He's the one factor on the backend that this team has been lacking. If we can get the right Marner trade, maybe we can get one more solid righty on D and some cap space for another gritty winger.

Yeah lets trade our best player. Great idea. Tavares deseeves nothing but praise for proudly wearing the C, taking 11mill per and leading this team to all its success over his years on this team. Let's blame our winger who eats up the most minutes as a forward

@@Thisisbailie Marner is great is the first 2 games of any given playoff series, then when the games get tougher, he folds like a cheap suit. That being said, that's not the primary reason why he needs to be traded. They cannot build a winning team with that much money allotted to a few forwards. This isn't the All-star game where it's all skill and no contact. No cup winning team in the past 10 years has been built like that.

@@GospelTestimony and Tavares takes more and plays way less and puts up way less. Marner is our top points producer even in playoffs. People who act like he is our captain and the only player that matters in the playoffs are on glue.

@@GospelTestimony To go one step further, no team has been built like that in the entire salary cap era, and probably the entire history of the game. Even Edmonton in the 80s had Coffey on the blueline and Fuhr in net. It will *not* work. The Leafs have a chance over the next year to completely reinvent their team. Tavares comes off the books and if they trade Marner for the right piece then that would only leave them with 2 forwards making 11M or more. Moving into the future with Matthews and Nylander is the way to go, at least Nylander scores goals in the playoffs. Interestingly, Seravalli said today that Vegas has been poking around on Marner apparently. It would make some sense, they lost Marchessault, Amadio and Stephenson today up front. They also got Hanifin which may make Theodore expendable. Vegas also only has 2 NHL RD's at the moment. Perhaps Marner + Liljegren + Niemela for Theodore + Barbashev + Vegas 2027 1st round pick?? Dont know what the deal could be but it is interesting that Vegas is at least intrigued by Marner.

Always liked Tanev, but seriously, guy is gonna be 35, two months into the season, and his injury frequency, and recovery time, is only going to increase with age. This is not a "good signing". It's a very risky signing, and I would be surprised if he isn't injured long-term, in his very first season with Toronto. I wish the guy the best though, as he's a heart and soul player. We'll see how things unfold.
@nolankuffner35733 ай бұрын
Fun fact: Nylander didn't miss a game all year for Toronto. Tanev missed over a dozen with Dallas. But he still played more hockey, and more meaningful hockey. And nobody's talking shit about Nylander. Marner and Samsonov, but one of those guys is gone now.
