LOL. Love how people phrase things certain ways to to try to make their point. While technically correct, it is misleading at best.
Heading into 5th season. True, but why not just say he has only 4 NHL season?
Has exactly 1 season over 70 points. True, but:
1) He has also had a 69 point season.
2) His "1 season over 70 points" is 94 points. It's substantially over 70 points.
3) Last season, he had 67 points in 59 games and would have easily been over 70 points if not for the Coronovirus.
Let me rephrase it differently, while still being factually correct:
"With only 4 seasons under his belt, he averages 23 goals / 80 point per 82 games through his career, has a 94 point season while only 21/22 years old, and was on pace for 93 points this past season, which was shortened by the Coronovirus (and injury). Over the past 2 seasons, he's 12th in the NHL among forwards in Points/game over, ahead of guys like Matthews, Eichel, Rantanen, Point, Bergeron, Ovechkin, Gaudreau, etc..."
Nonesense. Lucic's contract was tradeable, so any contract is tradeable. If the Leafs tried trading Marner, there would be more than a few teams that would try and trade for him. I'm not saying the contract is some sort of bargain. IMO, it is too high, but not so high that teams still won't want him.
Pre covid, you might be able to move him, the way market is now, no chance. IMO. I like him as a player and there would be no need to trade him, hes the least of TML problems.
