Speculation: Is there a team in the NHL that would trade for Marner and take his full contract ?

[ViD]

If so, what teams can afford it and what it would cost ?

Every team?

 

[ViD]

Every team?

Very few teams can afford that cap hit which would also entail sending back top assets

 

[Jumptheshark]

yes... Every fan base has a Whipping boy and MM is the leafs.

MM is 5th in pts in the nhl over the past 3 years. 7pts behind Matthews. The guy is a good player--but the leafs have 3 players on 10mill + and that is a problem--when all 3 are FWDS that is a bigger problem

you will be sending top assets and contracts back

 

[Junohockeyfan]

That's a lot of cap to give to a soft, one-dimensional scorer. I don't think he's worth the caphit and without Matthews he would be even more exposed.

 

[Mr Kot]

If at all possible, you try and move tavares first.

 

[Gurglesons]

That's a lot of cap to give to a soft, one-dimensional scorer. I don't think he's worth the caphit and without Matthews he would be even more exposed.

Lol. Not sure what you mean by one-dimensional. Marner averages 2 minutes per game on the PK over the last three seasons while scoring at a 90+ pt rate.

 

[Junohockeyfan]

This and 100% agree. Tavares is playing well and if you can dump that contract now you do it before he inevitably becomes a capdump.

 

[Hockeygod66]

yeah plenty

Taveras has a NMC, he and his wife are torontonians with friends and family in Toronto. Zero chance he waives it

 

[Chainshot]

I would imagine plenty of teams would be interested. The issue would be trying to do it in the season since so many teams are capped out but this summer it would probably be easier to find a taker and not have to worry as much about a limit to the field of teams able to make the move happen.

 

[stewy04]

Not a leaf fan.He isn't your problem. He is a star

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

They should do Seth Jones + Kane for Marner + Muzzin or someone else

 

[mouser]

Today? No.

Next summer off-season? Yes.

 

[Seras]

That's a lot of cap to give to a soft, one-dimensional scorer. I don't think he's worth the caphit and without Matthews he would be even more exposed.

I mean at least get one of those right to make it seem like you know what your talking about.

 

[93LEAFS]

He's been voted the top RWer in the NHL two seasons in a row. Some team absolutely would.

 

[Siludin]

Canucks probably would but I doubt a deal gets done cause other teams could offer more. It would have to be like Marner is disgruntled and publicly demands a trade but then says he only wants to play on the West Coast or something... but even then I think the other West Coast teams could offer better packages. Canucks would probably offer something around JT Miller, Rathbone, Lekkerimaki... have to use the Tkachuk deal as a template for something like this.

 

[GhostofYotesFan47]

Maybe? I'd imagine Toronto would want some stuff that helps them win now.

To Toronto:
Gourde
Tanev
Fleury
2024 1st (top 5 protection)
2023 2nd (TOR)
2023 2nd (WPG) or Saucy (not sure about Muzzin, is he expected to be back?)

To Seattle:
Marner
Sandin

 

[FSL KINGS]

Let's see
Marner 10.9

Cal 5
Walker 2.65
Ardvidsson 4.25

=11.9

Sure, maybe even upgrade Walker to Durzi at 1.7 to even it up.

 

[Leafs87]

So far two fans have undervalued Marner completely. He’s overpaid undoubtedly but the Leafs aren’t the same without him.

Tavares is the issue as discussed above but he’ll be an issue until his contract matures. He’s got all the control and he’ll never move his NTC. The Leafs asking is an awful move that would send a bad msg to FAs about TO so even discussing a Tavares move makes no sense.


The Leafs just have to wait for the cap to increase heavily. They really can’t do much this season with the way the teams built

 

[zar]

He's been voted the top RWer in the NHL two seasons in a row. Some team absolutely would.

By who?

I am not debating Marner is a very good RW, a top 5 RW… a very good player in general, but I contest he would not be the consensus best RW in the game two years running.

 

[lanceuppercut75]

Picks and prospects would also be involved in these deals, including very good ones, but that isn't the important thing to focus on in this thread.

These are legitimately crazy and a lot of them wouldn't happen, but what the heck.

BUF - Skinner, Jokiharju and Peterka / Krebs for Marner and Muzzin
DET - Vrana, Hronek, Suter and Edvinsson / Kaspar for Marner, Engvall, Holl
FLO - Ekblad, Duclair, Bobrovsky for Marner, Muzzin, Murray
NJD - Marino, Graves, Tatar, Wood, Johnsson (@50%), Holtz / Mercer, Blackwood for Marner, Sandin, Holl, Aston-Reese, Simmonds, J Anderson, Murray

I'm too lazy to keep going, but yeah, you can make these for a lot of teams, if you just assume there will be all kinds of picks and top prospects and such involved as well.

Again, because a lot of people on this site cannot or will not read, these are not trade proposals, because there would also be picks and prospects involved, including 1sts and blue chips possibly, so don't attack these trades for being terrible value. You don't know the value because you don't know the full trade.

Whoever votes on End of Season All-Star awards. I believe its the PHWA.

[Pietrangelo]

Strip Tavares of the C and try it on someone else before you start trying to trade away star players
