This is such a horrible take. We still have no idea what lies in store for Boucher. This Marner hate is just ridiculous, what does this team benefit by trading him? Just ride out the last year of JTs deal, this isn't the end of the world. Marner is the second best player on this team. Trading him would be a ginormous mistake. Can the team benefit from trading away Mitch? Absolutely, but does trading away Mitcth guarantee we will be better? Not even remotely. In fact, it's more likely we become significantly worse. There are ways to build out this roster even with Mitch.
Cap flexibility to build a proper contender
Have we not figured this out 3 guys making double digits does not work and come next year unless something changes were gonna have 4
53% of our Cap is gonna be spend on 4 forwards.
We have enough of a sample for Marner to know he get yah to the playoffs but then fumbles in the big moments especially when things get physical
BOS series last season, FLA series, MTL series, CBJ series all taught us that
Trading him would not be a ginormous mistake thats the bad take here. Were so scared of change we would rather keep these guys and give them big fat contracts then try and trade them and explore something new
No no change is bad lets keep everyone around and give them more money despite the results
We are ****ED
As letting him play out this season and walk for nothing is what not to do 101 and after the Gaudreau situation Brad cannot let that happen again. He and the organization need to put pressure on Marner and his camp he does not want to waive fine have fun in the pressbox
