Problem is...well Marner has converted more than Matthews. The superstars of Toronto all have been a disgrace and that's why they are losing. Trading marner would be stupid.


If this team isn't built to win in the playoffs, they need to make a major trade. If Matthews, Marner, and Nylander are all off the table, that leaves Tavares as the only viable option.

If I were Dubas, I'd be all ears for Marner offers (They won't trade him though). If they lose in game 7, something big will need to happen though.

Nylander for Pesce was probably the #1 trade on the AGM in the history of this site.


You clearly didn’t see the 1 million Kerfoot and Dermott for Weegar trades.

IM just not going to argue anymore.

No matter what I say, or how many valid points I bring up, you're going to pick out all his faults and ignoring all his strengths and BLATANTLY disregarding all the good things hes done.

Again, no matter what i say, you have your mind made up that marner isn't worth it and that hes overpaid and should be gone.


Marner is overpaid. But, I still believe he's too valuable to trade at 75% value. Would I trade him for Miro? Yes. Would I give up on him for anything less out of frustration? Not a chance.

Dubas should be fired. I would never allow him to re-construct the roster that he built in the first place.

Lol this thread is funny. Marner hasn’t been great these playoffs and has made some bonehead plays, but he’s created lots of chances and has made some great defensive plays that have gone unnoticed, he’s just not converting. Saying he’s been bad for 15 straight playoff games shows me your just looking at the stats sheets. If I remember correctly him and Matthews were very good in the playoffs last year they just didn’t get any help. I sure hope he starts to convert his chances, as he’s had a lot of them, so everyone will shut up about trading him, such recency bias.

These are my thoughts. If the Leafs lose tomorrow, the big 4 WON'T stay together. The Leafs have to make a big move. Someone will get moved. Tavares is the captain and has a NMC so he won't get moved. Matthews is the best of the 4 so he'll stay. It's either Marner or Nylander. However, I don't see a big trade market for Marner. Almost 11 million for a winger that cant perform in the playoffs. I don't think teams would be willing to pay the price for Marner or be able to afford Marner.

He built this team. It's impossible to see a core player traded and Dubas keep his job. He bet his career on Marner, JT, Matthews, and Nylander. If Marner (or any of the core four) gets traded for less than full value, Dubas is finished. How can Marner be the problem and not Dubas when he paid him $11M to win the Cup?

My point is that if this roster is re-constructed, it should not be done by the guy who built it inn the first place. That would be acknowledging failure and then allowing it to persist.

Nah what stands out is that Subban got on the cover of NHL 19. Has Makar ever made a cover? No.

It’s pretty crazy to go from Hughes vs Makar as the hot topic all last season and now I doubt it’s even a debate. Makar is going to be the reason Canada would/ could win Gold.

That was a tough loss today. We gotta win the next game or else it'll be tough to dig our way back into the series. Well played by Tampa, but that GWG by Goodrow was super cheap. I could see us giving Mrazek a look for next game. Ned is gonna bust at some point, and besides, the dude needs a break.
