Proposal: Calgary and Toronto: Tkachuk-Marner swap over the summer
- Thread starter super6646

Didn't writing Gaudreau, Mangiapane, and Marner trigger a warning bell for you? That's a tiny top 6.
Mangiapane is gonna get paid, so we do not need to spend even more money on wingers.

If mangi keeps his play up, our natural lwers are going to be in the 25 million dollar range. That’s why I suggested the swap.

I mean, I am insulted…but by HfBoards standards this proposal is actually average (you could argue better than average) so I didn’t know what to vote

I’d be pretty pissed if Toronto pulled this off. They stand a lot to gain from it and now there’s two Tkachucks in the division.
Yes, Marner's cap was higher than I remembered. Also NMC for the last two years, which makes it bad for Flames if he doesn't want to re-sign. I'd rather have Tkachuk if he signs for less than $10M per for 7-8 years

Not more than 11 million though... well with Dubas in charge of the signing who knows.
Going to an even more highly paid small winger doesn't seem like a good solution though.
I assume one of Gaudreau or Tkachuk is traded this year. Marner isn't who I want to replace them with
Ya I just do not want to go into summer with an unsigned Gaudreau and Tkachuk with a one year option. I'd rather trade Gaudreau half way through a playoff push haha
This is interesting and worthy of consideration as the basis of a trade, although I think a case can be made that Calgary should add another second tier piece. A lot of Leaf fans probably feel Marner is far more valuable but is that how other NHL GM's see things? If the Leafs choose to move one of the big guns I think Marner is the guy. I don't want to move Matthews. Tavares won't get the same level of return, maybe not much of one at all because of the contract. Nylander could be moved but he is the guy who has performed in big games recently when the other three have not, and he's also paid quite a bit less.
The contract for Tkachuk is obviously a big item that could affect any deal.
Even though I would think about this one, I wouldn't make any trade now. The Leafs committed to sticking with the core this season, and so it needs to play out. It's too early in the season for this kind of trade. If we get to mid-season and it's a gong show, I wouldn't be looking at just trading one guy, I'd be considering a complete and total overhaul of the front office and the roster.

After seeing the Brady contract negotiations, is it really unreasonable to think Matthew will be asking for $11M on a long-term deal? Certainly, he'll be pushing for $10M+.
The Leafs are really in a bad position with the contracts they have. While having some sandpaper on the top lines will help, Hyman provided that before he signed with Edmonton. Ritchie was supposed to provide it. Foligno was supposed to provide it. If Marner goes, it will have to be for a young cost-controlled player to give the Leafs some cap flexibility in the short term. To lose Marner for around $1M in cap relief isn't worth it.

Tkachuk is going home to St. Louis in 2023.
As neutral team fan, I would take Tkachuk at his contract vs. Marner at his. Can't have a guy who disappears in the playoffs taking up $11 million in cap space.

1.) to be fair…… they said the same about Brady
2.) Matt hasn’t exactly led the flames to the promise land

I like this proposal from a Flames perspective, but also from a Leafs perspective. I actually proposed this about 7 months ago. I would want a small add (2nd rd. pick) for the Flames for taking on the additional salary.
