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

[thaman8765678]

Marner is not a Sutter player and also we don't want to pay his 15 million per year contract or whatever it is.

Good player, horrendous contract.

You forgot to add score shorthanded, powerplay and even strength goals. He is a sandpaper guy and is way better than you are making him out to be. I was skeptical when we signed him, but quite quickly I saw how he fits with skill players. Toronto will definitely miss Hyman and man are the Oilers happy to have him.

No...he isnt. You're also literally echoing what I said. He's there to get the puck to skilled players.

If you think hes going to continue the pace of 82 goals in a season right now... You should probably stop thinking that the NHL is an XBOX game on easy mode.

Calgary needs a top 4 D as well, right? How about this?
Marner + Rielly for Tkachuck + Gaudreau? I know both are upcoming FA but it gives both teams and players a chance to see how the fit is before committing to anything long term and I think provide better fits in each line up.

This is a really bad take and Calgary would never consider that

Not only that but why the Leafs would want to trade D for more help in their top 6 is insanity.

 

[MattMartin]

I think this is a good deal for both sides. The only thing that scares me is, Dubas trying to sign Tkachuk in the off season. He might get 15 mil for 3 years.

I don’t have a horse in this race, but I voted to burn you at the stake, because I’m always up for a good old fashioned BBQ

Don’t invite this guy to parties LOL

 

[RavenGuard]

My morale is soooo low right now with this team, I just don't have it in me to argue.

I remember that feeling as an Oilers fan. It lasted from about 2009-2016. Hopefully your time frame is much shorter

 

[JoemAvs]

Are there really teams/fans out there that are fine with paying Mitch Marner 10.9M / year in a flat cap world?

Let alone give up significant value in return?

Fascinating.

 

[Volica]

Value wise it isn't terrible, but it doesn't make sense for Calgary. Gaudreau and Marner are not the make up of a Sutter top 6.

Sutter doesn’t demand size. He demands structure. Gaudreau has been applauded heavily by the coach to his commitment to the back check.

Gaudreau hasn’t looked this engage without the puck since his rookie season.

Not a single Oilers fan thinks he's going to score 82 goals. Holy Hyperbole Batman!!

a 3 game winning streak will have me ready to get punched in the nuts again lol.

 

[RavenGuard]

Man, ain't that the damn truth!!! I'd get a semi when the Oilers played back to back good periods in the same game. I never had expectations as lofty as a 3 game winning streak.

Oiler fans are built for disappointment by now. I can see Hyman getting his first 30 goal season. Enough about my team we were talking about the Leafs missing Hyman and how it shows in their lineup.

If I was in charge of teh Leafs i would be moving out Marner for a haul of cheap youth and picks to give the cap a break. There would need to be a key piece that can plug into the roster. The leafs do not need a big money guy but they do need depth.

 

[Ainsy01]

This is a really bad take and Calgary would never consider that

how is that bad? a top line RW and a top pair D for two top line LW's?

 

[Cor]

A Flames fan proposed this?

Awesome. No take backs.

 

[Cor]

Value wise it isn't terrible, but it doesn't make sense for Calgary. Gaudreau and Marner are not the make up of a Sutter top 6.

Gaudreau likely leaving in the off-season anyway.

 

[Double Dion]

Gaudreau likely leaving in the off-season anyway.

I kind of doubt he's leaving. I could see Tkachuk being moved. Gaudreau has been a great fit with Sutter.

Honestly man...what we need is a youngish 65 point winger making 6-7 million...under term.

That way we don't lose all of marners offence and can use that four million in space for depth.

 

[LuGBuG]

If I'm the leafs. The way the roster is constructed right now, I trade Marner for Tkachuk instantly.
