daft, the missing bonus was the start of a bad relationship. All of you guys just jump on it like flies on 💩 lol AND Rosie lol bro get a mirror

  11. Ferris played a huge part in damaging Mitch's public reputation but Mitch did himself no favours anytime he opened his mouth. Glad to be done with these drama queens. Now let's go win a Cup.

  12. A key point that has not received enough attention in this discussion is the damage Mitch Marner’s camp, through agent Darren Ferris, has done to Toronto’s reputation among prospective players. By publicly detailing a series of grievances against the Maple Leafs, Ferris has reinforced and amplified the long-standing narrative that Toronto is an especially difficult place to play because of intense media scrutiny and fan pressure.
    Since this story broke, that narrative has resurfaced across podcasts and articles, further shaping how free agents and other players view the market. When layered on top of existing challenges — colder weather, higher taxes, currency differences, and political factors — it becomes meaningfully harder for the Leafs (and Canadian teams in general) to recruit and retain talent.
    The Leafs do have one meaningful advantage that most other Canadian clubs lack: the financial capacity to spend to the salary-cap ceiling. Montreal is the only other Canadian team in a similar position. Even so, that advantage can only partially offset the reputational and lifestyle hurdles.
    The broader narrative that Canadian markets are uniquely difficult places to play needs to be confronted more directly. Otherwise, it will continue to put Canadian teams at a competitive disadvantage. The way Ferris has framed Marner’s exit only serves to revive and reinforce that narrative at a particularly damaging moment.

  13. im so fkng glad that whiney little weasly loser didnt win the cup. He was gearing up to absolutely dump on the city and fanbase of Toronto with his stupid little "Ill talk about it if we win". Then they lost and he had to backtrack and blame "mental health". hahahaha the guy is a weasle in the purest form
