Sometimes Marner tries to overthink things rather than just make the simple plays and we can see it happening. Hes trying to be magic boy but Florida putting 2 guys on him and its causing turnovers and issues for us. He just needs to simplify things


He does this everytime the pressure ramps up. Dude cannot handle the lights of toronto. No matter what happens we need to be open to moving him for someone who doesnt self sabotage themselves when we need them most

Trust me moving Marner would be the biggest mistake in Maple Leaf history

He is the Leafs best PKer, has set up numerous goals in both series, and has done his job. Looking bad one game and someone going trade him is just silly talk. Hes one of the best RW and makes the C's he plays with better. U want to build around guys like that not move em. Simplifying his game will help

Im not suggesting we trade him for nothing.
I am suggesting we be open to moving him for a tkachuk like player.

Im sure Mitch will do well playing somewhere that no one cares about - but he continues to hurt us when we need him most in Toronto

No. If u want that move Nylander

As Marners our best PKer is one of the league's best Pkers

Being top 3 in Selke nominee with Bergeron aint something to move away from

Then no need

If anyone of the big 4's moving its gonna be Willy or Matthews if he doesnt agree to an extension

Moving Marner for a Tkachuck like player wont shift the needle one could argue it would make em worse.

Moving Willy for a player like that while keeping Marner is the way

Your trying to say moving Marner for a tougher player makes sense it doesnt

Marner's a rare player in todays league moving him for someone a little more physical and ratty is just silly. Top 3 in Selke nominee with the greatest Selke guy Bergeron aint nothing

Ahm.

Tkachuk like player means "really ****ing good and à play driver"

Stop adding stuff that was never said and then getting mad about it.

You cant build around a player who plays like **** under pressure

Two meh games under pressure does not mean trading. He was fine in Tampa when there was arguably more pressure. We have seen him grow and adapt and he will overcome this as remember 3 years ago how he was in playoffs. He has grown since then
