Someone remind him that he hasn't scored on the PP in a lifetime and to stop trying to shoot. 🤣

Coach wants him to shoot more....which seems to have screwed up his game.

But Drew got the money for his scoring and defensive play.
Up until last season, he averaged 22 goals a season.
Last year he was on pace for 29 which is an anomaly compared to the other season (1 other at 26)
But when he signed his deal it 19 - 22 goals a season.

As ive said though, I agree he's on a goal scorer cold streak for sure. But he isnt useless.

I didn't say he is useless, I said he's been useless. There is nothing I like about his game so far this year. He's talented and I expect him to pull through. In his salary bracket there's never much rope.

100% of any criticism levelled at Mitch will always be tied to his contract, that's his doing.

I'm watching Zibanejad killing penalties and he didn't need an extra few million to do it, pretty sure he's not from New York either. He may have even signed a contract earlier in his career that he ended up being underpaid on, and he didn't need to fold the team over a barrel to make up for it.

It's easy to blame others but I think the root of his problem is him. He can't seem to figure out that this isn't major junior anymore and the same poop that worked there doesn't work here.

He hasn't scored in 18 straight playoff games.

We can both do this all night.

If he'd live up to his contract there'd be no room for criticism.

Yeah, he should bag some snipes in the playoffs. He'll get a bunch this spring.

While carrying two line mates around the ice. (frank) this argument is boring. Nobody has said anything new in six months

Mitch Marner is the first guy in NHL history to be paid in the top 10 in the league and be immune to questions like why can he go an entire season without scoring a powerplay goal.

Id agree with the above statement if it was his first 82 games and he only potted 30pts.
But he has359pts in 358 reg season games
25pts in 32 playoff games.

So, that doesnt apply man.

Ahhh, conversation hasn't been approved by you again and you're gonna do what you do and be a complete petulant child about it.

Ok
He he probably has 9/10pts in those 18 playoff games.
Dubas paid him...be mad at him. Or lou for screwing him out of his rookie bonus.

Watching Spezza skate, if he wasn't a right shot I could totally see him playing on the top line over Ritchie.

The heck you talking about?

He's a set up guy and several of us have said he should had a goal or two....but its not the end of the world.

Yeah, well, it's not like we had any Marner PP goals to discuss during that time.
