Heartbreak & the Horizon with Elliotte Friedman | Real Kyper & Bourne Clips 

I’m one of Kyper’s biggest fans in these comments sections, but it sounded like he didn’t want to damage his reputation with his connections today.

Bill McCreary saved my life ...lol ...Kypers a real one.

Look at Miller's contract with the Canucks, 8 mil per year. Giving 12 mil to Maner, come on! Who would you rather have. Miller is a competitor!

The return of Babs would be peak!

Any team willing to give Marner 12 million a year for 8 years need their heads examined. He’s only considered a 12 million player by these guys because the Leafs grossly overpaid him. A 90 point player who tops out at 30 goals a year and disappears in the playoffs is not worth close to 12 million. These guys are delusional. The media loves overrating thier own players.

Pasta went right by marner he could of slowed him up or something come on Kyper

What would make a more fun season than torts in Toronto

Mathew Knees performed better by Marner, that is saying something.

Whoever gives Marner $12 m, they’ll never win the cup for the duration of that contract.

Treliving is the POHO i think if they keep the position. Doan or another hockey ops that is close to treliving will get the GM job and Berube is the coach.

I love this discussion about Marner (who has proven to be a por playoff player, wired or not) wanting 12 million times 8, this is INSANE. In the playoff which is another level, brutal and stressful, making little Marner inactive would be easy.

“Legitimate 100 point player” about a player that has never gotten 100 points.

Babcock is the Leafs ANSWER!

Elliote Friedman oscillates from being intelligent and informed and just being a Rogers schill.

"I'm a human being ... " thanks for the clarification, Elliotte

Leafs need a goalie

Nsh Preds have a rookie goalie they like Askarov I think his name is I would try to see if Marner waives his NTC to go to Nsh for Saros. Saros & a dman as it would look great as a leaf it would shore up the #1 goalie than you keep Woll as his backup.

If Johhhhhny T was a real team guy he could go to management and tell them he’d like to re-work his deal…

best hockey show!!!!!

The only way Mitch stays a leaf this off season is if he takes a pay cut to show that he really wants to be here. I feel bad for the guy at this point, all everyone wants to do is bash him and expect him to play good. That was my knee jerk reaction but a pay cut from one of the 4 would change the perspective. Obviously JT will he’s beyond those day

Boy, you can't tell these guys are Loaf-centric with the jersey hanging in the background, can you?

Assuming Friedman is correct, you can kiss Marner goodbye, which would make a lot of Leaf fans happy. Friege claims Marner's agent Ferris usually walks his players to free agency. The problem with that is, there are some bigger guns heading to UFA status besides Marner. Draisaitl & Rantanen are UFA's in 2025 & I'm not sure how Colorado & Edmonton can fit them in at their much higher aav's. I value both of them ahead of Marner frankly. The Leafs will have a minimum of 27M to spend (or not) with Marner & Tavares off the books in 2025.

Bridge deal or one year deal at 9million for Mitch Marner but not in Toronto. He needs to prove he can play playoff hockey.

Green in Ottawa is a mistake...esp when Keefe will be available and is a more successful coach

You trade Mitch and John give Austin the C. Winning the Johnny T sweepstakes is a curse and Mitchell can't do it in the playoffs.

Next season just play Woll and outcome will be different. We need a solid goaltender. Remove shanahan and maybe add a strong experienced coach

Woll #1 and Desmith #2 possible as I'd think Silovs has earned #2 in Vancouver next year.

Hope the brains of the Leafs decide to run it back. Means we can watch this circus for years to come! 😂

Max contracts destroy a club/too much risk.

Nmc, new coach, pres. Run it back

Markstrom isn't consistent enough to be paid big bucks to play in Toronto . He reminds me of a worse Freddy Andersen

I love the Leafs and will be back for more punishment and disappointment in October but out of respect for two legit Canadian teams still in the playoffs Toronto Maple Leaf off season moves coverage doesn’t deserve air time until the playoffs are over, no wonder everyone hates us.

Elliotte the Gossip Queen

Leaf's disappeared faster than Friedman at math class.

Trade marner for geno Malkin

They only thing close to the homer attutude of HNIC for the Maple Laughs, is NESN towards the Bruins. The big difference is NESN is a regional broadcast. HNIC is a National broadcast. They try to push the Maple Laughs as Canada's team as hard as Ontario pushes Trudeau as Prime Minister. The rest of Canada thinks Toronto is a cesspool. 🤣 Go Panthers!!

12 mill for Marner is delusional

I agree with Elliot, the Leafsin their usual insanity , will not do as much as one thinks or wants. Most likely a change at coach and bench staff, they will sign Marner to extension , make a couple of trades, they are soft on Samsonov and may not trade him. Other than that I for one would be shocked if they do anything out of the norm.

What does Shanahan actually even do?

Well, if you look at the results, you CAN'T keep Shanahan can you?

No curveball comin freedman

Time for the Leafs to flex their muscle with the league and get the guy they want to coach.

Hard to say if the Leafs need a president. Nobody has ever made it clear what Shanahan actually does in his current role. He's dead weight. Make Treliving president and Pridham the GM. Functionally does anything change?

Austin Matthews career PO points 47 and a +2.....Marner 50 and a +10....yup Marner's the problem

One of the reasons that the team didn't want to "lose" a deal with Nylander was because Treliving was still a new GM, and didn't fully understand what kind of team he had. He's had a year now to observe things first-hand and knows what the Leafs need.

I think Marner was right. The Leafs ARE treated like Gods in this city. I also think that attitude should change. Holding them accountable for poor showings is part of the game, & we shouldn't, as fans, be treating them with such reverence, especially when the results of the team's on ice results don't necessarily deserve said reverence. Something needs to change in the locker room, whether its a coach, a trade, whatever, to convince these guys that maximum effort needs to br given every night, no matter what. Kyper is right, not everyone can thrive under the microscope of Toronto's sports media. The players need to decide in my opinion whether or not they can handle it. If not, they should move on.

You have a guy that has never been in anything like the job he is in - and he is going to eliminate that president of hockey ops ? That doesn't make any sense at all.

I think marnier would be great on the Philadelphia flyers.

7 years 2 playoff round won. The homers at sportsnet are clueless. Marner and Matthew's play too soft Tavares is old no depth or scoring from the bottom 8 . Below average defense Reilly is better suited as a 3 or 4 option goaltending is average at best

if they can wouldn't it be funny if Marner wont accept a trade then buy him out after free agency is passed when no teams have the money to sign him

Marner out Babcock back ! Lindy Ruff went back.

When MM already has all $$ he ever needs, I wonder how important it is to him to play for his hometown in the world’s largest hockey market…

Hilarious to once again see the homer TO media not realize they aren’t close to a Cup. 😂😂🤢

Sheldon Keefe better get fired any other franchise would of fired him by now what’s wrong with you guys

And so as the corpse called the Toronto Maple Leafs decays, here we have the same media who only last week were so loving towards the team now deciding how to dissect the corpse. And you fans go up and down the roller coaster with them. The Leafs are a good regular season team. They lack the heart and desire to win in the playoffs. My condolences to you. I gave up in '73.

When I look at and listen to Keith Pelley, I see Richard Peddie re-incarnated. I don't like it. He's the same ineffectual dork. I have no doubt he would believe he has the ability to oversee hockey operations.

Kyper is so lost its sad

A former Rogers CEO giving the green light or red light on trades? No Thx!

The notion of a corporate bureaucrat like Keith Pelley being “involved” in hockey operations is the last straw for me. That’s doomsday for the Leafs.

No, he shouldn’t be a God. It’s a god damned sport. He’s an athlete. My goodness. What a tone deaf statement after losing a game 7.

If this were Vegas, Marner and tavares would have been embarrassed by the organization and moved out of the organization. Toronto is too nice, and incompetent. You either want to win a stanley cup or you don't. If you don't get rid of these two, you're telling the fans you don't want to do everything possible to win. That's what you're saying.

This whole situation is on Shanahan. The fact that Shanahan and Keefe are still part of the organization just shows how big of a joke this franchise is and how this organization is not committed to winning the cup. Lou said it best: "Players need to play for the crest not the name on the the back of sweater". And what did Shanahan do? He gave the job to Kyle Dubas because he pressed Shanahan and threatened to go to Colorado and that idiot president gave an inexperienced dork with glasses the GM job with no NHL experience, now look where there team is. Fire everyone in that is not named treliving. Right the ship

Yes, trade him for too 6 million dollar players. And the other ones that don't compete trade them for 6 million dollar players better than selfish children.

Tavares signs for 5 a year to finish here. That frees up 6 million mitch isn't an 11.5 guy. He's a same money 8 years with a trade clause after 3 years on the team side. Or trade for a big well skating Dman. To start you gotta do some deals.

I think the main problem with the four top guys is so much of the team's cap space is invested in those four players who have essentially the same offensive skill set. This will sound like a shot from a Bruins fan living in the GTA but Tavares might be the grittiest of the four. But what does that say about the other three? The Bruins' goaltending is the backbone of their club. We B's fans knew that entering the season with all the UFAs, retirements of Bergie and Krejci and bargain bin FA signings. Are Matthews, Marner, Tavares and Nylander the backbone of the Leafs? Yes or no. And if it's not them, who or what is? If it's not these four elite players, as good a quartet of forwards as you can find in the league, then there's a fundamental flaw in the assessment, construction and balance of their roster and salary cap distribution set up and approved by the management group.

The Leafs are in disaster mode. Team makeup is proven failed and the brain trust is really clueless.

If Marner wants to go to FA then trade his ass right before the deadline next year. Someone will easily give you 1 or maybe even 2 first round picks for a rental.

If you mess with the balance and the multiple threats, don't cry if everything falls apart.

Tim Leiweke changed the culture at MLSE. His changes brought a winning culture to the Leafs, a championship to both TFC and the Raptors. Its always sad when a man tgat knows how to run a business thinks he can run a sports team. This Pelley guy sounds like another owner that wants to sit at the draft table and make trades. Get ready Toronto Sports fans, this could get even uglier than it is now if he turns out to become one of these guys. Thise old enough, think of Harold Ballard coming back from the grave.

As a die hard Sens fan, I like Marner but c'mon LOL. 12 milli for a guy that has done nothing in the playoffs. AND he's a winger. No thanks. There's a small market for him

They will keep talking about those losers Toronto even when they are out. ”Next year etc”.

You’re telling me 29 teams want a player who is soft and puts up a pathetic amount of points in the playoffs?! For 12 mil?!?

EF is the tigers paw,he does the heavy lifting for the powers that own the NHL. Anything that is said ,no matter what show this guy is on ,their is trepidation and cloaked intimidation by the hosts,this guy has ended podcasts with a speed dial on his phone .That is gospel truth ,think about it ,you will understand what Im saying.

Buy out Tavares

Let Marner go to free agency and lets see what teams want to sign him to his delusional demands.

Patrick Laine from Columbus for mitch marner.....hes had injuries but hes only 7.5 mill compared to marners 11mill.

Strip the part-time "A" from Marner.......great regular season point getter, not a leader, not a playoff performer and after the glove throwing incident on the bench NOT a teammate that I would want to go to war with....His ego.....would have him agreeing to a trade in a heartbeat. If you're hell bent on getting rid of JT.....Strip him of the Captaincy and give it to Matthews. If neither will wave their No Trade clause and you have 2 thirds of your 4th line.....and neither player is part of the leadership letter group going forward.....We go through pain for another year ....21 Million dollars goes a long way to sorting out Goaltending and Defence Stud's......If Management wants to give No Movement clauses, do it in the beginning of a contract..NOT the end when divorce is likely!......8 Year contact No movement for 24 months, 25- 48 months 10 team No Trade Clause, 49 months plus.....No clauses. Period! The fact that contracts are fully guaranteed unlike NFL Contracts..Beside if the contract is that BAD.....what other team would take the player anyway.....??????

Montreal who are in rebuilding mode will win a playoff series before the Leafs do.

Dont trade a player deadset on hitting free agency and letting his final contract year play out, this will be the best version of Marner youll get this upcoming season with everything at stake. Trade Matthews, he's the real asset to trade and the best opportunity to change the core and improve it

🤮🤮🤮🤮

PLAN we THE want PARADE florida

Why would anyone want to play for the Leafs? They're so far-off

Cam neely is a solid president. Your toronto maaaaaaaaple laughs. The corporate villian team no one likes. Have fun on the greens gents !

Who wants Marner? What teams? He is proven loser in the playoffs. So why would you want him when what’s important is the playoffs.

The Leafs are out guys, no one cares !!!

I never listen to Friedman or Kypreos. Know it alls blowing hot air.

I don't think anybody gives a flying motherfuck about what the OWNERSHIP thinks about the hockey team. The ownership is the main reason for every ounce of bullshit since the early 2000s.

I'd resign marner for 7 million a year, he's not worth a penny more

Shannon would fuvk up ac2 man bowlingbteam. Please give me a break.
