I have infinitely more faith in Kyle after reading this.Moving the discussion about Marner here, instead of simply posting about it in the GM thread.
Supposedly, Powers says in the latest Powers and Laz podcast (Patreon exclusive) that the Hawks aren't interested in going after Marner in free agency.
Here's an image from reddit, that's a screen grab from Twitler, that's supposedly a quote from Powers on the podcast.
Provided they deem him healthy, and he can still skate fast, then yeah I could see that.
All of it garbage. I’m not going to do a write up about why every player would be a mistake, but steer clear.
They literally have to spent cap. Who or what are you trading to get good players with cap that fills it out.
I’ve been saying for awhile that Leafs pick and some lesser prospects are likely candidates in a trade for a younger roster player. Preferably someone to pair with Bedard, but that’ll be more costly.
Give Donato 1 year 8m, retain half and move him at TDL if he puts up 30 goals again...who cares at this point, just get to the floor or take on a short term cap dump for additional assets like the Mikheyev deal...but like HTK said, play the younger players all year
would love if the FO/ownership has recognized that they need 2-3 more years to continue stockpiling assets...its going to be worth the wait if they do it rightMoving the discussion about Marner here, instead of simply posting about it in the GM thread.

I actually wouldn't hate that. Even with a Brodie buyout, Jones' retention, and Weber's contract on the books, they still need to spend ~10M just to get to the floor. That would include Kaiser, Crevier, and Soderblom. It's interesting to see what they might do.
Just fyi, it’s actually 8 million. Kaiser could get up to 3 million on a short term deal, same with Soderblom if Brossoit is completely cooked. Hell Crevier could get up to 2 million.
Not how you want to treat vets if you’ll want to sign any FAs in the future. And the year 2 impact of his buyout is inconsequential. Financially, given the bonus heavy structure of his deal, buy out or bury are quite similar.
That doesn't say their ever were on Marner. If they were and aren't anymore then could this be because Blashill.Moving the discussion about Marner here, instead of simply posting about it in the GM thread.

There's practically consensus that KK was in NHL too early and know you want half a roster to be in NHL too early.
I wouldn't assume it's because of Blashill.
Vlasic, Rinzel, Murphy, Kaiser, Crevier, Del Mastro, Allan. There’s seven and you can have KK and Lev down in Rockford.
I like that, as the trade deadline approaches next season you make a decision on and with Murphy who has a 10 team no trade clause...at 33 he may want to set himself up for another stop in the NHL or a shot at a cup... or he and the hawks may choose to resign him to a short term deal.
