No he doesn't. He just skates around like Mason Raymond, but more skilled. AM, Nylander, JT in that order. Marner isn't worth the money based on playoff performance.

Again, you think Kessel alone gets them out of last place?
Did he do it his first year in Toronto?
Yeah I know it was second last place, you have to know that trading JVR And Bozak would have gotten the Leafs a few decent prospects.

300 games 291 points +27

307 games 221 points +12

I know who’d I’d keep, one is known to work hard and back check, 1 not so much.

Who’s trading an elite top pairing D?
- Steven_Seagull

I could look into it and give you an 'educated' guess in a few hours, but I'll leave that up to one of the GM's for a low scoring NHL team looking for a fan favorite

Tanner loves Ellis. Take that as you will.
- Steven_Seagull


Tanner's on his other site pushing for the leafs to trade for Ekblad.

Dermott + Robertson, and then it's just a matter of adding picks and salary until it evens out.

Looool still want Ekblad?

I’d trade them both and get another guy like this:

282 games 158 goals 285 points +37

I think the vote is the edge to Makar.
I have it Hughes. He led the team & had more points & was more durable.

Show us stats, maybe show us goals.
If Marner scores a couple they might be in the playoffs.

I'd love to keep Marner too... But I'm not into having 3 11 million dollar players any more.

I like Marner less than I like Willie + 4 million dollar player.

Probably what happens. Hughes didn’t have sheltered minutes & the cast Makar had. Hughes made the team better & highest scoring rookie D since Leetch & Orr. Imagine if it went 82 games.

That’s fine, if we can trade Willie + and keep Marner get the same D back I’d do that all day every day. Marner brings more IMO, even though he didn’t have a great year.

If the Leafs traded for Ekblad I wouldn't lose my poop. I would prefer to go another direction based him having his own defensive issues + being one hit away from having to play out of a wheelchair covered in drool.

He’s the one setting them up usually.

He’s also the guy the coaches put out against the other teams top line.

Makar was on a 72 point / 82 game pace, while Hughes at 64 point pace.
