2025-2026 Off Season Thread - The Rehappening

Tldr basically everything that has been reported was confirmed by Tre. Leafs wanted to keep him, he refused to negotiate all year and blocked a trade.

Mitch the Bitch.
Mitch wanted out from the second that Pasta scored on the overtime goal in game 7 for Boston. He was going to sulk, and not allow the Leafs to get value for him.

Craig Button: how are you going to replace Marner's scoring in the playoffs?

Mike Johnson: Marner doesn't score in the playoffs

Craig was melting down a bit over how much worse they got and MJ wasn't having it. Ok I'm done watching this trash. I pulled a Jonas.
 

Treliving on Marner: "Ultimately, the player has a choice. We approached him to discuss a contract, and he and his representatives wanted to wait until after the season. He had a no-trade clause, and he had the right to control the process."

And for the new Leafs, and all of Woodbridge..

Treliving su Marner: "In definitiva, il giocatore ha una scelta. Lo abbiamo contattato per discutere di un contratto, ma lui e i suoi rappresentanti hanno voluto aspettare fino alla fine della stagione. Aveva una clausola di non scambio e aveva il diritto di controllare il processo."

The reason I got him wrong is because the why is always missing.

Why want to leave? If wanting to leave, why block trades? There’s no rational explanation.
 
Regular season team gets a bit worse without Marner, but it’s not the difference between winning the division and not making the playoffs.

Playoff team gets better. Pretty much anyone else getting 20+mins per game and all the powerplay time will outproduce Marner in elimination games. Kampf on PP1 and on Matthews’s wing probably does it. Addition by subtraction for the games that count IMO.
