haha i know im new here, but i have been sitting back and reading for long enough, people suggesting we trade marner are insane, he is everything you would want in a superstar, you keep marner matthews no matter what, trade selfish players like nylander first

Is anyone actually taking about trading Marner? I’ve been going on about trading Nylander since January, though.

if he gets offer-sheeted it won’t be 4 1sts coming back, and they’re not trading him.

I think there were actually a couple that suggested trading him and others saying we should take the 4 firsts if he gets a massive offersheet.

Honestly, I just don't really believe he'll sign an offersheet and I don't think he'll get so greedy that Dubas has no real choice but to trade him. His agent will push for a hefty pay check, but I think Marner will get signed for something manageable.

What other choices/sacrifices we'll need to make to fit under the cap, I dunno.

Don't you hate it when you're taking a piss, then sneeze, and the sneeze makes you fart? And then you realize your being recorded on an infrared camera?

irrelevant - apparently assists don't matter..

Marner last season was:

- 4th in assists in NHL
- 3rd in primary assists in NHL
- 1st in primary assists in NHL excluding PP assists

If Leafs manage to fix the PP, he'll be leading NHL in assists and will be top5 in points next season.

so, what you're insinuating is that Marner already had his best season - no chance for personal improvement...?

Unreal save by Blue Jacket Bob.

It wlll be 4 1sts. No one will bother giving him a 10 million per offersheet.

If Dubas has brass balls he trades Marner. He is the only guy who will bring a return that the team needs (defence). Nylander will find his game. Or at least improve. There was a reason he was chosen to do this job. Now is the time to earn his stripes. To come back with a lesser forward group due to cap implications, and zero upgrade in the top four would be a recipe for disaster. This team needs to be rocked to the foundation and this would do it. Building cup winners isn't for the meek. This core has been around a few seasons. It just isn't good enough.

Additionally, if they had a guy similar to Matt Martin then Kadri wouldn't be the designated hit man. He wouldn't have to run around like a tool. Kadri and Rielly are best bang for the buck on the team. DO NOT TRADE EITHER

But what if that player wears a suit in the pressbox like Martin did?

Do you leaf fans ever stop crying. If a Leaf got hit with the elbow Backes did or the
knee by Jenner or the shots thrown by Anderson they would be calling for their usual suspension, suspension. Learn to enjoy big boy hockey instead of crying every time someone gets touched. Both teams got their shots in. CBL were the aggressors, they played hard and physical and the bruins did the same. The leafs should try it.

The blue jacket goal was obviously a missed call, if it were against the Leafs it would have been a conspiracy by the league for sure.

The entire league knows the Bruins have been getting away with more poop than anyone else for years.

If the Bruins were held to the same standards as the rest of the league, there would be mass suicide among Bruins fans.

These two teams deserve each other. Goon Jenner against Cross-Check-King Chara and Backstabbing talentless Backes. Too funny hearing a fan of the Boston Goons complaining about officiating.

CGY gets: LW Andreas Johnsson ('94, RFA)



Helps with 2 problems, RHD and Andersson is under contract for this coming season @ 750k.
