Proposal: Marner for Swayman +

[SensontheRush]

Is this worth exploring for either team?

Something like:

Marner for Swayman + Poitras + Geekie

Feels pretty cursed lol.

Well, you do have to even out salaries.

I feel like Poitras is too much an add from the Bruins side, but if this were to go down, Swayman is not enough to nab Marner IMO, especially given the impass the Bruins are facing.

I was initially doing Swayman + Frederic + ?.

Plus is on the wrong side there, particularly with Marner a year out from UFA and able to go where he pleases.

I think if this trade were to go down both teams would have to negotiate contracts in advance, though fair point, and that would get rid of one of the hurdles in this possible transaction.

Poitras being too much to add is putting it lightly. Boston has adds because of cap reasons but Toronto isn't getting the pending UFA here. So Toronto should be the team adding futures

There's also the fact that 1RW is likely the position that the Bruins need the least, haha.

I think we are talking skilled enough players that handedness wouldn't really get in the way of stacking a 1st with Marner and Pasta. Nor is attempting to build two 1st lines problematic IMO.

In itself it isn't, but when you look at their goalie situation without Swayman, virtually no amount of scoring will help.

Marner & Woll for Swayman, Frederic & Lohrei

Tell me the last goalie to return a player like Marner nvm plus

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

I can't see Marner waving to go to an arch rival. But Marner and Pastrnak on the same line would be sick.

A playoff no show with a year left? Returning a longterm solution in net with some of the best numbers in the league?

LMAO. Swayman alone doesn't sniff a Marner return.

I like Swayman, but goalies don't have tjat level of value.

 

[BronxBruin]

Trade value aside, I don't know if the Bruins even could fit Marner's next cap hit under the cap if they wanted to (which they probably don't since they already have one winger making 8 figures). Marchand, Geekie, Frederic, & Lohrei will all likely be due for decent raises -- and it's not like they have that many awful cap dumps that they'd want to ship out (other than Korpisalo who they'd apparently be riding with if they traded Swayman).

How well does Marner play goalie?
