Doesn’t make sense to trade 26-27 year old guys to keep around a JT that’ll be 33 at puck drop next season.
That's the thing. Not much of a trade market out there for Tavares while it'll be huge for someone like Marner. You also know once Tavares contract is up he's not getting anything close to that while the other will probably get more.Doesn’t make sense to trade 26-27 year old guys to keep around a JT that’ll be 33 at puck drop next season.
Probably more that there isn't enough money available here.Yup. And you gotta ask yourself why? He wants another kick at the can and why not his home town? Unless he looked at the dressing room and realized "this ain't it
I don't think it's completely out of the question. They got their #1C in Beniers and giving him a playmaker like Marner is only gonna help him. Meanwhile for us we get a possible #2C behind Matthews especially after Tavares contract is up and a guy who can play LW/C either on the 2nd line or 3rd line to give you some more scoring depth and another weapon on the PP. That 1st can be used to help us move up in the draft or use it to trade back and pick up an extra pick or 2 while still having a 1st round pick. I was thinking about this trade earlier tbh. Can be a very good hockey trade for both sides especially if Wright can play up to his potential.You think Seattle would do McCann + Wright + 1st for Marner or am I out to lunch?
Wright scares me.You think Seattle would do McCann + Wright + 1st for Marner or am I out to lunch?
Tbh I'd want to move Marner out of the conference unless a team in our conference massively overpays.I dont like many marner trades Cozens and Ostlund + 1st round pick sounds like a good deal to me though.
Maybe...maybe not.Probably more that there isn't enough money available here.
Why would Buffalo move Cozens for Marner outright?I dont like many marner trades Cozens and Ostlund + 1st round pick sounds like a good deal to me though.

Boston has 6 mil in cap spaceI'd take a pretty soft return on JT....
For example, Tavares visited Boston when he was a UFA...the centre group of UFA is terrible. They can't rebuild because they've got McAvoy, Carlo, Lindholm, Marchand, Pasta etc all signed to be competitive.
Could they do something like Hall or Marchand, maybe accompanied by Reilly for Tavares?
I just think the teams that he visited with prior to signing with us could maybe be a conversation starter if we asked him to waive.

Rielly bleeds blue
He prove his worth in the playoffs
I dont see them moving on from Marchand unless they rebuild, and even then its questionableMike Reilly (3M) - they've tried to dump him for over a year and Hall/Marchand make in the 6M territory.

Definitely need to focus on our blueline. With Nylander and Marner in our hands, I’m really hoping we can acquire Brandt Clarke from LA.What ever we do we need to build a rock solid defence for one.
If we trade
Marner
Brodie
Murray or buyout
LTIR Muzzin
Sign
Orlov 6 mil Boston can't afford to sign him
Soucy 3.5 mil
Schenn 2 mil
Rielly Orlov
McCabe Lilly
Soucy Schenn
Just so I understand everyone's line of thinking... We can't score in the playoffs but we want to trade forwards for defence????????
Marner for Keller + Crouse.
You trade one of Matthews bffs for another, get two players that have a similar cap hit to Marners. Add size and scoring. Will need to look at how bad of a hit it is for defence but yeah.
Misread what the previous poster said.Mike Reilly (3M) - they've tried to dump him for over a year and Hall/Marchand make in the 6M territory.
