FINALLY

EVERYONE IMMEDIATELY STOP HIRING THIS MAN

[allthisscienceidontunderstand]

sometimes I wonder if I'm getting a little too defensive of mitch marner and then something absurd will happen like an impromptu brad treliving press conference in which he has to explicitly state that mitch is a valuable player and they support him and they want him to continue to be a leaf and I realize no I think I'm actually very justifiably defensive of mitch marner

toronto maple leafs general manager brad treliving on his thoughts on mitch on his way out, for some of the still upset leafs fans who think he screwed them over or something

"at the end of the day, I don't think anything was going to change ... I think mitch is a tremendous player. I said it the day I got here. he is a top player, he's an unbelievable talent. you know, just look at his statistical production since he's entered the league, in his time with the leafs. he was a great leaf. you know, we approached mitch's camp, really, even from the time that I got here, about what his plans were. those were always to be a leaf."

"at the end of the day, there wasn't a path to a different outcome, despite looking at different opportunities or potential different scenarios. and so we are where we are."

full transcript below the cut

"if you look back at your year and a half, or two years, whenever you showed up here, and looking back in hindsight right now, is there anything you would have done differently, acted differently, pushed harder for maybe a list, once you started realizing that he may not be coming back? is there anything that you've learned throughout the process that could help you moving forward?"

"well, I think it's always great in hindsight to look back and say what you would change. at the end of the day, I don't think anything was going to change, right? you know, and again, I'm not going to get into the weeds of a blow by blow of the mitch situation. you know, I think mitch is a tremendous player. I said it the day I got here. he is a top player, he's an unbelievable talent. you know, just look at his statistical production since he's entered the league, in his time with the leafs. he was a great leaf. you know, we approached mitch's camp, really, even from the time that I got here, about what his plans were. those were always to be a leaf. at the appropriate time, [coughs] excuse me, when we could, we approached him about engaging in a contract discussion. they made it clear that they wanted to wait. as you go through that process, you get a, you know, if you've been in the business long enough, you have gut feels of how things are going to go. and by no means do I criticize the player. that's is the player's right. and then you look at other options. and mitch negotiated a no move clause, which is fully in his rights. so, when we look at opportunities to move on, or opportunities at potential transactions, at the end of the day, mitch held the cards with those. and again, I'm not going to get into any, into the weeds here of those discussions, 'cause I think those are between myself, his representative, and the player, which I always think are, you know, I ask for honest conversation with my players and representatives, and those are held in confidence. but, at the end of the day, there wasn't a path to a different outcome, despite looking at different opportunities or potential different scenarios. and so we are where we are. so you always, retrospectively, look back at anything you do and how do you do it better. I don't know, at the end of the day, if there was an option or an opportunity that was going to work that was going to provide a different outcome."

[williamandrwstyles]

calling it now, leafs aren't making the playoffs this year because brad treliving is doing to the leafs what he did to calgary. they had a tough battle against a division rival and couldn't pull it off, then brad fucked it all up so bad they still haven't recovered. because he sucks at his fucking job

this is the worst the leafs have looked in 9 years
