It will always amaze me how Leafs fans find a way to hate a top 5 scorer in the league, and the guy that has lead our team in scoring for 3 of the last 4 seasons.


Could you tell me what Marner's 'puck over the glass/60' is? Maybe 'crying in the playoffs/60' as well

This would’ve been good for 4 years until he expires as an RFA and he gets a raise in his prime

Svech is a stud-muffin, Puzzling how the canes front office can swindle this move but then make the trade with Ned...

How much it will effect Kaprizov contract negotiations? Svech and him in my opinion quite similar players.

Marner put up significantly better numbers than svech ever has. It's not particularly comparable.
And I'm saying that as the guy who's been ragging on marner long before it was cool.

It was always cool

It very much was not. Huge sections belived (and many still do) that marner is as good or better than matthews. That all flipped the instant the contract (that they were advocating for) was signed.

Fans of other teams were the most egregious examples of gassing him up, only to flip sides after the contract they so vehemently said he earned was signed.

Overshadows all the (IMO) wrong doings of Waddell this offseason


This is a front office that prioritizes massive, long-term wins (getting Svech and probably Necas locked in for nearly a decade at a contender's discount) over short-term splashes. Yes, it does lead to occasional pains and losses in UFA, but still, it's not a bad way to run a payroll.

His buyout is super cheap! And has a negative cap hit for 3 years. I say buy him out!

Hell no. You sign this deal to contend for Stanley Cups with Svech in tow for the whole decade.

It's easy to understand. The front office thought that Ned was a huge regression risk based on a prior track record in the AHL. They preferred veterans with a solid history at goalie instead. Waddell even said as much in interviews before UFA day.

Because Leafs fans always make it about themselves. It'll be that way as long as their faves don't make it out of the 1st round.

Actually it's because the Leafs could buy out your team twice over. I'm sorry my team is more popular than yours.

Definitely should've gotten a higher AAV for a long term. Good for Carolina.

Looks like an Islanders fan that was initially ragging on Marner?
