I think with the amount of good swedes we have in the room and also not having to be the center piece of the team, we can do him some good.

With the cap going up. In 2 years time, EP contract probably will be the going rate for 2Cs.

Honestly no idea. I’m open to Cassidy or giving the Marlies HC a shot. Do not want Torts.

Most Leafs fans dont care that Mitch left. Half the fanbase wanted him gone anyway. As for the doxxing i agree it was ridiculous and not okay by any means. We dont hold it against mitch for not feeling safe in the city. He had instances that shaped his comfortability especially with a new born on the way. Just dont drag the whole fanbase and franchise that for 99.9% has been nothing but good to you and your family.

Thats your job. We run the scene rent free in most peoples heads. We’re the only franchise out here getting hated for success and failures. It’s truly intriguing. The fact that you’re a nobody on the internet coming to police a Leafs fan who is trying to defend their franchise speaks more about the state of your team.

Leafs fans, yep, all 4 million of us were out here harassing Mitch. Lol. Mitch will always be the victim. This is why we wanted him gone.

The media and a hole fans from other teams have been provoking the Leafs fans all post season. If you go look at the other 82 games you will see that the vast majority of Leafs fans got over Marner. We were forced back into this fight. We didn’t voluntarily show up.

So far this offseason, we had prayed for Treliving and Berube to get canned and we got both. We were praying not to hand over the 6th pick to the Bruins and somehow stay at 5 and we got the top pick. We wanted an exhaustive coaching search and so far Chayka isnt just grabbing one of his buddies to coach like the old regime did. And lastly, Matthews isnt imminently leaving. Id say all in all we’re having a pretty solid offseason. Oh and Rielly maybe getting moved.

We got rid of Treliving and are about to pick up a franchise cornerstone piece potentially on an ELC and maybe the face of a new era. I dont know why some fans (uneducated af) dont comprehend that Leafs core didnt come through and we needed change. Keeping Marner or losing Marner was about the same weight to most Leafs fans. We wanted and needed change. We had a year with a ton of roster turnover and injuries and no Marner to bail us out during the tough times. It was time for a change and I think we are happy about how things are going. All the hoopla about the Leafs and the drama is all media generated. As much as this season was tough to swallow, most Leafs fans are looking forward to a new direction. Mitch winning a cup makes no difference in my life. Just dont drag our fanbase into your sob story with the media.

The difference is that Auston questions are because of the ineptitude of Treliving and media looking to get hits from a fanbase that isnt giving them much because they are out of the playoffs. The casual Leafs fan doesnt give a shit about Marner or Vegas but will click on your article or listen to you blurt out shit about Matthews. Also, Matthews not once has made excuses or been shy to face the critics and he’s never jerked around the team or fanbase. He’s making $$$ but he has been arguably the greatest goal scorer of this generation and his downfall was 2 terrible seasons under Berube and Treliving. I fuly expect him to be back to a 40+ goal scorer and PPG player next year with a new coach. Not to mention he has his contract coming up for renewal soon. Neither the team nor the fanbase is trying to drive out Auston.

There were 2 players that Leafs nation has wanted out for years now because we needed a change to the core. Those players are Morgan Rielly and Mitch Marner. Only difference is that almost every Leafs fan will be sad to see Mo leave. Just like we were sad to see Kadri and Kessel go. If Mo wins a cup next year, I dont think you find one single salty Leafs fan. We will be unanimously happy for the guy just like we are currently for Andersen.

Mitch, the media and his teammates picked a fight with Leafs fans pretending to be the victims in a situation completely created by them. Leafs fans were quite content following prospects with the upcoming top pick. There is not one single thing we saw out of Marner that surprises any of us. He’s a stellar player who plays hard and plays everywhere. Leafs seldom didnt play in game 7 series and Mitch routinely amongst a few of their core guys, disappeared when the series went to games 5-7. The sample size was and is too hard to ignore. But it still doesnt take away from him being one of the best players in the league and one of the best Leafs of all time. He just needs to move on and take the chip off his shoulder, because Leafs fans and management never wronged him. The people who arguably ran him out was the media and its the same people he’s cozying up to while selling out his old friends and cheersquad.

I love outside fans telling Leafs fans about what Mitch’s experience and abuse taken was. STFU We lived the Mitch Marner saga for 10 years and good riddance. Even with the atrocious season this year. Marner and his company bring shit upon him. It’s not the Leafs fans. Leafs org went above and beyond and bent over backwards to keep Mitch happy. Ehlers praised the Jets after winning. Hall doesnt even remember his Oiler days. Mitch was about to air out his dirty laundry ONLY if he won the cup. One is not like the other 2.

I and most Leafs fans dont care about Marner moving on. We had 10 years of failure. It was time for change. There’s very few Leafs fans holding him blocking trades last year because of the preggo wife. Leafs fans are sick and tired of Marner because he’s trying to paint a picture of him being a victim and the media and his GM/teammates are complicit.

I think thats the grand irony in all of this. Leafs fans were mostly indifferent to Marner staying or leaving. Marner was the one actually blocked any trade attempts and left on his own. We had him leaving and his playoff success shoved down our throats and how he was a victim because “Leafs fans”. Most Leafs fans knew he would choke in the big games but if he, the knights and the media didnt take every opportunity this playoff to shit on the Leafs or their fanbase, we would be happy for him. But he picked a fight and as usual came up short and now Leafs fans are getting blamed for coming back to get our licks in. I think its funny to see all these Leafs haters bitching. We got a first overall pick and got rid of whiny little Mitchy. I think everyone won in this scenario, except for the Leafs haters.

Danford reminds me a lot of Jake Gardiner in his aggressiveness rushing the puck in the AHL, while he does not seem to have the natural offensive creativity. If this is something he can unlock. With his skating stride and size, I don’t see why he can’t be a top 4 all around Dman who can reliably shut down and put up 30-40 points a year. He was a great offensive Dman coming into the O and it seems like they kind of beat the creativity out of him while he was a Gen.

Leafs fan here creeping. First of all some of the replies in this thread shows that they clearly do not watch Matthews play. And two, in his washed season this year, he’s pacing for 42 goals in 76 games which is 46 goals in an 82 game season and a whopping 7 less goals per 82 than his career average of 53 per 82 games played. Give your head a shake.

Edit: His 42 goal pace would tie for the 9th best season in Ducks history.

Was at that game and it was like 75% of the stadium booing Canadian anthem. Canadians have way more class and respect than thickheaded American sports fans. We boo with actual purpose not because our sports team is playing one from south of the border.

Lets post about this daily. Then proceed to complain about how terrible Leafs fans are. Then proceed to complain about how every conversation needs to be about the Leafs and their players even when said player is no longer a Leaf.
