Lol Buffalo, nor any teams are giving up those pieces for Marner. Some of you are not being realistic
Lol you can't actually believe Rangers are trading fox for Marner. Jacob isn't waiving for Toronto. they aren't trading Miller or Brandon for two years of Marner and his cap.
You ask for twice what you want then settle for what you actually wanted to begin with, you don't think buffalo would offer a first round pick for Marnier every team in the league would do that trade but it doesn't help Toronto. now what about 2 first or maybe all 3 of their firsts my point was the type of teams you should be looking( ready to break out) and the type of assets you would inquire about (young cost controlled with huge potential)

Actually, since Marner is a UFA in 2 summers, I think playoff teams will be the teams that are more interested in paying up to acquire him. If he had a 5 or 6 year contract, teams trying to take that next step would probably be more interested.
wishful thinking as far as I know.
No idea. He's still their most untouchable D as far as I know. Lindholm being the next least available and then Carlo third least available.
Who on the main boards is ever happy about a trade proposal unless their team is the one ripping the other team off.
Mirtle just stated that AM WILL NOT sign an extension before July 1st....TRANSLATION....SIMMONS SAYS: Big skilled centres such as Auston Matthews are irreplacable
Everything about the Maple Leafs has to start with Auston Matthews.
The new Leafs GM has a large decision to make. Do you keep Mitch Marner or do you keep William Nylander? Really, you can’t keep both. If you’re signing Matthews and you’re stuck with John Tavares for two more years, that means one of Marner or Nylander has to be traded if the viewpoint is that you can’t stick with the Core Four. Matthews should be untouchable. Tavares won’t waive his no-trade arrangement. That leaves the difficult choice between Marner and Nylander … Nylander is the more spectacular player. Marner is better all-around, especially defensively. Nylander has proven he can change a playoff game. Marner has not been able to do that. You can go back and forth on this, but one of them, really, has to go … I don’t believe it’s possible, but a Marner-or-Nylander trade for Charlie McAvoy or Quinn Hughes type of player would intrigue me … Is there a coach out there who believes Nylander could play centre full time? Moving Nylander to centre and Tavares to the wing could solve at least one Toronto problem if that is doable.
He quite literally can not sign an extension before July 1st.
I am a believer in Woll. My fear is that Woll will take over as the #1 and Samsonov will regress going forward and the Leafs will be stuck paying their backup ~5M - look at what happened to Husso. Forsberg can play 40 games for the Leafs no problem. His SV% and GSAx dropped this year but he was still an above average goalie (top 30 in GSAx/60). It would be the "safe" play to bet on the older, cheaper player while gaining an asset.
You can't put anything in writing before July 1st. He can realistically say, regardless of who the GM is or was going to be: "it's against the CBA to discuss my next contract prior to July 1st" and have all of the leverage. He could negotiate a contract in good faith prior to July 1st but he would be foolish to do so. His agent is smart enough to not agree to anything prior to July 1st and just wait until he has a NMC and all of the leverage.
I'd rather they cash out on Samsonov at his peak value than sign him to a 1 year deal and walk him to UFA.
I'd hope Dubas brought it up. Auston and his agent can say whatever they want to get to July 1st though.
