Speculation: Armchair GM Thread

I’m wondering what the cost would be if Toronto were to trade both Marner and Tavares in the same deal

Is there some reasoning that makes any logical sense that a division leader (at the 50 game mark) would trade 2 PPG forwards (Tavares is 2 off) in the same deadline, let alone the same deal?

21 million dollars, both UFAs, just curious

It would have to be a very weird situation where the return is able to replace their production, aren't albatross contracts, presumably aren't UFAs, and are good fits with the Leafs roster and system and then for the other side to then be able to re-sign Marner and/or Tavares and/or trade them for the desired asset return. It's a unicorn of a trade.

We can just sign Tavares in the summer as a UFA. I think he'd fit beautifully on our roster, he checks basically all the boxes! Just print off a copy of the Stamkos contract, scratch off his name and write Tavares in on top (preferably with blue crayon). Done!

He's definitely old enough.
