Quoting: MitchMarnerElite
I think if the Leafs underwhelm in the playoffs again this year, the player in question should be Mitch Marner. At this point, I have to wonder if he’s a locker room cancer & holding the team back. It’s undeniable that the kid’s got loads of talent, but this season there were just so many games in which he gave a poor effort & played with no intensity at all. The team looks up to their top players & Marner certainly didn’t set an example this year.
My offseason plan would be to trade Marner for a package that addresses Toronto’s biggest needs. We need to keep in mind that in a flat cap world, there won’t be teams interested in taking on his albatross contract, so the return will be much smaller than what we’d all expect.
My ideal Mitch Marner trade would be to send him to Pittsburgh for Patric Hornqvist, Sam Lafferty, Jack Johnson & Chad Ruhwedel. What’d you guys think?
Clearly, that's some sort of sarcastic joke right? Where has ever been reported, or even rumored that Mitch Marner is an issue in the locker room? I've never ever heard that, or read that, about him.
