Darren Dreger just set the timeline on fire.
RUMOR: Leafs trade the 1st overall pick + Hildeby to the Blues for Robert Thomas AND Colton Parayko. Retool on the fly or mortgaging the future? Would you give up a generational prospect for a Cup run?

@TSN_Sports @OverDrive1050 In the end, Mitch marner won and the leafs lost 🥱 thats all that matters

Vegas Golden Knights GM, Kelly McCrimmon, thinks Leafs fans need to get over Mitch Marner leaving the team.

@TSN_Sports @OverDrive1050 It's not leaf fans that are going crazy.And making all comments it's everybody outside of toronto, making fun of the Leafs . How many fans are good? We got gavin mckenna, if we didn't lose mitch, we wouldn't have mckenna

@Joe_McCoy12 @strombone1 @PuckReportNHL Two years ago I got sabres tickets for 8 bucks. Do you know why?Because nobody gives a s*** about the sabres. THE ONLY NATION IS LEAFS NATION

@strombone1 @PuckReportNHL Why in the world would players not want to play in Toronto 🤔
English

@SinBinVegas Glad you're paying attention. The leafs aren't even in the playoffs, and all anybody can talk about is toronto. I love it . The only nation is leafs nation. Thanks for reminding me of that.

@DwayneNHL The Truth is they didn't have any top 4 defenseman in the last 10 years maybe Morgan but barely, and they're trading draft pics because they think they're close, but the truth is, they weren't close at all. The biggest sin mangmt makes
I thinking your team is better than they are

The Mitch Marner revisionist history is wild. But here's my assessment of why it failed in TO and why he's found success elsewhere.
The standard "he’s soft / can't win" rhetoric never made logical sense. Toronto's failure wasn't a talent issue...it was a structural failure of roster construction, deployment, and asset management.
Here is the truth bomb:
1. Matchups & The Kessel Parallel - In Toronto, Marner faced top-pair D and shutdown lines every night. In Vegas, he’s playing behind Eichel and Stone. Because opponents have to hard-match Eichel’s line, Marner gets 2nd-pair matchups and feeds on them. It’s the exact same reason Phil Kessel feasted in Pittsburgh after years of carrying the load in TO.
2. Flawed Cap Construction - The #Leafs were built incorrectly. Too much money up front, not enough on the blue line or in net. When a roster is that top-heavy, those elite forwards have to be superhuman to mask the depth issues. When the tight playoff whistle blows and they score like normal stars, the lack of depth exposes the whole team.
3. Coaching & Management- Matthews and Marner were never split up under Keefe or Berube. Only Babcock did it, but he did it when they were 19 and 20. If they had that structural discipline when the core was 24-25, the results likely look entirely different.
Combine that with management trading away SEVEN 1st-round picks and FIVE 2nd-round picks during the Matthews/Marner era, and they completely starved the pipeline of the cheap ELC depth needed to survive a top-heavy cap.
Vegas didn't need Marner to be a savior, they just needed him to be an elite piece of an already championship-caliber puzzle. It’s about usage and deployment.
Vegas did it correctly. Toronto didn't.

@SenatorsSession It would be upsetting 😡 if we didn't get Mckenna, BUT we did

I'm guessing that they are starting to figure out that Mitch Marner wasn't the issue in Toronto

Mitch was so hyped after punching his first ticket to the Cup Final 🥹 ⚔️

@TonyMarinaro Ahhh Tony the hypocrite, what shock oh well what do you expect from MONTREAL MEDIA
English

Where are the members of the media in Toronto who said Marner was part of the problem in Toronto? That he wasn’t a playoff performer? The ones who wanted him gone? Where are you?

@jpolly22 What about the rest of the team? Are they going with him to the Stanley cup finals or just Mitchell
English

@espn Zero doubt now - the Leafs are an absolute toxic franchise 😅
Most toxic fans, too. To run Marner out of town 🤦 Matthews is next 💯
English

@NHL_Watcher He's always been a baby that had to go crying to his Mommy and daddy. I think it's good that he's in a market where nobody cares about hockey. They're gonna win the stanley cup, and they're going to have a parade of twenty people
English

@berezin_goal He's one of the best defensemen.I've seen in toronto in the last ten years, which is great for him and horrible for us
English

Unless a team is willing to overpay significantly for Oliver Ekman-Larsson, the Maple Leafs should keep him for the final two years of his contract. Toronto isn't going to find a better veteran defenceman anywhere for $3.5M.

Was there ever this much talk about the Sabres after Eichel won the cup?
Greg Wyshynski@wyshynski
Mitch Marner is 5 wins away from lifting the Stanley Cup and likely winning playoff MVP. How is Toronto dealing with this? I asked prominent voices in @MapleLeafs Nation (and a former teammate) how they're processing Mitch Marner's playoff dominance. espn.com/nhl/story/_/id…

Temperatures have risen 20 degrees in the past 4 months where I am.
What do climate change deniers say to this?
They have no explanation.

Apparently climate change is a myth.
