They get a stud in return for a guy who becomes an albatross after getting a massive extension? Sounds good to me

Matthews and Willy give you 200 points together so offense will still be there, but trading a dude like Marner usually means you're losing the trade no matter what.

Hronek is an RFA, Pesce is a 5M+ D, Carlo is an ok option Manson sucks, and Andersson is an expensive D

Yeah he has sucked, but so has most of the leafs

The problem with a marner trade, is even a great GM like Brad could not get Marner's Value back

What happened to Calgary after the Tkachuk trade? Who do you find to replace Marner or Nylander on the 2W

Probably not, it depends on what you view as his value. If you are looking at just regular season results then absolutely not, if you are looking at just playoffs then he will absolutely get a better return, if you are looking at both combined I think he could get like 80% of his value. Something like Saros + Tomasino + Fabbro from Nashville could be a very good basis.

DeBrusk, Teuvo, Marchessault, Duchene, Toffoli

Or could move Willy to 2RW and have Mantha as a 3RW or Stephenson/Henrique as 3Cs

There are tons of options

Nobody says he’s a bad player but he’s not getting paid 11 million to dominate the Flyers on a Tuesday night in December, he’s getting paid to produce in the playoffs. He’s shown time and time against he’s incapable of doing that. Ship his ass out

Marner absolutely has value but if the Leafs go out in R1 he will be under even more fire from the fans and media than he is right now. That and running it back is just moronic.

The thing Leafs fans should appreciate is that Treliving is actually very good at making blockbuster trades. The Hamilton deal was fantastic for Calgary, the Tkachuk deal was widely viewed as a home run when it was made too, despite Tkachuk refusing to sign a contract and asking for a trade. Not to mention he would have landed Eichel too had Vegas not casually added Mark Stone and Pacioretty to LTIR to make the room

The funny thing is, he does have 49 points in 54 games. You guys talk about him like he has 20 points in 100 playoff games. It's ridiculous how off base everyone is on this site all the time. Like just do a 30 second google search

Treliving buried the flames he sucks.

Which is why I said that you are wrong,

He's been brutal

Leafs are lucky Matthews with 3points and JT with a goal in the series have been lighting it up to Marners 1goal and 1 assist. (Matthews-28 Nylander-24 Tavares-36 Rielly-42) The number is how many pounds each player out weighs Marner by. He is by far the smallest guy but leaf fans expect him to play like the biggest. Besides Matthews once every 25games not one of those guys makes a check you can say makes the other team keep their head up. But Marner is the problem in the playoffs.

Nylander decided to sleep through the first few games

He could play down the stretch trying to get his 100points but once the playoffs start he isn't able.

CAN'T be traded is more realistic statement. Whether he should be resigned to an extension, well that's a question the Leafs and Mitch have to decide.

Exactly! Marner is still a top 5 RW and is just a very good player, Up there with Tkachuk and Rantanen

Yeah, That Tkachuk trade was horrible and Markstrom and Huberdeau got bad contracts

As did Kadri and Weegar as well. I full expect Treliving to give out more than one terrible long term deal for some older guy who's best days at behind him.

Mitch Marner in career games 5-7: 19 games, 1 goal, 7 assists

So did Dubas and he has turned out "well" in Pittsburgh
