Sportsnet: Why Kypreos believes Maple Leafs should trade Mitch Marner

[SmellOfVictory]

lol why are they so somber? You'd think Kypreos' dog died.

 

[MardyBum]

Marner is already untradable.

The Leafs scouting has picked up Zaitsev and now Borgman and Rosen for free. We just drafted Lilligren. Our window is HUGE as our core is only 20 years old.

And if you want look at Kanes stats early on...he didnt become a phenom until he was what? 24, 25? We got loads of time to watch Marner progress. Lou knows it and Babs knows it.

You mean forward core?

Marner is not untradeable. Let's not get carried away.

Untouchable...Sure bud sure.

You are not getting Marner....I repeat, NOT getting Marner. Take that to the bank.

lol i know, i found that video bizarre and somewhat creepy in tone.

 

[Crabapple]

Holy shit Kypreos sounds incredibly condescending during that segment. Gross.

Holy **** Kypreos sounds incredibly condescending during that segment. Gross.

He's a horrible "analyst".

 

[A1LeafNation]

Lol Marner for Nurse.

We learned from the Hall for Larsson deal, we aren't trying to replicate it.

Edmonton still hasn't improved defensively with that trade.

 

[McDavidCrushedLarkin]

Draisaitl + 2nd for Tanev should actually help the oilers get out of the basement.

Draisaitl + 2nd is closer to Matthews than it is Tanev.

That segment was terrible from top to bottom.

What Kypreos is saying is completely ridiculous. Hyman is on the first line, because he has a role on the team and that role is to forecheck and make space for Matthews and Nylander - which he does. Then he talk about how it's bad that they have Marner with Bozak and JVR when in fact that should be a very good line that allows the offense to be spread out and allows the Leafs to roll 4 lines that can score. Reality is the Leafs have a ton of depth ... One way or the other a very very good player will end up on the 3rd or 4rth line. Just like JVR is not a 3rd liner.

I'd also add that in today's NHL it isn't much about "lines". Some teams that have a lot of depth play they top 3 lines almost the same amount of minutes every night.

You look at Ottawa, they have Mike Hoffman on the 3rd line with Pageau. Will the Sens trade Hoffman? Absolutely not, he was their most productive forward last year while playing ths majotity of the time on that 3rd line. It's just that you want to spread the offense.

You put all your big guns on 2 lines it's much easier to match up againt compared to when you have Marner on a line where he might get an easier matchup and create problems for the other team.

 

[Maplebeasts]

Marner-Tanev swap would help both teams

Uhhh no. No it would not. Tanev is injured way too often.

 

[Scott Stevens]

It's more of a comentatary that smaller guys sometimes need a bit of time to develop to their potential. That ok with you?

I’m sure that is what it is now, after your laughable comparison got called out.

 

[Scott Stevens]

Uhhh no. No it would not. Tanev is injured way too often.

This is exactly what I wanna hear. My own team being crap for years will be made easier by watching v-feet leafs fans crash down to earth over and over again after defensive issues eliminate them.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Marner is not untradeable. Let's not get carried away.

love it when non Leafs fans pretend they know more about our core players

 

[Vancouver Canucks]

Draisaitl + 2nd is closer to Matthews than it is Tanev.

Draisaitl for Tanev itself is an overpayment.

 

[elmaco]

Hilarious that Leafs passed on 3 potential #1/2D's to get Marner.

I heard from Liferleafer that Marner's placement in the fourth line is temporary and that he'll improve as the season progresses.

 

[Drytoast]

I’m sure that is what it is now, after your laughable comparison got called out.

Was that a “call out”? Lol i never noticed.

I think whats more laughable is how sensative people got on the subject of comparing kane to marner...

Any further post on the subject and i may have gotten a full blown temper tantrum!

[Drytoast]

[Vancouver Canucks]

The small one

Haha. What a comparison.

 

[Drytoast]

Haha. What a comparison.

Know of any other smaller players?

 

[x Tame Impala]

Is this a parody video? Jesus they're so serious they may as well be talking about the Israeli/Palestine problem. "The 3rd line. The 3RD LINE! With Bozak and JvR!" LOLOLOLOLOLOL

Who watches this?

Kypreos has brain damage, that's not up for debate.
