And that includes TSN (TorontoStupidityNitwits). They seem to always be wrong about everything.

Better than missing the playoffs for 11 years like they have done in the past.

@@STONE69_ I guess accepting playoff failure is the new seasonal depression

@@shawn4white more to life than following a couple of hockey teams LOL. If they win or they lose, who cares? The players are the ones that are most effected from the loss...If they do win a Cup, will it change your life? Will your life be any better?? Of coarse not, thats because you really don't win nothing, they do, not you.

@@STONE69_ oh no it won’t effect my life at all, being a fan of any team doesn’t really reward you with anything meaningful. There’s better things to do with your free time too than watch your favourite sport teams.

Phoque he is not worth the cost

Losing him for nothing makes no sense

@@jred1817 Keeping him when he has a no trade no move clause and has made it clear he's not leaving makes no sense when he CONSTANTLY UNDERPERFORMS in the playoffs and I would argue cost us this year.

I think if he plays bad he'll get buried in the lineup to the point where he will want a trade...

@@Mrvegas6666 thats the thing though. he DOESNT play bad in the regular season but then disappears in the Post season.

@@davidfitzpatrick6535 to bad, they signed that contract. They must fulfil it as it were years past. Otherwise Marner could Sue for large$$$$

No one wants the Leaf players - all chokers.

shanny also screwed up by not green lighting a marner trade before last years july 1st

Top 4 is fixed. Tanev and Reilly great combo, Benoit and mc cabe great combo. Good mix of offensive and shut down. Hope the 3rd pairing can do their job. Their defence is fixed, idk if you thought we’d land prime shea webber but you gotta draft those guys, younger good defencmen don’t get let go often

@@NickRants This is not Stanley Cup level. Marner, Tavares are dead weight 20 million plus. Mathews is a big wimp and Nylander is good but not great. This team sucks.

@@robbryce4884 Tavares isn’t dead weight, just not worth 11 mil. Mathew’s has the best shot in the league and marner is one of the best playmakers. Nylander doesn’t go into corners well but he’s a very good player elsewhere. They can definitely win a cup. They took multiple conference champions to game 7 round one losing by a goal. Teams very close, defence finally looks strong

@@NickRants Yes, you are correct that Tavares isnt dead weight, hes a solid player but no where near 11 million, so for that reason the money is dead weight. Mathews has a great shot but in the playoffs they get someone on him who keeps him from getting into position, hes big and not that fast. He is NOT a playoff performer. Period, and dont argue that because his record speaks for itself! Nylander is all flash, he cant be physical enough to make a Cup run, no chance and dont even start with Marner. AND THATS THE CORE 4!!! Come on man, its long past time to face the facts. Defense is all right now, but nothing great and Woll needs to stay healthy. This team sucks!!!

@@robbryce4884 the core is offensively strong, marner and Mathew’s are great defenders… they just don’t body check as much. Problem with Mathew’s was coaching, they couldn’t figure out plays to get him open and in good positions. Nylander isn’t good defensively, however he makes up for it with offensive talent. Tavares isn’t worth 11 mil but it’s the price we paid for when he was a 100 point player. You can’t get that much better with his money off the books anyways. He is still top 20 centres in the league. I’d love to see kadri back, he’d be what we need second line centre and move Tavares to third line where he thrives

Which ones? Baseball sucks to watch except for playoffs. Same for football. Basketball is unwatchable(not just because of its NHL-lateral schedule). Soccer is good for maybe a 20 second highlight package. Golf is the only other sport that a guy can watch

robertson a crucial signing? Hes looking elsewhere!

Minten and Cowan have 4 years before we have to give a contract, knies is closest and a must sign. Cap will probably jump a lot by that point.

If they lose fans than they're just Marner fans, not leafs fans

@@jennatolls7424 @bjryan9296 the leafs fanbase is a cult of idiocracy lol. just as dysfunctional as leafs management and MLSE.

No trade clause and a handy after ever period.

Would be great contract for the Leafs but may be insultingly low offer for a player of his quality.

@@skeptic10 Are you his Agent? Does he drive a line? What personal and team awards has he earned? Mitch may think he is a Gawd. But he ain't.

​@@skeptic10get off the drugs. 😂

What???​@@skeptic10

Talk about the Leafs=many clicks. Talk about other teams, not so much.

wrong: A doctorate is the highest degree you can earn in an academic field or profession.

Tavares' contract will be gone too. That opens up 22M for the Leafs. Shesterkin and Rantenan are UFAs next July

You forgot to mention disappearing act in one round of playoffs.

Cheaper? He’s already overpaid, soft as baby poo, a big immature whiner, and a proven elimination game choker. Don’t quote his stats to me. He fails the eye test… and with Matthews on his line his stats are inflated.

@@i.p.knightly149 why did he disappear? #1 He was still not fully recovered from his injury. #2 Willy was dealing with Concussion symptoms(he was seeing double) #3 Mathews was very sick with a virus. ...So you and your misinformed buddies, know absolutely nothing about hockey.

@@STONE69_ I'm not an expert like you... at making excuses The Leafs are the only team in the nhl that deals with injuries and sickness, I know. Why did they lose to Montreal after leading 3-1? Why did they lose to Columbus? Why do they always choke against Boston? Why do they always choke period? Keep those excuses rolling, it must be a full-time job. This core SUCKS.

@@i.p.knightly149 bro you are living in a fantasy world. This is a 10th place team. Compare this lineup with the very top teams, there is your answer lmao!!

8x12 mil, otherwise he walks with nothing in return, huge setback for this team. Will miss the playoffs for years to come.

@@STONE69_ marner isn’t the end all be all on this team. Mathew’s gets him a lot of points because his sniper shot is unreal. They did very well without him when he got injured and domi did well. I’d give him 9x8 at most. When it comes to trading him you won’t do it for nothing, you’d do it for a good offer. Personally I’d get kadri and a defender. I’m also bias cause I loved kadri and think he’s exactly what we are missing. If marner leaves so be it, we have him for his contract year where players usually do very well.

@@NickRants Just saying, when Marner walks and JT turns to dogsheit, this team is done. Mathews being American, will demand a trade and its over.

@@STONE69_ Mathew’s is locked down, if he demanded a trade anytime soon we would be getting one of the biggest trade packages of all time. Tavares is on his way out but I’m confident he will take a huge pay cut to stay here and help the team. Tavares isn’t a good 2nd line centre but he’s a very good third line centre which will give us depth. If marner walks we got 11 million more to work with. That’s why I’d try and do a trade involving marner and kadri cause he’d be perfect second line centre( I doubt marner would wave to go to Calgary but you never know) Marners great but he’s expensive and the way we are built we cannot give another 11+ million to a winger. Dubas caused this by giving a restricted free agent all that money. If marner cared he’d take a pay cut

yep and people pay tons to watch and support it?

obviously, if they make the playoffs

You seam confident, they will make, like they get a free pass lmao. It doesn't work that way, they have to earn it. Injury can easily derail those dreams.

Boston and Florida are the two teams to beat to make it out of the Atlantic. Their team (with the fluff four) will not make it past the 2nd round Same as last year and the year before that , etc, etc .. One playoff round win in 20 years . Absolutely brutal!

Stupid post.

Marner will walk and become the most hated leaf off all time🤣

If Marner leaves, so do the playoffs.

@@johnsummerhill8323Leafs fan are too emotional to see clearly... I'm a Leafs fan, but IK it's none of the players faults. They have absolutely shit D for years... There's nothing you can do with a flimsy D line in the playoffs. The contracts are too stacked up front for sure, but that's not Marner's fault. People act like he wouldn't be a lock on the first line of Team Canada with McDavid if they went to a tourney right now. Can't blame Leafs fan really, same shit over and over again.

LOL

Cap space for what? Name the star players you think would play in Canada.
