Thread: My Gord Miller like solution with a twist
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Liamthepro</b></div><div>I like the team, like the Marner signing even though his value is inflated by his holdout.
The trade is really not good, because I disagree strongly with your opinion of those two great young players. The Leafs lose that trade by miles, guaranteed.</div></div>

The signing is garbage he's not get 9.5M (that's Kucherov money) while not giving up any UFA years and can we stop calling it a holdout, it's August so it's at most a negotiation at this point. Also holdouts are people withholding their services while being under contract, think Le'veon Bell in the NFL last year, the most Marner can do is sit out this season, which would be dumb because he a) say what it did to Nylander's season last year and he saw people like the thread starter turn on him because of it.

Thread: Should the leafs have signed Tavares
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LoganOllivier</b></div><div>Marner scored at a higher than a point a game pace in the 2017-2018 season during the second half when he was put on Kadri's line. Literally everyone is forgotten or are willfully ignoring that. Obviously Tavares is better than Kadri but the whole Marner is nothing without Tavares stuff is just ignoring facts.</div></div>

Who said he's nothing without Tavares? All I said is he's significantly better with him, but if you want to talk about offensive production by Leafs players lets dive into last season's stats; Matthews generated the 3rd most goals scoring plays in the league behind McJesus and Crosby, Tavares generated them at the 12th highest level, just ahead of players like Aho, Nylander slid in at 22nd, and Marner was 26th, so while everyone is questioning the Tavares signing because of Marner's agent and dad's unreasonable contract demands, keep in mind he's still arguably only their 4th best 5v5 offensive player...
