Knowing there is no Chance Marner waives for Chicago....
I gladly pay him to have him here during his prime.

As @TLEH said in the other thread, Friedman mentioned Seth Jones just as “wondering”
Now I know people are split on Friedman, but usually when he drops names in that regard, it’s usually because he’s heard whispers.
It doesn’t mean it’s going to happen, but I’m thinking someone in the leafs organization is at least mentioning Jones as a possibility.

He usually doesn't pull stuff out of thin air. Its usually something he's actually heard, at least offhandedly.

Seth's deal isn't good and Marner is moving towards UFA. Depends on how much retention we can avoid and what we have to add.

He's got 3 points in his last 13 games and he's played over 100 more minutes than Nylander for example. Or 62 more minutes than Matthews.
exactly and Seth Jones recent comments after post season interviews makes it seem likely he would be willing to move to a playoff contender team. Key would be would Marner wave to come to Chicago. I think he would its a big city with marketing ops and playing with Bedard could rejuvenate his career arc.

And the media pressure here is basically non existent. If the media in Chicago can defend Jones, Marner won’t have any issues.
I think you can avoid retention by taking back Kampf (2.4x3). 5% expected bump to cap each of the next 2 Summers, the Leafs cap situation cleans up a lot this Summer with more next so I don't see a big need for retention.
Marner, Liljegren, Kampf for Jones, 1 of (Anderson/Entwhistle/Raddysh) & Phillips.
Marner retained at the deadline is a 1st plus (if he either is a poor fit or you don;t want to meet his contract demands)
This is a decent Summer to shop a RHD as a UFA with Montour, Pesce, Demelo, Matt Roy decent option and some stop gaps like Myers, Schultz, Walker, Tanev that could fill the void while we wait for Rinzel and whoever we draft this Summer. If we moved Jones, I would not mind shopping in the deep end of the UFA pool with an eye on moving Murphy (if he happens to be healthy) at the TDL.

Jones isn't waiving for Toronto, Marners not waiving without an extension in hand.
There's a whole lot of fantasy world stuff going on here.

All due respect we would definitely have to retain here and add significantly like reichel(at his peak value which he is not)+
Why wouldn’t Toronto just trade Marner for Power straight up?

Jones is going to be here for quite some time. Some of y'all are going to have to make your peace with that.

Never underestimate the stupidity of NHL General Managers.
Also, we're talking about dealing with the guy who gave Huberdeau 10.5mil for 8 years. This is not a master of talent evaluation.

It's not even just stupidity. I'm sure plenty of guys go in with the mindset that a trade probably won't work out. But it might. And if it doesn't it'll be the same outcome as me just standing pat. Somebody else will be dealing with the fallout or lack thereof because I won't have a job either way.
