You are literally just making stuff up for the sake of argument. Toronto has no say in whether he signs an extension with a new team or not. The only thing they can do is refuse to allow teams to discuss a contract extension with him prior to making a trade. However if they do that they are going to have a hard time dealing him at all. There is nothing preventing Marner from signing an 8 year extension immediately after being traded.It feels like you are trying to be right, rather than logical. Marner has more value to Nashville if he comes with an extension. Therefore Toronto will facilitate an extension being in place. This is the whole point of finding a place Marner wants to go to. Again, Marner wants to get paid and Nashville doesn't want only one year of Marner. These are the conditions that make a trade work for all three parties.
Also, look up the Mark Stone deal to Vegas. He got traded but didn't sign an extension until the following March because you can't sign a max term deal until then after being acquired in a trade. Since, Nashville and Marner may not want to wait that long a sign and trade could remedy this.

Once again you are just making stuff up here with Mark Stone. He got traded February 25th of 2019 and signed the extension on March 8th of 2019, that's less than a month after the trade. It had nothing to do with the max term and 100% to do with the tagging rule.
