LA because the difference between Fiala and Marner is not Brandt Clarke. Hell not sure id even do that without Clarke considering Marner is about to be paid 12-13 mill in 2 years and Fiala is signed for under 8

You self admit that Marner is likely to get $12-13M and that Fiala is making under $8M but still think the gap isn’t that big? Stop hating on the Leafs and realize that Marner is a top 10 player in the league.

Let’s be real if Marner was signed at 6-7 mill now he’d get max 10. But his last overpayment sets him up for a raise

He makes a 1.4 million more than Kucherov he's a bit overpaid. Some idiot is going to compound that mistake . Is he a great player yes but if you want to win you can't be to top heavy .

The Leafs will say no.
Why would they trade Mitch Marner?
The Leafs will be unsuccessful without him, in my opinion.

The Leafs are unsuccessful with him...

Great point brainiac, except 6 teams have won cups since Marner entered the league, so 26 “unsuccessful” teams including canuckles. By your logic - all your players are overpaid too?

I'm not a Vancouver Canucks fan...

Surely LA would decline right OldNYIFan? I think you're a Kings fan, has Fiala been this bad where Clarke makes up the difference?

So only the Cup champs are successful IYO? So, the Islanders Back to back Conference final wasn't success Dallas or Nashville being Western conference champs isn't success. I personally think a conference final or multiple conference final appearances is successful. 1 2nd round game win in 7 years not so much.

What a player is paid, doesn’t determine how good he is. Marner is a consistent 90-100 point offensive player that’s also an elite defensive player. Plays in all situations and is a leader on the team - you don’t find those players easily. He’s a top 10 in the league and paid accordingly

You are entitled to think what you want; no parades for conf finals (of course no parades for Tampa cups either because no one really cared 🤷🏻) so no, I don’t consider that success.

I guess you missed both boat parades down the Hillsborough river and pack Raymond James stadium for the speeches after but go ahead with your lying garbage narrative you clueless troll

Is Marner a great player yes is he worth 12-13 million if someone is willing to pay him that yes I guess, however I'd much rather have Kucherov and 1.4 million in cap space that's Nick Perbix + is Marner better than Kucherov? No IMO I'll take the guy with 3 100point seasons and 2 playoffs with 30+ points and 2 more 20+ point playoffs especially making 1.4 million less . Kucherov has 2 rings .

Hit a nerve 😂. Dozens of boats and hundreds, maybe thousands of people. I stand corrected - what a champ

Way to have tunnel vision and just look at what you see on paper there bud.
You can’t use the argument of Kucherov having 2 rings and say that’s why he’s better - winning is a team thing and you can’t say Marner doesn’t help his team win. There’s so many other factors that make up winning a cup so that’s a really lame argument.
You also can’t really use Kucherov’s cap hit as a good explanation because everyone knows that if he signed the same deal somewhere else, he’d have signed for around the same amount that Marner makes. But Tampa Bay has a massive advantage when it comes to taxes. They can offer a lower AAV because the player will take home more money - Marner pays a little more than $1.8M more in taxes in Toronto than he would in Florida. So there’s the difference in money.

No that wasn't the only argument that's the cherry on top. And Toronto has a massive advantage in being able to arrange commercial endorsements that can more than make up that difference they tried using that on Stamkos when they brought the CEO of Canadian Tire in to explain just how much more he could make being a product ***** in Toronto so stop with the bull**** tax thing.
