I think he's already adjusting. He's only just traded for his first ever Danish goalie recently.

Gotta love Sportsnet. Nothing going on, no news, Leafs are too quiet for their liking. BAM..... let's start a controversy before anything has happened.

God bless the Canadian media.

Seems harsh....but.... when in Rome.

I dont know. Feel like if he gets hit mid ice, he's gonna shatter, and you know he'll be hit mid ice at some point during the season.

Leafs dont have big bodies to protect him with, either. I'm not too sure about him.

then again, playing 10-15 minutes per night vs adults, to start off with, might be a good challenge for him vs playing 20 minutes with kids

just keep him away from behemoths like Gionta, should be OK

This has been bugging me since I first saw it, how does a guy win CHL player of the year, yet only rank as an OHL second team all star?

Wait a second....

Guess it was a mistake, OHL says he made the first team as a RW.

Marner has an idea of what to expect and how to move forward, and that’s what he focus’ on

focuses* Why I haven't been hired yet to be an editor on this site is beyond me.

Maybe we should keep the matches in our pockets for now. The last goalie that played well in Toronto was a drunk.

I’m hoping a soulless goalie is the way to go.

As long as the first soul that he steals for his own collection is Steve Simmons

He seems more like he’s a few sandwiches short of a picnic.

Ewww….i got this dirty greased stained image of simmons' soul in my head now. Thanks.

Give him time, there no point rushing him. When he's ready there will be no discussion on the blogs, it will be.......Marners playing for the Leafs this year not, will he, could he!

Found a picture of Polak protecting Marner on the ice

HOLD THE CREASE! HOLD THE CREASE!

It would be great for him to go down to the OHL and play 30 minutes a night taking 2 minute shifts playing all 2 minutes of power plays and just torching the league for like 150 points against kids again. I'd be disappointed if he made the Leafs and started playing under that 8 million dollar coach the leafs got and to start living and playing the professional game. Maybe next year he will have put on another 5 pounds and he can start to play with the Leafs then..

Let's see how this year's camp/exhibition games and maybe 9 NHL games go first. Last year's camp for him was not great, as he seemed to have trouble adjusting to the lack of room/time he had, and that was mostly playing against the other team's rookies and AHL players.

I also hope he gets reasonable linemates in the rookie and exhibition games, as he needs players that can think the game at the same speed as him. Will be interesting to see if he gets paired with Matthews from the get go, or if they keep them split up.

Unfortunately we still have 2 months to go before any of this will play out.

So Marner's going to get a poop ton of assists.

Can we give them a name like the M&M line?

If the line is Matthews, Nylander and Marner one day, then it'll be the MNM line
