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.
