I hope it could work if Marner just accepts less $ to play with Tkachuk realising they could tear it up.
I honestly want to see Canadian teams do better in general because as a TML I have to watch some team after the 1st round , lol while holding back tears lol.

Username checks out



They were... Where Briere told them that it would cost a 1st to move him...

again, he went 30+ games with 1 goal and still finished miles ahead of Joseph!

He almost had as many points as Nic Robertson, despite playing 20 more games

40 point pace speedy defensively responsible winger. yeah that's a middle 6 forward

what do you think "pace" means??? he had 35 points in 72 games. how can he be on pace for less than what he's already achieved in less than 82 games. what do you think pace is??????

I mean yeah it'd be great if he took a discount, but he won't. he's marner, that's not a thing he's gonna do

I said, if you take away his hot streak to start the year, he would be on pace for 30 points, right along his career averages...

1st of all Bertuzzi does this every year since he started and do nothing till almost half way through season , never should have been signed even at 3m!
And Robertson is a turn over machine that is not physical at all and that is why he was never played more!

😂 stay delusional...

You make us Leaf fans look worse with your lack of knowledge!
Shoo troll!

Excuses, excuses... All this to defend a bottom 6 player...

Bertuzzi doesn't do that every year... If he did, he would never have stayed in the NHL, nor be anywhere near an all star caliber player...

And Joseph is also turnover machine... So keep going

When Marners phone never rings it might just be the wake up call he needs to know he wants too much lol!

How funny...

What's next? People should trade a 1st for Tank, 2 1sts for ADB, now it's a 2nd for Joseph...

Dude wake up Bert has changed teams as often as underwear , do you think it is because he is awesome lmao?

Quickly, do you enjoy trolling Leaf fans?

They wanted a first to take him after the 22-23 season because they knew we had no cap for Pinto, and Joseph had a mediocre year. After the recent season he just had his value has went up drastically.

Joseph is our single best penalty killer - we aren't looking to move him at all but if we were it would realistically cost a 2nd round pick

Wow had to add that Leafsfan98 to ignore list just so angry and wrong lol.

3 teams in 11 years...

1 was via trade and the another via Free Agency where the team that traded for him offered him a big contract that he turned down...

LOL... Keep trolling Leafs fans

Joseph had half as many points in a 1/3 less games... Including not having a hot streak to start the year off... His value isn't up drastically or OTT would have dealt him



No team will pay that...

Don't defend Joseph too him he is ignorant , there are several reasons I made the trade I did he just does not see the big picture I did!
Joseph would be a great add and agree on value approx a 2nd at least.

We are literally not trying to trade him which is why he isn't moved Joseph on a line with Matthews would've out produced Bertuzzi easily this season.

It could only work for Ottawa if Norris was involved, and I don't see Toronto taking that risk.

Plus he can kill penalties he is a very versatile player .
This is a great trade from TML side , Leaf fans may not see it but it would be OTT wanting more or offering less.

Most reports have stated after both contracts were sign that the leafs have a hard cap now to focus on Marner. Meaning 12.5 max but most predict he will be around 11.5 to 12. Considering the cap going up to about 90 million. It actually makes sense. Most people on here forget that players salaries increase with cap increases because they focus on cap percentages. Matthews signed at a 15% percent hit with expectation for the percentage to be about 14.7 when Marner signs. Marner will not command close to 15% but 13 % makes sense that's 12 million and most experts say Marner is getting that guaranteed as he every year without injury is at a ppg pace of over 100 points. He is the leafs leading ppg players in total playoff games amongst the core. The same said defenseman that everyone wants us to sign will want between 8 and 10% percentage cap hit. Thats why Hanifin signed his deal with Vegas. You are looking at around 7 million on the open market. Cap percentage is the better idea for what players will sign.
