Yeah, Tumble.

It was a pretty damning list of Muppet admittance.

You can think whatever you want, man..

Maybe Ferris is just a good agent, and Dubas is a lousy negotiator?

Nylander playing with Marleau and Brown: 1g, 2a.

“What a bum.” “Lazy, perimeter player.” “Soft as slime.” “Greedy Willie.”


Marner playing with Tavares and on the #1 PP: 2g, 2a.

“The greatest player to have ever wear the blue and white.”

You’ve never been good at debating in good faith. When you leave out half of what’s said to attempt to make yourself look smart, it reflect poorly back on you.

Not that this needs to be said, but I said “Marner could end up being the best player to wear the blue and white.”

All evidence is pointing to the opposite.

All those guy settled for less because Ferris over played his bluffs every time.

That's why I fully expect Marner to be a Leaf for years to come and not be vastly overpaid.

Yes, we are all assuming the stuff we hear is relatively accurate.

It is entirely possible that it is nowhere near the truth.

I believe it is at least approximately correct.
- Aetherial

I imagine it is at least somewhere close to being true.

But this is Toronto...So everything has to be dramatized, exaggerated, and blown out of proportion because people like us will passionately follow the news and comment religiously.

I'm embarrassed to say I fall for it everytime.

Tell me, do you allow Mitch to finish inside, or always on your back?

- Steven_Seagull

You have absolutely nothing.

Your Marner bashing tea party is over.

SQUAWK!!!!

Was pretty comical.

Unfortunately this time he has a client with some more serious value.
- Aetherial

I know about the Athanasiou one. Ferris basically threatened everything he could trying to hold Holland ransom. AA even held out and went to Europe for a couple months. In the end Holland called his bluff and he signed for less than what he was demanding and also lost salary for each game he missed. Brilliant. I'm guessing Dubas is doing the same with Ferris. Calling his bluff.

Way to make your point, gullsie..

School yard insults, terrible faith..

For sure.

It’s the owners who push them to take more term because they know they’ll get them at a discount on the back end of the contract. No one is mad at AM for signing a 5yr deal, but Mitch isn’t allowed because he should take less to stay in his hometown.
- Arctic_AARDVARK

Exactly.

FWIW, I think Dubas will get it done, and be able to keep everyone...

But the crunch is the result of overpaying Nylander, and bringing in JT. That’s not MM’s fault. It’s also not his fault that other star players took lowball offers around the league.

This was never going to be easy, but I honestly never thought I’d see the day that so many people would poop on a guy who done every single thing right in his young career, and put up 94pts coming off his elc.

I get the frustrations, but this is not Mitch’s fault.
- Arctic_AARDVARK

Now hold up....the only reason little mitchy scored 90 plus (frank)ing points is because ge had tavares as his center...and if you think otherwise I got 2 names for you...barzal and Moulson.

I haven’t heard any reputable sources mention anything about that.

If that’s what he’s been offered, he should turn it down.
- Arctic_AARDVARK

They are referencing Burke. It's the first time his quips don't get laughed at. Oh but this time he's right.

And I suppose it’s a complete stroke of luck that Tavares had a career year his first year in Toronto..

Next time a real team Canada is assembled, Mitch will be riding shotty with McDavid.

That’s pretty much all you need to know.

Why? most of us do.

There are always some idiots who like to take a holier than thou stance, wildly exaggerate everyone's frustrations, and post stupidity here every day.

You have absolutely nothing.

Marner’s previous career high was 69.

Tavares’ previous career high was 86.

If Tavares is the reason Mitch put up the points he did, then why did Mitch put up MORE points?

I’ll wait for your logical response to this. Im sure it’ll change my mind.

Players get paid based on projection, and so far it looks like Mitch is already as good as Tavares, so he should be at least 11mil, no?

Maybe Toronto is offering him to much money and he doesn't want to take it because he doesn't want to hurt the team's chance to win.

Mitch is a winger. Completely different set of responsibilities.

So?

Mitch kills penalties, that’s seems like a big responsibility..

He had 6 more points. (frank)ing legend.


Marner isn’t a goal scorer, and he’s a winger. Why should he get 11mil?

Mitch is my favorite player.

But that's a hard pass on Mitch at 11.

Because he wants it
