Value of: A trade involving Marner & Dahlin. Interest on either side? What would it take?

[Beerz]

Lol

No

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

lol at thinking Marner waives for the basement dwelling Sabres even if Buffalo agreed to do it.

...bags of money (extended) and no Toronto media to deal with...look at Johnny Hockey; Columbus wasn't anywhere close to being a contender but the chill Family life and no hockey-mad media to deal with daily...depends on where his head is...

 

[JKG33]

Yea not a chance in hell Buffalo does this. If they even offered Power for Marner I'd take it and run

 

[is the answer jesus]

You wouldn’t want Marner with an extension in place?
There’s nothing Toronto can add to this deal to make Buffalo a better team?

I just think Marner's a poor fit here. We need a top 6 center and we could really use a RHD that can actually defend. Those are our biggest needs. The strength of the organization right now is all the young forward talent we have in the pipeline and on the team, most of which projects to the wing.
Dahlin is the cornerstone of the team. There aren't many players in the league Buffalo would consider moving him for, Marner is not even a conversation starter, no matter how much the Leafs stack on top of him.

power might work but you won't get dahlin for marner

Not moving Marner and Buffalo is on their own track, their rebuild that started in 2011-12 will be complete any year now, better they continue on that path

You are right, we should trade away every player to other teams as a favour to them. That will surely fix things.

Realistically Marner isn't waiving for any trade, so it's just fantasy talk.

Only player that gets darlin from the laughs is matthews

 

[I am Canadian]

Really? I see it as the opposite. Only way he'd end up there would be via trade. Can't see him going to Buffalo on the open market.

Any trade for Marner would include an extension as he has a NTC anyway

Basically that’s it. What would it take to make both the Sabres & Maple Leafs a trade winner? If possible.

Buffalo doesn't have interest since they'd have to pay Marner this summer.

 

[Dumais]

I hate these kind of threads, it's borderline insulting. It's pretty universally accepted that Franchise D are worth more than Franchise wingers. Then you add in the UFA status and some arrogant fans and you get this...

One sided offer is made by a large fanbase, opposing fans respond that their player is more important. Larger fanbase proceeds to ridicule and mock the opposing player, team, fans and city.

Marner isn't even talking extension with the leafs.

 

[Fjordy]

Dahlin unavailable

 

[Ledge And Dairy]

Marner extension in place then the talks can begin.

Buffalo can negotiate the exact same extension themselves so the value his value is the exact same as if he's a rental

 

[eviohh26]

Buf should never trade Dahlin unless he makes it clear he wants out. He is a #1 D and would just leave a big hole to fill another need. Counter productive.

You start by adding Matthews and removing Marner. Sorry boss, we need D and Centers more than wingers.

Marner is much better player but contract wise not going to work

Dahlin>>mariner even him signed to term

 

[TS Quint]

Marner is having a career year (surprise, just like his buddies it's a contract year). Leafs are just doing their stretching now so they can grab their ankles later. They just saw how Nylander quit trying after he got his money last year so they will sign Marner to his $14.5m contract after the season.

Everything is magical in Buffalo

 

[Stealth JD]

I mean, Adams and Pegula are fools so this is definitely worth asking from Torontos perspective…but it would have to take diminished mental capacity for anyone to think trading Dahlin is a good idea for Buffalo.

Toronto should just play hardball with Mitch knowing he wants to be in Toronto. Offer him 6 x $10M/yr and dare him to leave as a UFA. If he does, use the money to build a more balanced team. Either that or identify a young, unproven D-man that you can trade him for…but going after another team’s established #1D for a UFA winger is absurd and borderline insulting.

 

[Sticksandsun]

Just let the Leafs sign the razzle dazzle prince to his well deserved $14 million x 8 year deal and Toronto fans will rejoice.
This would be a dumb move for Buffalo. Very very dumb

Go resign him and see what a waste of cap spsce it us when you van easily sign 2 equally decent players for the same price
