<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SK101</b></div><div>Two thirds of marners career points are assists on matthews goals. He’s a PPG on any other team</div></div>

He's spent the greater part of 4/7 years playing with him 5v5 and the powerplay. Of course Matthews will have a great contribution to his points. Who else is he going to be passing to? The same is probably true for McDavid with Draisaitl (or any two players that have payed significant time together). I wouldn't be surprised if Marner was PPG or near PPG on CLB since they don't even have a healthy 30G scorer, but there would be plenty of other teams that he would produce 90+ points on as long as he's scoring 30+ and he's playing with a 40G scorer or two 30G scorers.
Just look at what he did in his first 3-years away from Matthews, and in his 99 point season, where Matthews contributed to 37 points (11 EVG and 9 PPG from Matthews). Matthews had 13 PPG goals that year which had him tied for 19th with 4 other guys.

<strong>Can Marner do it away from Matthews/Tavares?</strong>

Every good player will benefit by playing with quality talent, you won't really know how a player will adapt to his new environment and teammates though. I don't think anyone should have questioned Pastrnak since when he broke out in 2016-17, Marchand had a career-high while Bergeron had a down-year. In 2018-19, all of their productions skyrocketed giving them all career highs up to that point. If you look at Marner's production in his first 4-years, you can see that he's capable of producing with non-elite talent as long as they are the right fit. Would also see that Marner playing with elite talent is mutually beneficial. Also, that Marner and Nylander didn't connect for much in the first 4-years since they didn't really play together 5v5 in their careers much and Nylander joined the PP in the 4th-year. Edit: I was curious about the remaining 3-years: 14 pts, 23 pts, and 20 pts.

<strong>Year 1</strong>: Playing <strong>with Bozak and JVR </strong> mainly he had <strong>61 pts in 77 games</strong>. <strong>Contributions from Bozak 35 pts, JVR 40 pts</strong>, Matthews 0 pts, Nylander 0 pts (1pt in the playoffs), Kadri 7 pts.

<strong>Year 2</strong>: Playing <strong>with Bozak &amp; JVR and Kadri &amp; Marleau, 69 pts in 82 games</strong>. Contributions from Bozak 16, JVR 23 pts, Kadri 20 pts, Marleau 19 pts, Matthews 4 pts, Nylander 3 pts. Combined totals:<strong> C 36 pts, W 42</strong>

<strong>Year 3</strong>: Playing <strong>with Tavares and Hyman, 94 pts in 82 games</strong>. Contributions from <strong>Tavares 50 pts, Hyman 24 pts,</strong> Matthews 15 pts, Nylander 1pts, Kadri 6 pts. The total contribution from Tavares + Hyman is similar (slightly less) than previous year, but I'm sure he did because Marner's EV pts went up while his PP points remained similar had more even goals because the biggest change this year was that Marner was playing more minutes and I believe Matthews' was added to PP1 (Marner's PP production remained similar though) . We see that his production with Matthews has gone up, a bit which is probably that Matthews joined the PP1 unit. Tavares' production didn't go up a lot but he did have 10 more goals (beating his previous career high by 9 goals). and set a career-high in points as well (by 4 more). 37 of those goals were EV. So we see both Marner and Tavares benefitting from playing together.

<strong>Year 4</strong>: I think he mainly played <strong>with Matthews and Hyman, 67 pts in 59 games (93 pt pace)</strong>. Contributions from <strong>Matthews 39 pts (54 pts pace), Hyman 17 pts</strong>, Tavares 20 pts, Nylander 11 pts. This is likely the year that Nylander joined the 1st PP unit.


I think the biggest question for CLB, after cost of acquisition, is who will Marner play with in CLB? I thin his point totals will drop at least some, that usually happens, but his point totals are going to drop hard if he's playing with Gaudreau most likely. Based on what's worked for Marner in TOR, they will want him with a goal scorer/PWF and someone who can go fetch the puck. Bozak, Tavares, and Matthews were all good at getting possession either from being great in the faceoff circle or being a good two-way C. So, I think Fantilli (at least in the future) or Jenner could be his center, but not sure who would be the winger. The guys getting set up by Marner (JVR, Tavares, and Matthews are all LH), so maybe Jenner and Chinakov.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jacketsman61</b></div><div>But how much of his production is based on Matthews and Nylander? We don’t know. That is a huge risk considering his contract. Pasta has proven his value even being away from Bergeron. Notice the only player on that list that hasn’t done anything in the playoffs…Marner. Kaprizov is the outlier bc his team has not been consistently good enough to make the playoffs.</div></div>

<strong>Marner's Playoff Woes</strong>

If we look at the guys mentioned above in terms of playoff production, it's not just Kaprizov behind Marner but also Panarin:

Last 5-years: poor Kaprisov with 0.63 (106th), Panarin 0.78 (59th), Marner is at 0.89 (tied for 33rd with Krejci), Pastrnak 0.92 (30th), Tkachuk 1.02 (18th), Kucherov 1.29 (5th), Rantanen 1.32 (4th).

Last 3-years: Kaprisov 0.75 (79th), Panarin 0.78 (72nd), Marner 1.00 (tied for 21st with a bunch of guys), Tkachuk 1.15 (15th), Kucherov 1.18 (tied for 8th with MacKinnon), Rantanen 1.29 (5th)

So despite the Rangers having more playoff success than the Leafs, Panarin has been more underwhelming than Marner (which is why trade Panarin after elimination is an annual CF event). Marner was near PPG career-wise in the playoffs before this year, and with this year he's still PPG in the last three. So his rep of not doing anything is because he's not doing enough and his team is losing. He's also thrown the puck over the glass in the same way in two consecutive playoffs a few years back that led to significant goals. If he's doing amazing defensively, I don't know that he is his shortcomings will always be highlighted. A change of scenery would do him good. Tkachuk had a worse disappearing act in CGY (career: 0.56; last 5-years: 0.67) but has turned it around in FLR (1.23). Many stars don't do well in the first round, and most don't do well when they lose a series. So considering that the Leafs won just one series in Marner's career, it's not a surprise, could be worse.

Ultimately, while top-paid players are expected to produce when it matters most and strong playoff performances help get guys paid, players are getting paid big dollars mostly on their regular season performance. So, sure if a team had the choice between pursuing Rantanen or Marner, most would choose the former unless Marner was a better fit in their system. They could also choose not to pursue either if that makes the most sense. Regardless, Marner as a free agent today would likely have over a dozen offers in the 9.5-13M range. He's worth the 10.9M.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CakeEaterBanks</b></div><div>For me the reason I am trading Marner is because he's lost the respect of the city and unfortunately we have to admit it will never work out with him.

I know for a fact he will be elite playoff player the second we trade him but the reality is it won't ever be here and we need right shot on the point that can open up the wing for Matthews on the power play. There's a reason why the PP in February was at like 50% when Rielly was out. IT was because Liljegren QB the 1st PP. Jireck is guy that can become that and as much as I like Montour its a bad signing waiting to happen.

Maybe we trade Marner to get Artym Levnshov to get a top 5 pick but a Marner trade needs to happen and Tree and Shanty knows it</div></div>

Probably zero chance the Leafs end up getting Levnshnov or a top 5 pick. Maybe they could get pick 6, but doubt it. Even if they did get a high pick, by the time any of those guys start making any type of impact, Matthews is probably in the final year of the deal. The Leafs should definitely look at drafting multiple RHD (and Cs) in this draft with their 1st and late picks, but they are going to have to address their RHD via free agency/trade.

They reportedly want Pesce, so I don't think they will go after Montour. They'll likely take their time with finding a better PP QB than Rielly (maybe they should give Timmins a shot at a spot this year, and perhaps if he becomes a regular he can fill that role). If Marner is getting traded, then he's likely being dealt for a TWD that could fill that role like Shea Theodore, would also be beneficial for the Leafs to send Marner out west if he is dealt.
