I’ll take the cup winner over someone who hasn’t seen game 6 of Round 2

 

[Sens With Benefits]

Nah. Mitch falls apart in the playoffs.

 

[TheNumber4]

Avs could win this trade, when Marner realizes how much easier it is to perform outside Toronto.

 

[Tralfamadore]

Leafs need Marner more. He's a facilitator. Mikko doesn't create a ton on his own.

 

[TheBeard]

Miko should cost Marner and a Knies.

No from AVs

 

[frightenedinmatenum2]

It only makes sense if:
Rantanen insists on testing the market and wants 13+.
Marner is willing to sign for a reasonable cap hit like 10M-11M, but Toronto doesn't want him.
Colorado would pay Marner 10M-11M.
Marner would waive to sign in Colorado.

In that scenario, Colorado downgrades by they get term. Toronto upgrades, and the cost to upgrade is a sunk cost since they don't want to keep Marner anyways.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

In a vacuum the value is probably reasonably close. Maybe Rantanen carries a bit more value given playoff pedigree and the whole Goals>Assists... But its also a deal that simply isn't gonna happen either. Both guys are going to either re-sign or end up as UFAs. Neither team will trade their guy.

 

[Dennis Reynolds]

What are the significant pieces that Toronto is adding?

 

[Shark Finn]

The last thread on this went so well so why not again

 

[Hockey 4 Life]

What are the significant pieces that Toronto is adding?

None because neither player will be traded. They either resign or go to UFA.

 

[TruePowerSlave]

Why would the Avs even do this?

Downgrading and still getting a pending UFA

Colorado would say no. MR isn't a player that isn't working out or anything of that sort, he's a huge part of the core, they'd likely want to add to him not swap him. I don't see the Avs not re-signing him either.

Yeah sure

Toronto would be better off with Rantanen, he would help to change their ”culture”

Marner’s salary ask will be prohibitive even with and especially with Knies.
