Not even close
Marner is borderline elite defensively and sets the pace he wants to play at.
The only similarity - and perhaps the main reason to stay away from ehlers - is that he’s fucking shit in the playoffs. Such shit that he’s even more shit than Marner.
Meanwhile the picks they used to unload contracts turned out to be Jarvis and Rinzel, who might be a stud top pair guy.
Remember when the narrative was like oh dubas is so smart when he trades down 12 spots and gets an extra 5th rounder for it? Ya that’s a dumb strategy especially when you’re...
the self sabotage by the leafs is just ridiculous.
2018 first (ras) traded for ??? Profit
2019 first traded for 180 games of muzzin
2020 first to unload marleau
2021 first for 8 games of foligno
2022 first to unload mrazek
2023 first for like 15 games or ROR
2025 first for McCabe (ok)
2026...
McConnell sucks. He went mad in the third but it was because they just back off on him, and it put the team in a lull.
Since then it’s been block city.
Pascal is their only other guy who you can play in iso. Mayyyyybe nembhard.
But ya it’s coaxing too with the meaning on hali. The ball movement dies without him.
