shiznak Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 (edited) 9 hours ago, Elias Pettersson said: I don't think he's getting chased off the team. He didn't have a great season and had a worse playoffs. He's getting paid $11 million. Vancouver fans are being just as critical about Petey right now. But Petey isn't technically getting paid $11 million yet. Plus, Petey is actually contributing defensively in the playoffs, is a centre who is over 50% in the dot and seems to be doing more than Marner. Marner is way overpaid as a winger IMO. He's not in the same stratosphere as Kucherov, Pastrnak, Panarin or even Rantanen. Even Nylander is a better overall player than Marner IMO. Marner will definitely want to get out of TO now. He's pretty much a goner anyways next summer as Toronto will need to use that cap space to get a goalie and improve the defence. He didn’t have a great season? He was on pace for another 95+ points this season, while still being one of the better defensive winger in the league. I don’t know where people get this perception that Marner is a playoff choke artist. Marner was 4th on the team in goals expected this playoffs, only behind his linemates this playoffs. So, even though he wasn’t producing points, he was still creating chances for his team. Oddly enough, the person who many thought was the Leafs’ best player, Nylander; was 7th on the team. Since joining the Leafs’, Marner has led the team in points, on-ice goals for (5v5), fewest on-ice goals against (5v5), and on-ice SV%, in the playoffs (amongst the forwards). But of course, he’s the scapegoat because some “hockey analysts” only looks at the point numbers and a few clips of him avoiding hits. Calling for his head.

DrJockitch Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Utah has a need and some great pieces to move. I would be demanding that massive Russian D man they drafted last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrJockitch Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Sounds like Bernie has been a done deal for a few days. Can’t believe they kept Shanahan. 10 years of his imbalanced lineup. And he still has a job. Not as bad as Benning but he needs to go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounded like a coach who was trying to get the team to listen, but they won't. This is a real unpopular take. But I think Matthews is a not a team guy. Look how much better the Leafs played when he was out of the lineup. Matthews might be super talented. But his ego gets in the way. He seems to be great in the regular season. But he won't commit to being an all around player. His extension alone kind of supports that 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The challenge I see with Marner is that he was given that crazy AAV and likely won't want to see a decrease in AAV on the next contract. Solid player (and I think he would be a better player on a team with more structure) but not at that cap hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
