I WOULD LOVE TO SEE MITCH AND JOHN GO TO PLAY FOR CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS TO PLAY WITH CONOR BEDARD!!!
Mabe also get the band back together with Kane and Taves!!!
🙏🙏🙏🎉🎉🎉👏👏👏🍻🍻🍻🥳🥳🥳
Brad trei living has already let one big guy walk for nothing I hope he doesn’t do the same .
First 100 point season ? Go check again . He could have 4 by now . He got 99 last year and played 80 games ( if he played 82 he would have got 100. Year before he got 85 points in 69 games ( would have got well over 100.
Year before that 72 games played 97 points on pace for well over 100.
Year before that , ( shortened season Covid time ) 55 games almost 70 points ( on pace for over 100)
Year before that same thing .
That’s what 6 years he would’ve been 100 point guy ? Matthews done it twice ? Lol how you think matthews got all his goals in first place ? lol do your homework dude
I was thinking how loyal they have been to the Core 4 but the moment Marner can walk he walks ..
Nothing on Nick and Darius, more so with the comments in the chat. Too many cooks in the kitchen. I love the Leafs and have been a fan since the mid-1970s. Before I die, I'd like to see the Buds win the Stanley Cup. 😢
Mitch could sign in LA or Ana, no more fishbowl, fresh start, and have his privacy
All guesses.
When the hell have you seen it from murse boy and fashionista????? The knock on marner is ALWAYS elimination games……when have those 2 clowns showed up in elimination games??? You guys should stop talking because the more you speak the dumber you sound
He is not coming back
How many mommy boys can you have on a team and win a cup. Matthew's Marner Nylander never going to work in the play offs. It has been proven. Change is needed these 3 are to soft when it gets tough
Firstly, you fail to mention the most significant aspect of the sign and trade, it’s not about helping the Leafs, sure they’d like a return, but really it’s more about Mitch not wanting to lose that extra year. In year 8 (if he was to sign a 7 year deal) when his pay is cut by half or more, do you think he wants to lose that money? No chance! If not, they’re quite comfortable taking his money and moving on.
Certainly a team has to make the playoffs first (many don’t) But, i would like to see salaries tied playoff performance more so than regular season. While we have perhaps become complacent about making the playoffs. For me it’s always been about what happens in the playoffs.
Matthews isn't locked up he's free agency in 2 yrs again? 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️. Nylander and Rielly are locked up.
brad could be ruthless sign him then trade him
It’s all trial balloons and negotiating through the media. Let him go, keep the 14 million get 2-3 depth players. Addition through subtraction.
Mitch does NOT care about winning a Cup, he cares MORE about the MONEY! 1000%
If manner wants to leave I wish him the best of luck .then the leafs need to replace him with someone who can make a difference
Curious ? When have you seen the rest of the core 4 produce when facing those big moments? You said you haven’t seen it from Marner but you saw it from Matthews and Nelander? I call bullshit!
Add Matt Duchene and Connor Brown for less cap then Marner and there is more output then Marner had but with players who show up in playoffs!
Darren Farris trying to get higher payment offers. Because as I said many times previously. Not a single team will pay him more than Rantanen. And they will all demand 8 years. Marner's demands have always been greedy and illogical. And unfortunately, the Leafs fell victim to it in his last deal instead of trading him back then. Which is what should have happened!
I hope he signs in the East so he can sewer that team and we can boo him every time he touches the puck!
Carolina was the ones that leaked the trade offer at the deadline because that team plays dirty and they wanted to let Marner's camp know they want him.
Of course Darrnen Ferris needs the option of the Leafs on the table to drive the price up for everyone else.
Its broken record me again…. marner is not the problem people. Wake up please.
Mathews is the issue. As the face of the team, the other players fall in behind him. Good or bad as he is on any given day, they do. And unfortunately, mathews is not a leader. He disappears in the tuff going of playoff hockey, is easily defended with pressure and facewashes, is now often injured.. and doesn't have the physical game to be THAT leader and playoff performer. AND, so the rest of the team goes. If he was physical, tough, gritty, could battle through the playoff grind and put up even decent numbers bers.. so to would the rest of the leafs follow!!
But he isn't. He won't, he never will be. History has proven this year after year.
Leafs play better without mathews in lineup.
And without Marner feeding him… he is 25-30 goal guy all day.
Trade mathews, free up those big bucks. Use it on some grit and playoff performance.
We will regret the day marner leaves. Wait and see.
Literally don't want him he needs to go.
Get rid of Rielly
Anaheim is going to be a lot better quickly. Their young defense is so nasty.
Speculation! Smeculation! Enough already! Can we just wait and see for crying out loud! I say Mitch stays! Bérubé likes him too much!
Darius, give your head a a shake. Matthew’s and Nylander are no better in clutch time, so stop trying to convince yourself. Marner just happens to be a FA. If all were signed, any one of them could be moved for a “DNA” change. // if Marner gets out there, sleeper pick – Detroit. (money to spend, on the cusp, loads of incoming youth) and even more cap space in the next 1-3 yrs with their veteran cap hits in Copp, Chariot, Tablot and Marcel coming off the books… and their young core all signed up long term for less than 9mil per.
He should take $660k then 1 million for the first round, then 5 million for each additional playoff round on a one year contract 😂
Mitch will be a star on a none playoff team…..
Add Jeanot and Frederic get rid of Kampf jarncrock and Reaves risk high reward players
Why is Wes McCauly, still a ref, still involved in the NHL, it's a disgrace, Bettman should be fired.
I don't care you comes too play for the leafs as long they are winners. And play with heart in the playoff s
“Wake the F**k up!” With his Dry hair in his last game as a leaf, let him walk. For years he’s been a season performer but is a ghost during the playoffs. Can do a lot with the cap space he’ll clear.
Wrong guy should be Mathews they played better with out him
Mitchie wants to come back to the Leafs country club, absolutely. They will over pay the figure skater here, no trade contract. He'll work hard during the regular season and disappear during the playoffs because the whole team love their long summer off season to recover and improve their golf games. Ticket prices rise, lots of swag gets sold and the money keeps rolling in. So, whats the big deal? Bring them all back! WTH
Not sure why Leaf fans are upset. Did they think that they would have a chance against the Stanley Cup champs? Do they not understand the way that Florida plays playoff hockey after last year and during this one? There is and should be, no surprise there.
Even if Marner isn't shutting the door on returning to Toronto, management should absolutely shut the door on Mitch coming back to Toronto. The guy wants freaking Leon Draisatl money and disappears in the playoffs. No thanks.
Honestly not that opposed to giving Sam 10 if Marner walks and the cap goes up steadily. He's a proven producer with a physical game that can skate well plus he comes from the 6 so he'll play with heart no doubt.
If a guy like Sam Bennett will make more because of his playoff play, how come Mitch Marner doesnt lose money for how trash he is during the playoffs.
You had a chance to sign for eight years and didn’t sign and he turned down a trade to the Carolina hurricanes so I think he’s going
It's over for michelle in Toronto, just leave PLEASE, PLEASE!!!!! Leave
If he leaves the leafs should shoot for a top 2 Defenceman
Marner only cares about money if he's willing to go to Columbus. Show him the money. He is a whiner not a winner.
Sorry Matthews never shows up in the playoffs either
Marner is just like that loser Mats Sundin, they want ALL the money and forget about the franchise that made them rich –massive underachievers. Bye Bye 16
Core-4 —> Points per 60 in playoffs

If the Leafs sign regular season Marner, this is proof that the Laughs do not give a dam about winning the Stanley Cup or any Playoff success.
Sign and trade helps Marner more than the Leafs. Marner can get 8 years instead of 7. But lets face it, Marner is targeting certain teams.
