Rumors will start once again about Marner being dealt... But who will realistically want him? You want guys to help u win in the playoffs and not just be a regular season star.

That cap hit and becoming invisible in the playoffs would be an awful thing to wanna acquire.

That's the thing. At some point, the front office needs to accept that fancy season stats really don't mean shit. Leafs need to get a little uglier and go to the dirty areas but if your top guys don't lead the way, it's tough. You don't win in hockey being top heavy. You win with a defense and a nasty forecheck. Goaltending helps too
idk how you even fix this…. They shoulda went for Matthew tkachuk

You don’t get the blame for the “loser core” when you’re fired after insinuating that you were gonna break them up.

This is Shanahans team.
Dubas can say whatever he wants, doesn't make it true.

He coddled them. He overpaid them. For better or worse that's his core group

Marner will be Leafs‘ own rental.
Maybe they sign him to a one year show us deal well below his actual cap hit.
No team with real ambitions will sign him for 8 digits.
