Good luck. Standard sophomore slump, nothing to see here. Same clowns wanted Nylander traded last year. Player development is a thing now in 2017

Who would they try to trade him for? I know he was a popular name in the OEL proposals, but other than that idk.

Also, that got weirdly heated lmao. The disgust in that man's voice when he said "3rd line" "Bozak and JVR" was really funny lol.

Marner-Tanev swap would help both teams

You would think people would have learned from Nylanders situation which happened just last year LOL.

Guess not.

Yeah if the Leafs are dumb enough to believe what Kypreos said here, there's going to be 30 teams lined up to take that off your hands. You don't give up on a 20 year old in his second year because he's inconsistent. That and with guys like JVR, Bozak, and Moore all up at the end of the year, there's going to be a spot for him whether it's in the middle or on the other wing if not RW.

This is going to be funny.

Guessing there is a bet on about how much hate mail Kypreos can generate.

 

[FlamesFan18]

OEL makes the most sense. If they don't want to add there's always one of Hanifin/Pesce, Tanev, and Ekholm.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

The next intelligent thing Kypreos says will be the first.

Maybe for the 50 games a yr Tanev actually plays.....

Did the Leafs GM lose his mind overnight? Because that's the only way that deal happens

 

[Gabe Kupari]

Toronto needs D help...

Im not sure I'd move Marner but I know for sure they won't move Matthews or Nylander to get one so who does that leave really? Marner.

I dont think Marner is worth as much as Leaf fans think tho.

 

[Seras]

It would be a bad idea to trade Marner.

Trading him when his value would be low is moronic

 

[Exit Dose]

I doubt that Marner's value is low, right now. It's not as high as last season, but I'd wager that it's still pretty high.

 

[stubbadub]

My heavens how is Kypreos employable with that condescending attitude of his? He was a fourth line player on a stacked cup winning team once. The rest of his career he was a fringe NHLer AT BEST. Screw that guy so hard. I dislike him as much as PJ Stock. Hopefully he meets the same fate.

 

[Freudian]

His argument is nonsensical in that he mentions Hyman/Bozak ahead of Marner but it's possible Leafs will trade Marner to get something else. A good defenseman or perhaps a more well rounded winger.

Talk radio is hot takes.

Marner-Tanev swap would help both teams

Yeah, no not at all.

 

[david999]

Ya, sure there is no room in the Leafs top 9 for a young star like Marner because guys like Hyman and Komarov will have precedence? There will be at least three open spots in the top 9 by July of 2018.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

That video was cringeworthy.

 

[Flameshomer]

Did he even have a cogent point other than "hurr durr 4th line"? I was unable to ascertain an actual reason for trading him in that video other than apparently the coach values him 5th most out of forwards.

I wish they would trade him, but I can't see it happening. Toronto area boy with big talent.

Marner-Tanev swap would help both teams

what does getting an older, more injury prone player do for Toronto, exactly? esp when marner clearly has ridiculous upside?

 

[swiftwin]

Wow, looks like the honeymoon phase in Toronto is already over. That didn't take long...
