I was going to say, if you aren't throwing players name's out in trade to see what you get back then you aren't doing your job, and if you have players that take that as a slight then they really shouldn't be on the team anyway. Can you tell I want to see a Vegas model of personnel management?

A) LeBrun spoke with Treliving at length at the combine.
If he’s asked a direct question about Marner, do you expect Treliving to just not respond? You’re reaching, and you know it. Also, a trade wasn’t the only thing Marner’s camp controlled. They also controlled a willingness to negotiate an extension, which he was eligible to sign last July - and, despite publicly being open to it, every report since has suggested he rebuffed every attempt to engage.A) LeBrun spoke with Treliving at length at the combine.
For Marner, "All options are on the table" (Trading Marner has to be one of the options)
After the conversation, Lebrun speculated that the Leafs would be as active trying to make something happen with a Marner trade as other NHL teams would be phoning the Leafs trying to trade for Marner.
Treliving June, 2024 “Mitch controls a lot of this whole thing,"
At that time, Mitch had a contract until July 1, 2025. He doesn't need another contract until then.
He doesn't need to do anything until then.
So a bunch of the control Treliving is referring to is Mitch's control over a trade.
Why bring that up if they're not thinking about it?
And Treliving followed that remark while discussing Marner with this:
"If there’s a way to make our team better, we’re going to do it. But we’re certainly not going to make a trade just so we can pound our chest and say, ‘Look, we’re different.'”
How aggressive do Maple Leafs want to push Mitch Marner trade?
It's not so much what Brad Treliving said about Mitchell Marner's future with the Toronto Maple Leafs this week — it's what he didn't say, writes Luke Fox.www.sportsnet.ca
Lebrun starts talking about his lengthy chat with Treliving at around the 12 minute mark.
B) Parents are often trying for a child well before conception. Both his wife's family and his family are in and from the Toronto area. It is understandable that Marner would like to raise his family around both families in Toronto. Weeks before Lebrun's interview of Treliving, Marner reiterated his desire to re-sign in Toronto and his family ties to Toronto.

I agree. and I get you.Thanks for responding, and no problems on the delay
I guess I can see where you’re coming from, but definitely can’t agree.
The one thing I’d say, I think a goal scorer is more likely to be impactful if his trump card comes off.
If Marners trump card of producing a great play and an unreal pass comes off, he’s still reliant on someone else then scoring it.
So I think there’s value in keeping a Matthews around cos a lot of the series we’ve had could turn on one goal and as a goal scorer he’s more likely to do it at some stag, especially as he has several different ways of scoring.
If you get me.
Put Cowan in Jarnkrok's spot, and you've got a stew going.
Yeah. If the expectation was for him to fill a top 6 role immediately once he got here, I'd agree he should start in the AHL, but as a 3rd line energy guy who can chip some offence? I think there's a good chance he's already ready for that.
You know what...he's entitled to his privacy around his health. He's entitled to not disclosing decisions on why they chose certain treatment plans. I'm not going to hold his health against him, but he needs to perform if he's in the lineup. It's not like he's perpetually injured but this is now two seasons where he has played hurt for massive stretches of the year and it has caused a notable decline in his production.
