Thread: Marners got the Blues
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AC14</b></div><div>I haven't ran into a single Blues fan on this forum that wants to trade Parayko.</div></div>

Well, yeah, because there are like 4 Blues fans on this website lmfao. A good chunk of the fans on here are Leaf fans.

And go my goodness god forbid people make mock trades on a mock trade website.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mokumboi</b></div><div>Exactly no Blues fans have offered Parayko for Marner. Almost none want him gone, and the few who do are the dumbest Blues fans possible, dumber than seems real. Your grasp of factual reality regarding all things Parayko is abysmal, man.</div></div>

Calling your own fans "the dumbest Blues fans possible" over an opinion might be why you're one of this sites most disliked users. Food for thought.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>StDetroitBlueWings</b></div><div>Passion and being competitive and stepping up and doing the dirty work when he needs to. Yeah he was a hot head about 2 years ago. Had what, one instance this season? Maybe 2?

Look at other goalies and they do similar things and theres zero issue and they're 'respected' for standing up for themselves and their team. Binner does it and all hell breaks lose.</div></div>

There's a difference between standing up for yourself/teammates and taking blatant runs, headshots, and high sticks at players.

Suggesting otherwise is just Don Cherry brain rot. This isn't the 90's anymore. If you want to spark your team, you send a 4th line plug to lay a hit. You don't stick a player in the face lmao

He literally just got fined like 2 months ago for high sticking Evangelista in the face lol. Nobody is blowing anything out of proportion, he's a repeat offender. These are recurring instances man. Even other players have spoken out about him.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>StDetroitBlueWings</b></div><div>And Binner is a cup champion being a "hot head". Toronto would be ecstatic to have Binner in goal. Too bad people are still hung up on an empty water bottle</div></div>

Binnington was fine when he won the cup. A little passionate at times, but he just got worse over the years in terms of his anger.

It's not an "empty water bottle". He literally has a history.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>StDetroitBlueWings</b></div><div>How has that philosophy faired so far in Toronto? A whopping 1 round win in how long?</div></div>

Yes, the philosophy of trading for a 6m 30 year old goalie with constant temper issues will solve all of our problems. Sign me up.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>StDetroitBlueWings</b></div><div>It's really just called being competitive and having fire under your butt when the rest of your team doesn't do it. Binner has been solid these last few years, even when he posted a sub .900 just because his defense has more holes than swiss cheese and left Binner out to dry.
Agreed goalies nowadays are too versatile, but he's worth the 6mil and is a proven winner, something Toronto would be over the moon to get.</div></div>

Toronto should not and will not overpay for a goalie that is always in some sort of heat because he has the temper of a 9 year old.

Yeah, getting fined 5k this season for purposely high sticking someone in the face is definitely having a competitive spirit, my bad!

Thread: Lets talk about Marner
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tkecanuck341</b></div><div>To your point, I think a Guentzel-like return is very realistic. Keeping in mind that Pittsburg retained some salary, took back a decent (but arguably overpaid) offsetting player (with term) in Bunting, and didn't get a guaranteed 1st round pick or top quality prospect in return.

I don't think the Kings have any interest in trading PLD, but here's what a comparable deal would look like.

To LA:
Mitch Marner ($2.4M retained, no extension included)
Nick Robertson

To Tor:
Pierre-Luc Dubois
Arthur Kaliyev
Jordan Spence
Francisco Pinelli
2025 2nd (becomes 2025 1st if LA makes SCF)
2025 5th (pick transfers if LA wins the Cup in 2025)</div></div>

I'd take a swing on PLD, because I definitely think he can bounce back to a 60+pt PWF. My only issue with taking him is it's like he plagues every team he goes to. I recently watched a video that details the success of each team he was on when he went to them, and it was interesting to see how negatively he's impacted every team he's been on.

There's no surprise his on and off ice attitude kinda sucks. I like the trade you proposed if PLD wasn't a meat head.
