Honestly why make a comment like this if you plan to leave. He didnt have to say this and could have just said some generic stuff about how well hes plaing. But he went out of his way to compliment the fans, the city, and the team. And the only time I have seen players do this is when they genuinely enjoy playing for a team

Changes could be coming but from this it makes it less likely he is moved

After all Toronto can give him 50+mill in bonus money :p</div></div>

If you trade Marner to pay Matthews, will Matthews really, really enjoy playing in this city. If you don't trade Marner can you afford to sign Matthews. You could trade all three because they are not getting you past the first round. If you don't get past the first round will Matthews stay.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ledge_And_Dairy</b></div><div>That is 5 different stats there and they are some of the best for showing a players overall game.

How can Marner add 25 goals for himself if hes literally only scored 25+ once in his career? That doesnt even make sense. The only thing Marner is much better than Tkachuk at is passing the puck to a superstar goal scorer. Thachuk doesnt even get that option. Tkachuk however is as good or better defensively, way more physical, one of the best in the league in penalties drawn, and an actual team leader. Oh not to mention he is not overpaid[/quote

If Tkachuk is better defensively, they why didn't you show those stats. Marner can actually pass the puck to anyone, he doesn't need a star (career year for Kadri). The two players are not really comparable, they play a different game, but Marner is better then Tkachuk in many ways. I would love to have Tkachuk, but not at the cost of Marner.</div></div>
