I know cap space is a problem, but moving Marner would open a lot of things up. If OV's goal is to win more cups and pass Gretzky, what better place to do it than in the center of the hockey world? Age be damned, he's still a prime player. Matthews, Tavares, Nylander, Ovechkin, and the rest would be a contender for the next 5 years easily.

It would be beneficial to OV, Toronto fans, but also MLSE because it would be a huge marketing opportunity for them.

I think he would have a much better shot to win another cup in Toronto than Washington, in addition to finishing up that record.

One step closer to the HHOF...

I suppose he might take a pay cut to be part of the right team, but not that big of a one.

Moving Marner out to bring in Ovechkin sounds like a step back for the team

Not really, if it would fill up your cupboard with blue chip prospects while replacing the hole left with someone that would make your team better now in the short term.

Matthews with OV is better than Matthews with Marner.

LOL. Yeah, lets trade 24 year old Mitch Marner for a guy who will be 36 when next season starts.

Good thinking,.

No, let's trade him for an up and comer and sign a free agent.

If someone offered you a Cale Makar and OV along with maybe another pick for Marner alone, you wouldn't take it?

Maybe. He might want to buy a retirement house here.

If serious - this thread is disgusting.
 
Sure

Hyman - Matthews - Nylander
Ovechkin - Tavares - Marner
Mikhayev - Getzlaf - Robertson
Brooks - Engvall - Anderson

Rielly - Brodie
Muzzin - Holl
Sandin - Liljgren

:P

Marner is a top 10 NHL player just entering his prime. What on Earth are you thinking? Hot take city.

Matthews
McDavid
MacKinnon
Scheifele
Barkov

Kucherov
Rantanen
Pastrnak
Nylander

Not top ten and that's with leaving a lot of other great players I'd rather have.

OV isn't going anywhere.

Besides being the face of the franchise, he brings in a boatload of revenue for Leonsis (jersey sales, tickets, hockey related paraphernalia etc.).
