Or maybe Marner isn't too happy with GM strategy or Coach handling him or teammates efforts..?
We really don't know.
I agree it's way too early to focus so much on Marner - all of Provorov, Aho, Tkachuk, Point etc. aren't signed either..

If a team comes in at like 10.5 for 5 years and he signs it then match and trade him to Phoenix. (frank) marner.
- HealthyScratch6

Can’t match and trade, match and he can’t be traded for 1 year I think.

It's bush league having dreger so obviously negotiate publicly for him.

Marner should be embarrassed and dump his agent.


If he does sign with the leafs using dreger as his his agent, i hope never to see an A on his jersey.

- Tumbleweed

Dreger has put quite a lot into this, which i don't mind because he usually talks like a politician. There's usually no substance to the sentences he's saying.

Well here's what we know...Team X is looking to strengthen their forward group, but don't count them out adding a D at the deadline because you can't have too much depth when heading to the playoffs.

I know the management group have sat down over the last few weeks and identified potential targets, but they'll only do it if it makes sense.

I spoke to a team executive yesterday and the thinking around the league is that team X are going to be active, but as you know, in this league, things can change in an instance, so we'll see, but talks with definitely pick up the closer we get to March 1st.

Gave up 250 “shots against” less compared to the Leafs, defence 1st Jersey style hockey.

Did they spank us every game this year or did we win 1 or 2?

I doubt it. For what doing what they want?
- Fakepartofme


THere's been too much backlash. And it's not like Bob Mackenzie is doing this. It's not good having so many people say they are tuning out because of Dreger.

I didnt think they looked good last year.

Dreger is a piece of sh!t, if people would stop acknowledging him, his tweets etc, he'll lose followers, post and hits.....then hopefully fade away.

They have a lot less talent though. How often do hard-working teams that surprise repeat that?

They have so many UFAs.

Its funny, all the expert posters on here are so sure hes turned down this amount or that amount.
Maybe irs not just about the money.
Maybe its term
Maybe he wants lock out protection
Maybe he wants it structured so hes taxed less
Maybe he wants what little willy got, a huge amount upfront.
Chill people.
NO SUPERSTAR RFA HAS SIGNED YET.
He has a right to this process.

- Fakepartofme


I'm relaxed. I don't care if he signs or we get picks.

He has a right to this process, and fans have a right to express their opinions of him, his team, his dad, Dreger, the process etc. We have the right to speculate, and suggest how we would like to see things handled...

What the (frank) other discussions do you expect to see on the Leafs thread right now?

Take your own advice, chill, or just stop reading and commenting.

A lot can change for sure.
For me, as of now, not predicting anything.
They could add, lose players....we'll see. Too early to tell imo.
Thats all im saying.
Besides, depending on how things turn out, the leafs could be worse. Who knows. We'll see

who should be Leafs' backup goalie next season?
what D-men could Leafs trade for?
etc.
