Marner isn't getting traded, nor should he, the fact that people think he's the problem are honestly uneducated. Yzerman didn't win the cup until his 15th year, how long did it take ovi?

[@OMEGAMUNOZ88888]

I don't know why people let emotions govern their decisions. And specifically talking Mitch Marner tossing his gloves because he is a competitor and knows that he can be better. Understand that people's opinions don't pay athlete's careers, opinions are only variables of playing media and selling or buying sponsors. I love Mitch Marner, because he is tall dark and handsome and strong at not supporting no horse shit. A little comedy to have the white and blue know that when it's time for hockey, it's strictly hockey, when it's time for a massage with a happy ending, then that's a different story. Have a great day and stay awesome. Matthews for (C) Mitch Marner (A) and let Bertuzzi know that all I want for Christmas is my two front touffs, my two front touffs. Yeaaahhhh Let's Go Maple Leafs Let's Go!!!

They obviously have no intention of re-signing Marner. They were adamant about signing Matthews and Nylander.

Nope they aren’t sure yet it’s quite obvious they will bring him back once more and make the decision from there they have made it very clear who they are and are not resigning they were adamant abt Sammy and Bert not resigning and now look they both are expected to go to free agency but that’s not the case with marner and that’s cause they aren’t sure

what was the point of these interview?? Basically every questions about players was not answered. Just media look for sound bites and then maybe infer something from what they said and then make assumption for the next 2 weeks.

Definition of insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome (keeping Mitch = keeping the “Shanaplan” = 4 to 5 eye wateringly expensive players with less and less chemistry just hoping that with catchy words like “a star” and “special”, that the 💩 🥧 pie will somehow sell itself…)

The past year or so has shown why we have the worst fanbase in all of sports. Y’all preaching for Mitch to get traded like he hasn’t absolutely carried the pp/pk since being a leaf. Jt is on an 11m expiring deal, y’all can’t wait 1fkn year to get a top dman? What happed last time a team traded a star bc the Canadian fans pushed him out? a couple yrs later he went on to win the cup and put the other team into an entire rebuild. Hopefully brad doesn’t listen to these armchair gms and keeps Mitch if not then i guarantee they’ll lose a trade.

[@DoubleDOwnage]

Blake Wheeler. David Perron. Mike Gartner. Darren Turcotte. Jack Johnson. Bo Horvat. Phil Esposito. Pierre-Luc Dubois. Patrick Roy. For your 1 example, there are hundreds of stories of teams doing better after shedding dead weight especially in the cap era.

Name the playoff Marner led anything in points. Most minuses maybe.

[@chadloosemore6627]

100% agree. If the Leafs trade Marner and he gets another 100 point season the media will yell, "Why did you trade Marner?" It really all depends on how Bereube's meeting went with Marner. Bereube has to be impressed with Marner's two way play, but can he be physical enough for the new coach. I hope they keep Marner. The Blackhawks won a few Cups with their top 4 taking up 45% of their cap.

@@JohnnyLREACTS Trade him. Look, Nylander is all about $$. He has no passion, no heart. He only wanted the $$ and so that he held out to the very last day in pre season and accepted a 6mill+ contract because he had no choice. Then, plays "ok" through out, but he doesnt dig, doesnt hit, doesnt go against the boards....he floats. He plays the circles and the blue line. So.. get him the puck because he's open..he scores. 1st contract's about to expire. So, he busts his ass... a side of Nylander we haven't seen. Man... this player can actually be better than Matthews. Pulls off 1.75 super amazing seasons...why? To up his value. He lands a 11mill+ contract. BAM! He did it! Then he did not get a goal for 17 games?(roughly) Why..because he has an expenensive contract. Why push as hard as he did. So, what should brad do? Cut him..take our loss..find a grittier player to play around Matthews. One that will hit the corners, fight for pucks and defend. Will that hurt the leafs point production? Not as much as u may think with the right winger.

[@zafwarsi3238]

Wes Clark is a fool. When was the last time this team drafted a top pairing defenseman? A bonofide starting goalie? Keep trusting the process...

[@MapleDogs82]

Hard to pick a top pairing defenseman if you don't even have a first round pick because they keep trading them away trying to get tougher players to insulate the core four only for the team to fall short every year. The only reason they had a first round pick (which was Boston's that they got in the Sandin trade) was because they couldn't flip it by the deadline.

[@bigdave8437]

Drafting late in the 1st round you're not getting a top pair D-man ready for the NHL. The best teams don't draft positions, they draft the best player available by their own metrics at whatever spot they're picking. Go look at the top D in the league. Virtually all of them drafted in the top 10 in the 1st round. Clark is no fool whatsoever.

[@zafwarsi3238]

@bigdave8437 You make a good point. But over the past 20 years, the Leafs haven't drafted a top pairing defenseman (not even a top 4 Dman!) outside of Rielly, or starting goalie (Reimer?) that has made an impact on this team. I know Wes Clark hasn't been at the helm long, but 20 years is a long time!

[@bigdave8437]

@@zafwarsi3238 Just a note, the Leafs wisely drafted Tukka Rask, then that inbred dolt Ferguson Jr. traded him for Andrew Raycroft a genuine flake goalie. Burke went out & signed a washed up Mike Komisarek & a solid Cup winning D in Beauchemin to "build out from the back end", but forgot to include a goalie. He then pissed away TWO top 10 1st round picks for the soft-as-a-grape Phil Kessel, picks that he failed to 'top 10 protect' & they turned into Tyler Seguin & Dougie Hamilton (top pair D-man). There's how to completely bungle an on-the-fly re-build. 13 years between The Fergler, Burke, Fletcher (one draft) & Nonis & that was 11 yrs of missing the playoffs. I've seen people refer to the Matthews era Leafs as a "shit show", but '04 to 2015 was actual shit show. Go check out their drafting record from '04 to 2014. Pathetic. Clark is WAY better.

So in other words Mitch ain’t going anywhere, and nothing big is going to change. Same old shit. Look Tre, nobody is saying the early exit(s) are Mitch’s fault, or any other individual player’s fault for that matter. If blame needs a place to land, maybe we say Dubas and or Shanny. But what we are saying is 48%, (or whatever the hell number is), of salary cap going to four players is a full ranking failure, and you guys said change was coming and that this never ending string of failure had to and was going to stop. Nobody is picking on Mitch, he is just the one player of the core four that hasn’t been extended, so if change is coming to the salary cap debacle, he is the likely piece to move. Now it sounds like full-on back peddling on the, “change is coming”, process. Good to know nothing has or ever will change in Leaf land, ticket and merch sales are just fine thank you very much dear fans. Go Canucks, Go Oilers, RIP Leafs!

[@NovaSupernova]

This is the tool that gave Woll 4 million per for the next 3 years, based on Woll's whopping 36 games total in the league the past 3 years. I am not talking about 36 games per year, I am talking about 36 over 3 years and only 25 this year. Treliving is just like Dubas. Hands out ridiculous contracts and lets the agents bend him over and shove a hockey stick up the keister. BRAD TRELIVING IS A TWIT! If thats me Woll gets 1.5, one year show me contract then we talk about 4 million. So Treliving is going to sign a 6 million goalie and we will have 10 million tied up in goalies. What happens if the Glassman Woll gets injured again? Who are you going to put in net.
