Comparing Marner to centres feels weird, because you will prioritize a centre over a winger. Comparing him to Pastrnak and Rantenen makes sense, whereas Barzal and Eichel play different positions and I don't think you can definitively say one over another
Before I went to this, I thought to myself that I'll probably pick Marner most of the time comparing to other wingers. But both Pastrnak and Rants gave me pause and I decided against Marner on both times.
@@mysticsaxophone4181 ha. Its leafs tv. They only picked a couple. Maily east. How about mention these guys also on tsn and not biased and see. Marner is on a team with high end pp and scoring and didnt reach a 100 points. kucherov128, draisaitl105, kane110, gaudreau99, point92, huberdeau92, aho83, seguin80, stone73. Put any 1 of these guys in marners spot and they would all have better numbers except maybe draisaitl and kucherov cause there playing with better players. Marner is good tho. he deserves 10mill. Hes more valuable then matthews imo. Hes a winner an always has been. But tsn is to biased so it ends like this....fuck the leafs
If he wants to compare his asking price to center then lets compare him. I didn't see Marner playing 3rd line C when we needed it... Nylander and Marner are closer in value just because Nylander has C experience
@@waleah4855 if you listened they said these are just the close ones and they hadnt done the west yet. In the full segment before Ferraro they said Kuch etc etc and picked Kuch, those are obvious ones hence they didnt need Ferraro to settle the vote. So how about fuck you and you're non comprehending ass. And only 2 players since 1990 have a better goal per game rate in their first 3 years. Kariya and OV. Ones a hall of famer the other is arguably the NHLs best ever pure goal scorer. There is no way Marner is more valuable than Matthews. Marner had JT Matthews had what this year? A guy who had 1 primary assist in his career in Kap and a rookie or old man Marleau and he STILL beat marner in 5v5 points per minute. Change your name man you cant talk sports.
People who take Marner over Eichel don’t watch Eichel play. Eichel had 201 pts in his last 203 games the past three years on the lowest scoring teams that were awful. Two sprained ankles, always out there against the best dmen. Oh and was the only player to finish in the top 25 without another player to get over 63 Pts. He does so much, I say if Eichel was in Toronto he’d be on a toonie by now. Lol
Problem is... Toronto hasn’t a backup plan B. They commit to an ideal plan A... without the obvious change of players demanding tons of money. They should have a contingent plan somewhere in the works and make a stiff hard call at some point and cut this issue while there is still time
Gene Krobel i say give marner what hes looking for, unless hes just looking to move, which i doubt... then trade nylander... won't happen overnight but it doesn't have to, i don't he think he cares enough, think they are going to regret that deal!
If Marner accepts an offer sheet over $11m then the Leafs should let him walk, take all the 1st rd picks, and use cap space to strengthen the defence. Or maybe sign Kapanen or Johnsson.
Marner has had an outstanding playoff and a mediocre playoff over the last 2. Nothing you say makes any sense because you're an unintelligent waste of life
How does management get this far without locking him up? They probably could have signed him last offseason for 8 x 8. Also, they should have never signed Marleau for 3 years knowing Matthews and Marner were going to be due new deals in two.
That was Lou. He should have signed him at 7 mil and Nylander at 6 mil but he wanted to wait cause he thought their value would drop. He's the one who signed Marleau at 6.25 mil too. He left Dubas with a shit show to deal with.
Mitch take the most money with whatever team gives it to you. There is no such thing as a guaranteed cup anywhere. You may think Im not a leaf but i am and would love him to sign here but if he goes its fine too.
The thing is he’s a fuckin star in Toronto, do you see how many commercials he does, playing in this market will make up for a million or two that he could get else where
There isn't a team in the league that will pay anything close to what the leafs are offering. All this talk about offer sheets is fake news by talking heads to have Toronto fans tuning in to there shows. What organization would make an offer sheet of 11+ for Marner? How many teams are willing to pay Marner 11 million and give up 4 firsts for the privilege. What would that do to their salary structure? Just because leafs are willing to overpay doesn't mean other teams will. He was eleventh in scoring, in what universe is he worth more than all the players ahead of him other than McDavid?.
Marner is my favorite Leaf 9 million 9.5 max are trade for first round picks and a great player in return . Marner could have been crushed a couple of times last year and the opposing players backed off from the check .
Get away from your parents and friends and go do some soul searching Mitch....remember the love of the game and decide where YOU would be happiest and go. You will be successful wherever u go !!!!
Top 5 winger maybe... But you really think he will be top 5 in the league... ahead of McDavid, Matthews, McKinnon, Eichel, Dahlin... Hughes, Pasta, Point, Petterson. He's arguably less value than Barzal, Larkin, Aho. Werenski, Chabot, The only players he should get paid like is Rantanen and Laine. 9m value in this market.
Dan Schaal Dude I'm a jets fan and I think hayes is a great player, but not worth that much. However hayes did get the most points out of any player acquired at the trade deadline. I hope he plays like he's worth 5 million for your guys sake.
Just funny how he wants twice what pasta gets and be the 3rd highest paid player in the league...when he is closer to 30th player in the league than 3rd....
@@danh4435 he can ask, sure but he's dilusional if he thinks he is in the same tier as Matthews and JT. Both are elite goal scoring centres which is way more valuable than a playmaking winger. I love Mitch but JT did his thing before Marner and he could do it without him again. Marner cannot put up 90+ without a JT.
ParadingWolves wtf u talking about. Marner makes everyone good around him. Marner had close to 30 goals. Boston said it themselves only player we worried about was marner. This guy is underrated because he wasn't first overall. Mathews misses 30 games a season lol. Marner shouldn't take a discount he should get what he deserves. The man had most points two consecutive years as a leaf. Highest points. That doesn't just happen. We won't find another like marner but we can find another like Mathews easily.
Here's how another team creates a dilemma for Leaf management: offer him what Mathews got - 5 years @ 11.6. He signs the offer sheet and what do Leafs do? It's more than they want to pay, and worse, if they match, Marner and Mathews become UFAs at exactly the same time.
I think the point was to show that TOR overvalues Marner, but these guys made it worse! Even debating Pastrnak or Eichel being less than Marner?! MacKinnon?! As a wild/sharks fan I dont have a team bias, but WOW do they love Marner
@@hockeyislife4122 idk, I feel like you have to consider who he's around too. If Eichel had JT, Matthews, Nylander, Kapenen etc.... theres a reason like 70 of Marners points are assists
Jvdubz jvdubz I'm not toronto fan so I'm not trying to sound bias, and I agree that marner plays with better players. But if you watch highlights marner is ALWAYS the one driving the play on his line and creating the chances, the fact he has finishers definitely helps.
@@hockeyislife4122 very true, its definitely not to say that hes not great, I just wonder if hes worth THAT kind of money when compared to players making a great deal less but still putting up good numbers, will be interesting to see where this goes!
Eichel isn’t hit or miss, the guy has put up 201 in his last 203 and always faces the best shutdown players, eichels never had a linemate get over 63 Pts!! Eichel is Better it’s not close
Leafs still got Matthews, Tavares, Nylander, Kadri, Rielly. Offense will be fine. Use money to strengthen defence. Pay for Marner's taxi to the airport
Leafs (Dubas) created a huge problem by overpaying Nylander. Now they all feel that is how it works. And Reilly is probably the most important given that D is hardest to find/replace.
Nylander is not overpaid. He signed for market value. And when he scores 75 points next year no one will say a PEEP. Signing Tavares was what changed everything for the leafs. Not to say it was a bad signing, but it really put a wrench in the 5 year plan the leafs had.
@@Gobblerster Lou started to build Leafs after nobody wanted to play for Toronto. Marlou, Matthew, Tavares. Losing Lou, Marlou and Marner would put Leafs back for 15 years.
I really don't know why people say Dubas overpaid and caved in got Nylander. Remember his comparables are in the $6-7 range while Nylander camp was seeking Drasaitl money (8.5 per season). Ultimately Nylander signed much closer to his comparables and what the Leafs were initially offering than what he was asking for.
Marner is the flash but imagine people Comparing him to Patrick Kane the guy could score any which way (one timers, slapshot, backhand, wrist shot, snapshot, dekes ect) the guy is 5x Marner aswell as he plays a 2 way game I’d take Kane for 8 years fuck age
Marner has averaged 23 goals a season and has 5 goals in 20 playoff games. He has ONE big season of assists under his belt. Hasn’t won 1 playoff round. I just don’t get the obsession. He’s a great player, not a superstar. He’s played 3 full seasons and the team hasn’t went anywhere. He’s been decent in the playoffs, but not a player that puts a team on his back and carries them. 7 million is about right for his numbers.
FE4R x DEMoN maybe so. I can see 8 or even 8.5. But anything over 9 is too much IMO. He’s not a center and has a career high of 26 goals in a season. The obsession just doesn’t add up.
Not his fault his team can't get past the first round, you shouldn't put that on Marner it's a team sport. Not one player can carry his team to a championship. He's an elite player and will be for year's to come. As a Leafs fan he has definitely carried the offence through stretches like the 18 season when Matthews got hurt. He was our best forward in the 2018 playoffs. He was arguably the leafs best player this season. And he deserves way more than 7 million especially when you see lesser players like Hayes and Skinner get a big payday. He deserves 8-9.5 mill overral.
Marner was imo..mvp..last year.. they tried to punk him down to a martyr role at negotiation beginnings.... dump.. Nylander then ...and PAY Marner what he deserves..
Kuznetsov over Marner, very easy. Marner over Pastarnak by a little. Barzal and Marner is a wash. Eichel over Marner. Mackinnon over Marner every single time.
Interesting cause numbers wise its very close, but the deciding factor could simply be age. Also you could say Marner does have better talent around him were as Johnny carries Calgary offensively.
@@JasonBlackburn_02 That's cuz the isles are defensive minded team, and barzal basically had to carry the team. If you watched the islanders at all you'd see barzal basically dominated TOP and just in general when he was on the ice. Barzal aint a primma donna like marner
There seems to be this big debate amongst leaf fans on whether or not Marner is more valuable than Matthews and if he’s worth Matthews money. Hearing these guys chat and compare marner to these other players is interesting. If they were comparing Austin Matthews to these other guys and who they would take for eight years, I wonder who they would pick then 🤔 I have a feeling I know who and there likely wouldn’t be hesitation. And I just feel that most experts and GM’s would probably feel the same way. Marner is unbelievable and worth a lot of money, but I think him and his camp are playing hardball for more than they deserve, he’s just not worth Matthews money.
@@JaneNayes how so ?? please give me your wisdom oh great one on how the wonder of EP exceeds Marner. I wait in great anticipation because there are no wiser hockey sages than those who cheer for the Canucks, Please, teach me.
@@Alexandros.Mograine Barkov is very smooth and controls the puck well, very Mario/Malkin like. I still have to give the edge to McKinnon as he's the only player I've seen since Sid that can play like him.
I feel the same, the rumour I heard was an offer sheet for 11m from the islanders. 4 unprotected firsts from a team that is not at all guaranteed to make the playoffs is definitely worth it in my opinion
marner is actually the best player between matthews, nylander and himself. he plays with heart, sacrifices his body, kills penalties, and gives you over 1 ppg and dubas completely fucked himself up with matthews and nylander contracts, both with less heart and doesn't know how to play in their own zone. marner thinks he is just as worthy as matthews and i don't blame him. he's the type of player who helps you win in the playoffs.
Matthews bc position matters and elite goal scoring is more rare/more valuable, and Matthews is scoring at the 5th best rate in the history of the nhl throughout a players first 3 seasons (era adjusted). Plus bc throughout their first 3 seasons he lead the team in points per 60 in all of them.
Matthews is also injury prone.... Marner is like a pinball he bounces off of everywhere.... if these guys don't win a cup with this current roster in the next 5 years.... then they never will again. That Ballard ruined it all for this franchise. MLse is already rich anyway
if the leafs pay Marner any more 9 million $ pre year. there all a bunch of rejected retards . trade for first round picks . i do like Marner . but not enough to han-cuff the leafs for years . this will tell how smart, or stupid . Shany and Dabus are .
The leafs fans that were crying when the isles fans gave Tavares a bashing when he went back to NYI, will be the same leaf fans with their pitchforks out crying and barking if marner signs elsewhere . This alone , makes me hope he isn’t a leaf soon lmao
I'm a Toronto fan and tbh I don't mind if he gets offer sheeted. Saves us 11mil plus it gives us 4 extra first round picks. That 11mil can go towards better defensemen. Our offense is pretty set.
marner was a highest scorer on the leaf team, over mathews etc!, over all other players on the team? marner is the scoring COre on the leaf team, if marner were to leave, the leafs and babcock would have to rebuild the whole team. the leafs will not get beyond the playoff first rounds, with the goalies they have, they allowed the best goalie (Macilhenny) go
really bob, you are an absolute idiot!!!! i would hope that mitchy gets an offer sheet at 11,000,000 and leafs walk away and receive 4 1st rounders. with the savings we can get that YOUNG STUD RHD
Everyone saying well Marner hasn’t been past the 1st round but Matthews hasn’t and look at his contract. Marner puts up more points than Matthews and kills penalties
Its not that simple. Marner has Tavares on his line. That accounts for a decent amount of his huge points gain this year. Matthews was injured. Matthews puts up more goals.
Matthew's has a .97 ppg and marner is .93. Matthew's puts up more points and is a top line center. Marner is a winger and should not be the highest paid one in the league.
daniel larkin I’m not saying he should be the highest paid in the league. Also that proves my point more, who cares about PPG all that proves is Matthews plays less games. How is less games played better
@@AL-31 Matthews has had some injury trouble but if he plays a full season and maintains his ppg, he is the better player and should be paid more. Marner wants more than 10.5 million a year whcih means he would be the highest paid winger in the league.
Larkin, no question. It wouldn't be fair to marner if they're comparing contracts too, bc then it's not just Larkin, its larkin + a 50+60 point player to 1 mitch marner contract.
There are only a handful of guys I would take over Marner: McDavid, Crosby, Ovechkin, Gaudreau, Kucherov, Stamkos, Tavares, Matthews. That still leaves him in the Top 10. That's worth at least 10 million dollars - minimum!
@@KDzTrIcKzz I love Pasta, but I view him as the third best player on his line whereas everytime I watch good ole Tronnah play, it seems Marner drives the play whenever he's on the ice, over Tavares, Matthews, etc. I haven't seen him enough to make any concrete judgement, but the only two players that made me hold my breath seemingly every time they had the puck last year against the B's were MArner and Mikko Rantannen
Every GM in the NHL would take Matthews over Marner if given the choice. Matthews is leading the league in goals per game played since he entered it, and is a legit first line centre, playing on the second line and still out pointing everyone.
@@das8771 ... all leaf fans are the same. Know they screwed themselves so they say the dumbest shit. No GM would take Mathews injury prone ass over marner... ever. Lol. Save that bullshit
"Anxiety" over an overpaid athlete? although admittedly he's very good but holy frig it's still just a GAME if your having anxiety over someone who' WILL BE FINANCIALLY SET FOR LIFE and dosent know or care weather you or I starve live or die means your life's priorities are waaay out if line seriously GET A GRIP sports are entertainment not nesessary for survival when children are being killed living on the streets without food terrorists are out there people are being robbed in the house ect and this guy's talking about anxiety on weather or not a player will stay with a particular sports team is an indication of how far away from the reality of what's truly important in our world some of us are!
Hayes isn’t worth the money but he can play defense, offense, PP, and PK. Hayes lost in the first round too just like Marner. 7.14 is a lot but flyers solidified a 2C. Just wait until July 1 Ray
@@Maven01 Good point, I have erased Fergie from my memory. The decisions he made were never great but the teams he put together were fun to watch. Nylander himself could be great, he seems to thrive on the international level, but the whole contract situation, response, and aftermath will haunt the Leafs if this prevents them from building a team. Marleau was a terrible contract, but a great personnel move given his easy going veteran presence. Nylander has no excuse moving forward not to post 60-70+ points.
These videos are so dumb. I hope Marner walks. He’s the leafs best player pay him as so. And I don’t wanna hear he’s not a center. Shift him to the center position and he would thrive... look at Aho.
Mitch Marner will take money over Toronto any day in the week and if you think otherwise you are a fool. I would love to see him sign an offer sheet for like 11 million dollars Maple Leafs will get for first rounders. I would let him walk in a heartbeat
@Chewy Ltd I love John Tavares I think he's a fantastic player. I really think he should have stayed on the island. And I am a Toronto Maple Leafs fan. But my point is, aren't all athletes overpaid. Look at Kevin Hayes, an average hockey player who signed a 7 million dollar per year contract. William nylander makes the same money and he's a much better player. Back in the 1970s and I am dating myself because I am 60 years old. You never knew the salaries of most players. I thought it was so much better that they negotiated based on their own merits rather than based on somebody else's merits.
@Chewy Ltd I've been a leaf fan since 1966 1967. I know all about the Harold Ballard era. That guy was a disgusting human being he should have died in prison. And in the 70s Dave Keon was my favorite Maple Leaf along with Bob pulford. And what Harold Ballard did to Dave Keon was disgusting. I still remember that like it was yesterday. I'm not an Islanders fan but I'm a John Tavares fan. But I like most sports fans know that athletes are vastly overpaid. I think in 10 years time this is going to catch up to the NHL and it's going to come Crashing Down they can't continue to pay these obscene salaries to these overpriced selfish little boys.
Elmer Muff i really like marner too but his size does bother me alot, you look at the playoffs this year, he wasn't much of a factor at all, all its gonna take is one bad hit especially these days, and hes done!!
@@DrunkenGuitarGuy Crosby is 5-11 kucherov is 6 foot 170lbs Marner 6 foot 176lbs I play Hockey 13 years and I drop guy's twice my size to their knees when I hit them! Mentally Tough is enough!
@@elmermuff2150 so he was a factor in the playoffs?? he doesn't go away on the rare occasions it does get physical?? what does you playing hockey have to do with anything?? like i said, i like him, in fact i would pay him almost as much as matthews, but i think he does get intimidated and i believe some of the fancy plays he makes may get his head taken off one of these days, maybe not now with how pussified the game is, but its still a gamble imo
@@DrunkenGuitarGuy 4 points in 7 games a lot of players would like to have that kind of a series! Then if you read what you said? You say Marner is SMALL! Marchand is 5-9. Marner might be a puss and afraid to get hit? You can teach tough he's still young! As far as me playing hockey I said I would hit players twice my size and drop them to the ice. Just like in life I'm only 5-11 and I've had guy's 6-3 start a fight with me because they were bigger then me and I BEAT the living piss out of them! SIZE DOESN'T MATTER!! You can teach MENTALLY TOUGH
lol Mackinnon is a top 5 player in the league. Id take him over any player on the leafs
I say top 3
NyRangersfan1357 But mackinnon is getting up there in age. He's 23 and that speaks a lot about the economics of football.

And it’s just getting started every year in Toronto there’s a word that is in every article it was Nylander now it’s marner lol
How does management get this far without locking him up? They probably could have signed him last offseason for 8 x 8. Also, they should have never signed Marleau for 3 years knowing Matthews and Marner were going to be due new deals in two.

DjVanHeb He has every right! Wtf!
@@danh4435 he can ask, sure but he's dilusional if he thinks he is in the same tier as Matthews and JT. Both are elite goal scoring centres which is way more valuable than a playmaking winger. I love Mitch but JT did his thing before Marner and he could do it without him again. Marner cannot put up 90+ without a JT.
Yeah it's way too much but that's what happens when you overpay JT and mathews by so much
ParadingWolves wtf u talking about. Marner makes everyone good around him. Marner had close to 30 goals. Boston said it themselves only player we worried about was marner. This guy is underrated because he wasn't first overall. Mathews misses 30 games a season lol. Marner shouldn't take a discount he should get what he deserves. The man had most points two consecutive years as a leaf. Highest points. That doesn't just happen. We won't find another like marner but we can find another like Mathews easily.
This interview if nothing else shows that Marner May not be as valuable compared to other stars as one may think
Here's how another team creates a dilemma for Leaf management: offer him what Mathews got - 5 years @ 11.6. He signs the offer sheet and what do Leafs do? It's more than they want to pay, and worse, if they match, Marner and Mathews become UFAs at exactly the same time.
Eichel iz BEAST
I think the point was to show that TOR overvalues Marner, but these guys made it worse! Even debating Pastrnak or Eichel being less than Marner?! MacKinnon?! As a wild/sharks fan I dont have a team bias, but WOW do they love Marner
Jvdubz jvdubz Eichels hit or miss though, depends how he develops. Marners proved what he can do.
@@hockeyislife4122 idk, I feel like you have to consider who he's around too. If Eichel had JT, Matthews, Nylander, Kapenen etc.... theres a reason like 70 of Marners points are assists
Jvdubz jvdubz I'm not toronto fan so I'm not trying to sound bias, and I agree that marner plays with better players. But if you watch highlights marner is ALWAYS the one driving the play on his line and creating the chances, the fact he has finishers definitely helps.
@@hockeyislife4122 very true, its definitely not to say that hes not great, I just wonder if hes worth THAT kind of money when compared to players making a great deal less but still putting up good numbers, will be interesting to see where this goes!
Eichel isn’t hit or miss, the guy has put up 201 in his last 203 and always faces the best shutdown players, eichels never had a linemate get over 63 Pts!! Eichel is Better it’s not close
But if I'm don't want marner at that price tag. He isn't a number 1 guy like ovi he is more like a kessel.
Praise be to The Phil.
8 years at 11 million and not good enough for someone who's won nothing and not even made it past the first round??... See ya
I predict he will be 75 points next year
Tavares won nothing and never made it past the 1st round.
Leafs still got Matthews, Tavares, Nylander, Kadri, Rielly. Offense will be fine. Use money to strengthen defence. Pay for Marner's taxi to the airport
@@ldaws-3912 LMAO, I think they should've never signed Nylander tbh.
@@UBSDREAMZz Nylander is why this is happening. And Dubas was a bonehead for resigning him
Leafs (Dubas) created a huge problem by overpaying Nylander. Now they all feel that is how it works.
And Reilly is probably the most important given that D is hardest to find/replace.
Nylander is not overpaid. He signed for market value. And when he scores 75 points next year no one will say a PEEP. Signing Tavares was what changed everything for the leafs. Not to say it was a bad signing, but it really put a wrench in the 5 year plan the leafs had.
@@Gobblerster Lou started to build Leafs after nobody wanted to play for Toronto. Marlou, Matthew, Tavares. Losing Lou, Marlou and Marner would put Leafs back for 15 years.
Nylander is not over paid. Kevin hayes is over paid, eberle is over paid, Nelson is overpaid, skinner is overpaid.
I really don't know why people say Dubas overpaid and caved in got Nylander. Remember his comparables are in the $6-7 range while Nylander camp was seeking Drasaitl money (8.5 per season).
Ultimately Nylander signed much closer to his comparables and what the Leafs were initially offering than what he was asking for.
Neylander is not overpaid and this season he turns into a pastnerk level bargain
By Ferraro Vancouver had absolutely no chance against st.Louse after they tied it 2-2. Haven't heard much of him since.
I think #16 gets moved Leafs are a day late and a buck short!
8 years in Toronto with the media circus that it is or sign to Tampa or Vegas or San Jose or any other team in the NHL.
Brayden Point
he would be the comparable...but marner was the way better player in junior....
@@jacobbrown1690 and Point is the way better pro 😁
Marner is the flash but imagine people
Comparing him to Patrick Kane the guy could score any which way (one timers, slapshot, backhand, wrist shot, snapshot, dekes ect) the guy is 5x Marner aswell as he plays a 2 way game I’d take Kane for 8 years fuck age
What's the point of this?
spitballing season
Its interesting
Marner has averaged 23 goals a season and has 5 goals in 20 playoff games.
He has ONE big season of assists under his belt. Hasn’t won 1 playoff round. I just don’t get the obsession. He’s a great player, not a superstar. He’s played 3 full seasons and the team hasn’t went anywhere. He’s been decent in the playoffs, but not a player that puts a team on his back and carries them.
7 million is about right for his numbers.
so hes less than skinner..... right....
he's worth 9.5, not 7.
FE4R x DEMoN maybe so. I can see 8 or even 8.5. But anything over 9 is too much IMO. He’s not a center and has a career high of 26 goals in a season. The obsession just doesn’t add up.
Would love to see your team as a GM when u offer that low on players worth alot more.
Not his fault his team can't get past the first round, you shouldn't put that on Marner it's a team sport. Not one player can carry his team to a championship. He's an elite player and will be for year's to come. As a Leafs fan he has definitely carried the offence through stretches like the 18 season when Matthews got hurt. He was our best forward in the 2018 playoffs. He was arguably the leafs best player this season. And he deserves way more than 7 million especially when you see lesser players like Hayes and Skinner get a big payday. He deserves 8-9.5 mill overral.
Marner was imo..mvp..last year.. they tried to punk him down to a martyr role at negotiation beginnings.... dump.. Nylander then ...and PAY Marner what he deserves..
Eichel can turn into a top 3 player in the game
Matthew Tkachuk or Marner?
Depends on what you need.
Marner
Not really close is it though ...
I would personally rather have Tkachuk. 77pts in 80 games last year is nothing to sneeze at. Just my opinion
Hayes at 50 million looks like a value contract now, there is no way the Flyers go as far as they did relying on G and Konecney
how bout now?
@@bofadeese2715 no different, he got 10 less points in 15 fewer games. Not his fault the D and harter collapsed. Next year will be better
Why?
Marner or Eichel?
Not even close, Eichel is a franchise player and Marner is not
Eichel is not franchise. End of story
Franchise player if you never want to make the playoffs!
Interesting comment about Barzal. Didn't realize he doesn't do the PP that much.
I think he said PK
Kawhi Leonard
Kuznetsov over Marner, very easy.
Marner over Pastarnak by a little.
Barzal and Marner is a wash.
Eichel over Marner.
Mackinnon over Marner every single time.
MacKinnon over Marner isnt even close
if these TSN Scribes were any good, some team would put them on the payroll???
Trade him to the devil's for the 1st pick,then take Kakko
Yeah but he trades for new york rangers then they get who devils dont pick i say rangers would do it
nope...no garrantee kakko or huges become 94 point players at 21
.
Just sign the players who are willing to secure a deal, Marner is great, but Marner isnt' everything
Marner or Gaudreau?
Marner
Interesting cause numbers wise its very close, but the deciding factor could simply be age. Also you could say Marner does have better talent around him were as Johnny carries Calgary offensively.
marner is almost four inches taller and just as fast and shifty. marner is also better defensively.
Close but I'm taking Marner
barzal>marner
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH
just remember 94 points . DUMMY
@Joe M barzal 62 points MINUS 6 . HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA Marner 94 points + 22 ! i hope you are drunk bro ! just fucking use BRAIN
@@JasonBlackburn_02 That's cuz the isles are defensive minded team, and barzal basically had to carry the team. If you watched the islanders at all you'd see barzal basically dominated TOP and just in general when he was on the ice. Barzal aint a primma donna like marner
condescendingsmile just cause Barzal never passed the puck doesn’t mean he’s a good possession player LOL
Rattled? Yes I am. Also nauseous...
Rantanin, aho,point,laine,tkachyuk,boser,...all RFA's this year I would take over marner. Marner is overrated hes not a top 5 RFA this year.
Lol always one moron in the comments 🤣
I would take Marner over all of them except for Rantanen
Agreed. Marner is over-rated and soon to be over-paid. Leafs fans are all high from sniffing their own farts.
@@cal8362 point and aho are first line centers, worth way more. Educate yourself.
@@brenden9758 i dont care what their position is, they are not as good. That is like saying Turris is better than Ovi because he is a center, dumbass
Of course Trotz helped Barzal be more responsible look at what he did with Ovechkin.
There seems to be this big debate amongst leaf fans on whether or not Marner is more valuable than Matthews and if he’s worth Matthews money. Hearing these guys chat and compare marner to these other players is interesting. If they were comparing Austin Matthews to these other guys and who they would take for eight years, I wonder who they would pick then 🤔 I have a feeling I know who and there likely wouldn’t be hesitation. And I just feel that most experts and GM’s would probably feel the same way. Marner is unbelievable and worth a lot of money, but I think him and his camp are playing hardball for more than they deserve, he’s just not worth Matthews money.
Marner or Timo Meier?
I would take Meier personally just because of size and strength.
@@thejoel3210 I'm with you about to Timo Meier
meier before marner are you drunk ? marner 94 points and can play on short handed . you are dumb
marner out played timo in the memorial cup game and timo tried to cheap shot him all game. marner also won MVP...
Marner easily
Could Leafs trade Reilly so they can keep both Marner & Willie well pd?
That would be a stupid ass move
Kotkaniemi, Poehling and Andre Shaw over Marner...
all 3 of them are
Andrew Shaw... 😂😂😂😂 He's a goon.
Alzner over Reilly amirite?
Let's go barzy got mentioned
Oilers could use him
marner and mcdavid lol....tear up the league
EP all day over that scrub Marner who plays for the Laffs
You're funny
@@awineguy4715 looks like the jokes on you :)
@@JaneNayes how so ?? please give me your wisdom oh great one on how the wonder of EP exceeds Marner. I wait in great anticipation because there are no wiser hockey sages than those who cheer for the Canucks, Please, teach me.
@@awineguy4715 lol?
McKinnon is the best player in the league now who in my opinion succeeded Sid last year. How any Leaf would even be questioned over him is a joke.
i think barkov is a bit better, tho both are so good that they are so close to each other.
@@Alexandros.Mograine Barkov is very smooth and controls the puck well, very Mario/Malkin like. I still have to give the edge to McKinnon as he's the only player I've seen since Sid that can play like him.
William Stewart sure, i just dont agree
Dubas got burned by nylander hes not getting fleeced again. Marner wants Mathews money but isnt worth it. If I'm dubas I'm welcoming a offersheet
I feel the same, the rumour I heard was an offer sheet for 11m from the islanders. 4 unprotected firsts from a team that is not at all guaranteed to make the playoffs is definitely worth it in my opinion
u will never get another like marner....he will come back and haunt the leafs
marner is actually the best player between matthews, nylander and himself. he plays with heart, sacrifices his body, kills penalties, and gives you over 1 ppg and dubas completely fucked himself up with matthews and nylander contracts, both with less heart and doesn't know how to play in their own zone. marner thinks he is just as worthy as matthews and i don't blame him. he's the type of player who helps you win in the playoffs.
Marner or Matthews? Let me know and why!
Matthews bc position matters and elite goal scoring is more rare/more valuable, and Matthews is scoring at the 5th best rate in the history of the nhl throughout a players first 3 seasons (era adjusted). Plus bc throughout their first 3 seasons he lead the team in points per 60 in all of them.
Matthews is also injury prone.... Marner is like a pinball he bounces off of everywhere.... if these guys don't win a cup with this current roster in the next 5 years.... then they never will again. That Ballard ruined it all for this franchise. MLse is already rich anyway
Matthews
Showtimedave What makes you go for Matthews?
@@jjodoin05 Better goal scorer and he's a centre.
Nail Yakupov. JK
he is not going anywhere, he will be signed, relax...go leafs go
if the leafs pay Marner any more 9 million $ pre year. there all a bunch of rejected retards . trade for first round picks . i do like Marner . but not enough to han-cuff
the leafs for years . this will tell how smart, or stupid . Shany and Dabus are .
The leafs fans that were crying when the isles fans gave Tavares a bashing when he went back to NYI, will be the same leaf fans with their pitchforks out crying and barking if marner signs elsewhere . This alone , makes me hope he isn’t a leaf soon lmao
I'm a Toronto fan and tbh I don't mind if he gets offer sheeted. Saves us 11mil plus it gives us 4 extra first round picks. That 11mil can go towards better defensemen. Our offense is pretty set.
marner was a highest scorer on the leaf team, over mathews etc!, over all other players on the team? marner is the scoring COre on the leaf team, if marner were to leave, the leafs and babcock would have to rebuild the whole team. the leafs will not get beyond the playoff first rounds, with the goalies they have, they allowed the best goalie (Macilhenny) go
Dubas is to blame for this whole mess. The Millennial wonder kid is a horrible GM.
How is he to blame?
really bob, you are an absolute idiot!!!! i would hope that mitchy gets an offer sheet at 11,000,000 and leafs walk away and receive 4 1st rounders. with the savings we can get that YOUNG STUD RHD
Everyone saying well Marner hasn’t been past the 1st round but Matthews hasn’t and look at his contract. Marner puts up more points than Matthews and kills penalties
Its not that simple. Marner has Tavares on his line. That accounts for a decent amount of his huge points gain this year. Matthews was injured. Matthews puts up more goals.
Matthew's has a .97 ppg and marner is .93. Matthew's puts up more points and is a top line center. Marner is a winger and should not be the highest paid one in the league.
rsx123 he was doing it before Tavares arrived. Tavares also had a career year for goals so I would argue Marner made him better
daniel larkin I’m not saying he should be the highest paid in the league. Also that proves my point more, who cares about PPG all that proves is Matthews plays less games. How is less games played better
@@AL-31 Matthews has had some injury trouble but if he plays a full season and maintains his ppg, he is the better player and should be paid more. Marner wants more than 10.5 million a year whcih means he would be the highest paid winger in the league.
Larkin or Marner?
Larkin for sure.
Marner for me, Larkin is very underrated though.
Larkin, no question. It wouldn't be fair to marner if they're comparing contracts too, bc then it's not just Larkin, its larkin + a 50+60 point player to 1 mitch marner contract.
Marner
sens are interested in hainsey
OH NO!! IT'S NEVER ABOUT THE MONEY? THAT'S A LOAD OF MANURE! GET TCKCHUK FROM CALGARY FOR MARNER/???
Marner or Kakko? I'll take Kakko...or Jack Hughes. Let's go Rangers!
Woooosh
Id take hall over marner for 5 years
TO management shills lol the kid is awesome.
There are only a handful of guys I would take over Marner: McDavid, Crosby, Ovechkin, Gaudreau, Kucherov, Stamkos, Tavares, Matthews. That still leaves him in the Top 10. That's worth at least 10 million dollars - minimum!
mostly all centers there, as far as wingers only mackinnon and kuch and kane stand out as better
forgot a few more, Kane, Barkov, Boston's top line, Mackinnon, Malkin, Eichel, Drai, Giroux, and scheifele
Marner or petterson
Let’s wait one more
Year of
EP
Elias Pettersson > Marner
Laine or marner?
Brian Jones marner. Leafs don’t need any goal scorers. Would be Interesting tho
Petterson.
Trade Nylander for Nurse
Marner!!
wtf
Íd take marner over pasta and im a boston fan
Pasta every time.
As a Leafs fan I always saw Pasta as a good player with great line mates, am I wrong?
@@KDzTrIcKzz Pasta would score 30-40 goals with any linemates if also given power play time. He's still underrated and under paid.
@@KDzTrIcKzz I love Pasta, but I view him as the third best player on his line whereas everytime I watch good ole Tronnah play, it seems Marner drives the play whenever he's on the ice, over Tavares, Matthews, etc. I haven't seen him enough to make any concrete judgement, but the only two players that made me hold my breath seemingly every time they had the puck last year against the B's were MArner and Mikko Rantannen
Marner is probably the best Leaf, on a team loaded with forwards.
Every GM in the NHL would take Matthews over Marner if given the choice. Matthews is leading the league in goals per game played since he entered it, and is a legit first line centre, playing on the second line and still out pointing everyone.
@@das8771 Matthews is terrible defensively, however.
@@slew2108 do you have stats on that? Matthew's was very efficient in 2017-2018 based on the numbers
@@Jimmyfly215 His +/- vs Boston this year was enough for me.
@@das8771 ... all leaf fans are the same. Know they screwed themselves so they say the dumbest shit. No GM would take Mathews injury prone ass over marner... ever. Lol. Save that bullshit
Trade Nylander and You will lots of cash.
As a swede I agree
"Anxiety" over an overpaid athlete? although admittedly he's very good but holy frig it's still just a GAME if your having anxiety over someone who' WILL BE FINANCIALLY SET FOR LIFE and dosent know or care weather you or I starve live or die means your life's priorities are waaay out if line seriously GET A GRIP sports are entertainment not nesessary for survival when children are being killed living on the streets without food terrorists are out there people are being robbed in the house ect and this guy's talking about anxiety on weather or not a player will stay with a particular sports team is an indication of how far away from the reality of what's truly important in our world some of us are!
Just like he took
It too seriously you’re taking his comment too seriously man
Hayes isn’t worth the money but he can play defense, offense, PP, and PK. Hayes lost in the first round too just like Marner. 7.14 is a lot but flyers solidified a 2C. Just wait until July 1 Ray
Petterson>Mathews
Trippin Out ya ok man 😂
SMOKE ANOTHER DUBIE IDIOT.
Agreed. Marner is over-rated and soon to be over-paid. Leafs fans are all high from sniffing their own farts.
Tripping out you're an idiot plain and simple if you think petersson is a better player than auston Matthews
Nylander is the worst thing that has happened to the franchise since Keon's departure.
John Ferguson jr. was the worst thing leafs ever had. Nylander is literally one of the best players leafs have ever gotten.
@@Maven01 Good point, I have erased Fergie from my memory. The decisions he made were never great but the teams he put together were fun to watch. Nylander himself could be great, he seems to thrive on the international level, but the whole contract situation, response, and aftermath will haunt the Leafs if this prevents them from building a team. Marleau was a terrible contract, but a great personnel move given his easy going veteran presence. Nylander has no excuse moving forward not to post 60-70+ points.
I’d take Larkin over Marner
Why?
Terrible choice even tho I like Larkin alot
I just think a few years down the road Larkin will be a better player overall. Like a Bergeron
Greyson Curry definitely not offensively, marner is elite of the elite. Larkin very well might be the overall better player he is very good all around
Lmao they're not even in the same tier.
These videos are so dumb. I hope Marner walks. He’s the leafs best player pay him as so. And I don’t wanna hear he’s not a center. Shift him to the center position and he would thrive... look at Aho.
Mitch was raised in Toronto he’s not leaving & if he does he’ll regret it
he doesn't give a shit, he wants money
Mitch Marner will take money over Toronto any day in the week and if you think otherwise you are a fool. I would love to see him sign an offer sheet for like 11 million dollars Maple Leafs will get for first rounders. I would let him walk in a heartbeat
@Chewy Ltd I didn't think signing John Tavares was a good idea. I do love John Tavares I just thought that he should have stayed on the island
@Chewy Ltd I love John Tavares I think he's a fantastic player. I really think he should have stayed on the island. And I am a Toronto Maple Leafs fan. But my point is, aren't all athletes overpaid. Look at Kevin Hayes, an average hockey player who signed a 7 million dollar per year contract. William nylander makes the same money and he's a much better player. Back in the 1970s and I am dating myself because I am 60 years old. You never knew the salaries of most players. I thought it was so much better that they negotiated based on their own merits rather than based on somebody else's merits.
@Chewy Ltd I've been a leaf fan since 1966 1967. I know all about the Harold Ballard era. That guy was a disgusting human being he should have died in prison. And in the 70s Dave Keon was my favorite Maple Leaf along with Bob pulford. And what Harold Ballard did to Dave Keon was disgusting. I still remember that like it was yesterday. I'm not an Islanders fan but I'm a John Tavares fan. But I like most sports fans know that athletes are vastly overpaid. I think in 10 years time this is going to catch up to the NHL and it's going to come Crashing Down they can't continue to pay these obscene salaries to these overpriced selfish little boys.
Morgan Frost gunna be better than Marner
Frost has got great hands.
I’m sorry
Marner sign 4 year contract! St Louis was tiny to and look what he did! Either way Marner is KICK ASS
Elmer Muff i really like marner too but his size does bother me alot, you look at the playoffs this year, he wasn't much of a factor at all, all its gonna take is one bad hit especially these days, and hes done!!
@@DrunkenGuitarGuy Crosby is 5-11 kucherov is 6 foot 170lbs Marner 6 foot 176lbs I play Hockey 13 years and I drop guy's twice my size to their knees when I hit them! Mentally Tough is enough!

@@elmermuff2150 so he was a factor in the playoffs?? he doesn't go away on the rare occasions it does get physical?? what does you playing hockey have to do with anything?? like i said, i like him, in fact i would pay him almost as much as matthews, but i think he does get intimidated and i believe some of the fancy plays he makes may get his head taken off one of these days, maybe not now with how pussified the game is, but its still a gamble imo
@@DrunkenGuitarGuy 4 points in 7 games a lot of players would like to have that kind of a series! Then if you read what you said? You say Marner is SMALL! Marchand is 5-9.
