Yes or no question. 33 points in 39 games, I find that more than acceptable. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way he's engaging now is something Marner doesn't do. Wasn't it two games ago against Seattle where Petey took the guy hard into the boards, then Podkolzin came in and finished him off?

Nucker 67 Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Marner is a soft, smallish, skilled player, making over $10 million a season. Not the kind of player the Canucks should be targeting. I'd do Boeser+ for Nylander though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only guy on that loser team worth getting is Marner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes or no question. Second best on the team in xGA/60 and xGF/60, last playoffs. While keeping Tampa’s top players grounded, with only 6 goals the entire series. Three playoffs ago against Boston, he was arguably Toronto’s best player. Edited October 30, 2022 by shiznak 1 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't want to create a culture where refusing to break a sweat is acceptable, which is what Marner contributes to in Toronto. Let's not take the Leafs' trash off their hands.

He even had 3 shorthanded goals last year and is used extensively on the PK. You obviously have never watched him play... 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did, and deserved to get those votes. With both the Stars and Bruins LE was a legit defensive force. Even in his time with the Canucks when his play was piss poor he was still reliable defensively. I'll create a culture where under sized wingers who put up over a point per a game while being one of the best defensive forwards in the league any day. What culture has Miller helping to add to this team? He's been leading this team for years and if anything our culture has got worse as time has gone on. His lack luster play to start this year and absolute disregard to play defensive hockey or even skate at times likely has something to do with that. Fortunately for you, we don't have to worry about this. Toronto isn't insane and in no world would even entertain taking Miller for Marner without a significant add on our end, and even then likely wouldn't 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhippy Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 2 hours ago, King Heffy said: Do you consider Marner's effort in the playoffs to be acceptable? Marner is a near ppg player in the playoffs, he is a positive +/- player with one actually questionable series under his belt in like 2018 when he was 20 years old People rip on him about his playoff performances but the truth is he is one of the few players lying down, blocking shots throwing his body and generally killing himself in that top 6 trying to make things happen all while being a shade undersized compared to some. He gets crapped on but Matthews, Nylander, Tavares all get free passes. You sit and call him a gutless floater but say nothing when JT coughs up the puck and looks at his stick while casually skating towards the bench you're giving him a pass. Meanwhile Marner is Mr forecheck in the playoffs and garners more selke votes in one year than Miller has his entire career. Sorry bud, this is about as intelligent as your "kill/harm/mutilate McDavid" comments last year during the playoffs. You've literally no idea what you're talking about calling Marner a gutless floater and suggesting Miller doesn't and cares more about winning in the same breath If there was a 1-1 deal for Marner I'd kick Miller to the airport shove him in a suitcase and pack him some of Taver's PJs for warmth and not think twice 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
