It would be catastrophic if he left.

It would be a massive stain on the Leafs brand.

Agreed. They will move out whoever they have to to get him in. He wants what Matthews got, period. That's all I have been saying and I think it's true. HE will sit and wait until 11.6 x 5 is faxed over. Maybe he would consider 12 x 6 but he wants what Matthews got bottom line.

Marleau & a 1st makes me happy.
The 1st for JTM is a wait & see.

Thanks Lou

People just need something to be outraged about to feel relevant. This is what the sjw crowd is doing to everything, it’s all hyper-partisan. It’s the Derps who are the backbone of this Marner hate. They don’t want their Willy to appear “lesser than” the other 3 guys. It’s really just hysteria. There’s all kinds of it online now.

If you take his averages he is a 20 goal scorer at his highest shots on goal combined with his average 10% shooting. The 60 points he got is what he is. Nothing more. I never got the hype.

I agree, except that I think he’ll budge and take 11x5...

I think Dubas is smart enough to do whatever it takes to keep him, including moving Willy.

Didn’t read it.

But I wouldn’t bet on the last couple brain cells he has, to be an effective player.

He’s going out like Kyper, KO’d in a pool of his own blood.

I'm not trying to "troll" I'm genuinely shocked at this piss poor management of a top-10 important franchise in the NHL. It doesn't make any sense.

Depends on how long you think a rebuild should take & when time to change gears.
Have you checked out our prospect pool?

IF the club doesn't give Matthews 5 years then Marner has no argument to get 5 years. Marners fault, he's greedy.

I wish we could afford players like beagle, schaller and leivo

Leivo's a top six on Vancouver

Don’t hand out 10m+ contracts

Yes because EP will take less then that at the rate he is going

Good luck with that, until the league catches the Canucks cheating again as they did with the Luongo and throws another recapture penalty right up your ass.

Salty much lol
Lets talk about your old regimes over 10-20 dozens of beers ok

Yes I have. The overlaps of useless vets really doesn't make much sense unless the plan is to plug them in in 2 years and leach 13th overall picks. Unless they LTIR and Hossa jock itch everybody like you suggest.

Never was & still isn’t.

All sizzle no steak.

He doodle-bugs around out there until he gives the puck away. If he’s playing with Matthews, his job is to get him the puck, he shouldn’t try to always be the hero.

Thanks Lou

Always sucks what an outgoing GM leaves unless its Bowman 😂

Right but he is still going to be paid so what was the point in saying don’t sign guys to 10+ mil contracts when you guys will be doing the exact same thing?
