Thread: Marner
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Agent_Of_R9</b></div><div>Tavares has been good and I don’t think the issue with Mitch is his contract, but rather the role he plays is not effective for the team. He always demands to be the puck carrier &amp; tries to draw opposing players to him in hopes to create an opening for teammates, but he doesn’t have the speed or strength to gain separation &amp; always ends up getting picked off in traffic. If he improves his awareness off the puck he’d be a lot more dangerous, IDK if the player is unwilling to adapt or if the coach doesn’t know how to help him.</div></div>

I think the contract hurts in the sense that his 11m takes up space that could fill out the rest of the lineup. For a 80-100 point player it’s crazy that he literally cannot score a powerplay goal on a top 5 powerplay in the league and when he’s not playing, the powerplay looks just as effective. I actually prefer Mitch (who is my fav player) playing with JT, when Mitch and AM are together every night they almost develop a tunnel vision for eachother and makes it easier to defend, I think that’s why when marner is out AM34 looks sooooo dominant.
