Value of: Mitch Marner this offseason (2.5 mil retained)

[Galaxydoggystyle]

Everyone is real quick to give shit to Marner for Leafs not performing in the playoffs, but the truth is he has has 11 goals, 39 assists and a plus-minus of +10 in 57 games in the playoffs in his career.

Which other team has a player with similar stats in postseason, while being a 100point player in the regular season that fans will say "yeah ship him out, hes the problem"?

Im not saying Leafs should continue with their initial plan moving forward, but people suggesting Marner is some kind of bum who has no value are just batshit crazy. If Red Wings got Marner i would be just f***ing laughing and dancing around with joy, dude is one of the best wingers in the world.

Edit: Not for 14million or something absolutely ridiculous that Toronto probably offers him, but like in normal numbers.

8x10 for Marner, yep lets do it Stevie.

Know what those numbers don't show? How many crucial penalties he got. How many times he flipped the puck over the glass at a crucial time and got a penalty destroying any chance the Leafs could have at winning.

I think you're missing a big part of the rationale; The Leafs have proven year after year that having 4 forwards eating half their cap space simply doesn't work.

Now that Nylander is locked in at $11.5M that's one 10M+ winger too many if Marner wants to extend, so even if Tavares is not extended or given a much smaller deal after next season this formula is a bust.

One simply has to go and even if it's based solely on the fact that he's the one that doesn't have a new deal yet, then so be it. But his playoff performance overall (especially this year) vs. Willie's seals it.

True, but it’s still going to be nearly impossible to trade Marner. And if that impossibility does actually happen then will the return increase or decrease the Leafs’ chances of winning? What cannot happen is what Treliving did to the Flames with the return for Tkatchuk. Better to take no contracts back and clear Marner’s cap.
