Maple Leafs Mitch Marner talk! Trade or stay?

1. I keep hearing we cant lose him for free. Well yes you can and believe it or not it's not gonna be the end of the world. It just depends on how you use the cap space gained and which players you replace him with

2. I recall you reminding listeners a few years ago that the cap should have been 95 to 100 mil but was flat because of the pandemic. Let's keep going now the cap is going up. If you look back at Tampa they had a lot of rookies or cheaper young players that got the work done

3. Marner is going nowhere. The Leafs would be stupid to do it.

4. They ain't trading Mitch. They will resign him by Xmas as he will play hot because it's a contract year. They won't let him walk for nothing. He will disappear in the playoffs next year and the Leafs will waste the Matthews era.

5. Happy belated birthday bro! There's talk of JVR getting signed by the leafs..I wouldn't sign him

6. Why can’t the GM sign Marner for 6 years and trade him on July2nd? It’s the only thing that makes sense. This way they don’t end up with nothing for him. Best thing to do instead of all this useless trade talk.

7. They promised change and they are bringing the exact team back! Nylander has played harder than any leaf in the playoffs goodbye Mitch

8. As always, great content bro. One of my go to Leafs Channels! 💯

9. All of this is irrelevant. He's playing out the year…and the Leafs will let him walk. there will be several UFAs next season to lure to Toronto to frame out the roster better. PLUS, Tavares will take a discount. Marner has ONE LAST Playoffs to show something.

10. The ship on a Marner trade has sailed by now imo, I hope they get an extension done I don’t want to lose him for nothing it will suck. The only way Mitch makes amends with the fans and the city is by taking a pay cut but everyone knows that won’t happen.

11. Leafs are keeping him he's to valuable he's still a great player

12. Marner goes the pressure will be on Matthew and Nylander they will crack

13. You can’t win a Mitch trade because he is over rated and way over paid.

14. no way Benoit is number 7 try #4

15. Marners Value is dropping fast

16. So I have one question. Who is more likely to be the next Jordan Kyrou, 'Selke candidate' Mitch or 'don't try in my own end' Willie?

17. Stay ffs. Trade a hhof in their prime? Ya every team wins dumping a franchise player. Fire shanny and Brad immediatly for fail in building around the core 5

18. From trade rumors Marner to Jets for F Nikolaj Ehlers and F Rutger McGroarty and 1st round pick if true or not we will see?

19. How shitty of a top line would that be marner matthews and skinner lol

20. Seems to me, and this is just my opinion, that this all goes away if Marner says "i am not going anywhere" simple as that. Marner has not been shy about talking talking to the press in the past, so his silence about possibly moving is somewhat strange if he is not willing to move, It would not surprise me if he did move, although it would be to a team of his choice, and he would not do it unless there was a extension at great big dollars on the table before he would agree to go.

21. Tavares for 5-6 million next year??? Like hell. If he wants to finish his career in Toronto, then he better be prepared to take Bergeron money $2-2.5/year

22. I don't care what he does in the regular season. Our team scored the second most in the league last season… how'd he do in the 7 games after the regular season? We can stand to lose some of those points to gain what can work in the playoffs with better defense and grittier forwards.

23. Trade Marner, then when lose in the 1st round next year, then who becomes the new scapegoat. First it was Freddie Anderson then Zack Hyman, now Mitch Marner Go Laffs Go

24. Marner for Crosby

    Leafs win the Stanley Cup

25. How are they going to trade him when marners agent literally made a comment saying how marner intends on playing out his contract in toronto lmao?

26. Marner's agent is driving this and he wants him to go UFA

27. I don't think the Leafs are trading Marner if so it would have most likely happened before now, & if they did have plans to trade him they had better get key players back that will make a huge difference in the lineup otherwise they lose the trade & lose all his regular season points.

    What I believe is gonna happen is they will let Berube work with him see if he buys into what Berube is selling as far as how he wants him to play bit more defensively sound if that works then we all wait to see how he performs in the playoffs if he's still here?

    But just trading Marner for the sake of making a trade & losing it makes the team worse.

    So it is crucial what the Leafs intent is with Marner bc you don't want to let him walk for nothing either once his contract ends.

    At first I was all for trading him after the Leafs got eliminated now my thoughts are this let the Leafs take calls for Marner if something benefits the Leafs in a proposed deal take it to Marner see of he will agree?

    The Leafs have to handle this very very carefully bc if you ruin his confidence this season & he doesn't produce they may be fighting just to get into the playoffs…

    Berube will be the man to handle Marner the right way as it is a clean slate.

    What happens from that point we all will see how it all plays out.

    I personally would bring proposals to Marner at the trade deadline see if it makes sense for both involved & go from there.

    Otherwise he is walking in the summer & the Leafs get nothing back & take another L in contract negotiations.

28. The NHL is rigged.
    Only southern markets win cups.
