He’s not my boy. He’s a guy with a full NMC. Sit his ass sounds tough but you don’t sit an $11M player and he’s already shown in his last negotiation that he doesn’t care what the fans think. If he wants to go, cool. If he doesn’t try to win with him in the lineup. There aren’t other real options, just pretend ones.
- Canada Cup

He won't go. If he gets asked he will stay just to spite the Leafs. Float all year like he did no Pasta's OT winner.

Just saw the Marner presser. Said it has been a real tough year to focus.

2. Adjustment to married life.

A new address would help 👍

You have to be careful with how you treat players. Could make it tough to get others to come to Toronto
- jribout

It’s the Blazing Saddles strategy.

All you can do is ask him if he’s prepared to accept a trade. If not, try to win with him in the lineup. But don’t pretend you’re going to waste a year by letting him rot

I rewound the tape

Marner let Pasta blow by him at blue line
Rielly couldn’t get there
- mr.sir

Tape? I know you guys are just getting used to indoor plumbing and electricity, but didn't think you still used VCRs. At least start with Laser Disc.

He won’t do it to spite the Leafs. He’ll do it to rack up points and get a better contract somewhere.

Nylander is good at that too.

Except Nylader scores clutch goals come
Playoff time vs Marner doing his best Casper the Friendly Ghost impression

I just want Marner and Sammy gone.

2 guys who can just not get it done whatsoever when it counts.

Can’t (frank)ing believe we had a .890 SV% goalie as our guy the last 2 seasons.

Well you should make the playoffs next year. Gauthier should give you that extra push you need. You need more skill when your team cannot play with any Hart

Run it back!

Except:
Sammy Lilly Brodie Gregoire

Tree deserves some credit

Edmundson
Lyubushkin
Domi
Bertuzzi

All showed up

Trade Lilly + for Pulock

Oh poop forgot #16
F that 🤡

How many shots did Woll face in a period and a half in game 6?
- jribout

Well in the first period in games 5 & 6 combined he faced 3.

Hard to believe Woll would have won them the series if they played like they did in the 5 games he didn’t play in no matter how hard Santos believes it.

Oh well.
- Marwood

Idiot.

He won't go. If he gets asked he will stay just to spite the Leafs. Float all year like he did no Pasta's OT winner.
- jribout

He could do that. But if he gets put on the 4th line and gets no powerplay time, his value in a contract year plummets. If he wants another $11M contract, he needs to move on and show another team that he's worth it.

Want Marner gone then find a suitor he’d play for that has the assets & can fit his cap. Any ideas?

It's pretty easy when you're gifted a generational scorer and top 10 draft picks. He couldn't bring in playoff type players to supplement the star players. Treliving did this. Dubas emptied the cupboards.
- PrinceLH

He brought in McCabe last year and drafted Knies in the 2nd round. Wtf do you mean "emptied the cupboards"? He acquired the players you put on a pedestal!


They are ACTIVE ON THE ROSTER. Like you know the draft picks don't actually play the games? players do.

Run it back!

I think Tree absolutely deserves credit. Pretty sure someone on this board said Edmunson was too slow to be on the game 1 line up.
That poster has zero clue how hockey works (It wasn't you)

You're not giving the scouting staff any credit. They find the diamonds that are hidden and give their recommendations.

I just want Marner and Sammy gone.

The scouting department also thought Malgin was gonna be a thing


Can't have it both ways. They DO have pro scouts in the room too scouting other teams so they also make mistakes.

- Nighthawk

So a team where he can play on a line with someone like Auston Matthews?

Point 1 is either a total cop out or proof he is the biggest wussy ever.

Lmfao on the bold.

They fought hard this series, proud of quite a few players.

a handful of players need to (frank) off and never put on this jersey again.

Clearly Dubas was responsible for everything that went wrong but none of the things that went right.

Accurate. Just give the guy credit for his contributions to the players that showed up this year that people want to pat on the back.

Tree deserves his share of credit too.

EDIT: It's hilarious seeing people do everything to avoid giving the guy any credit
