Link? Was it radio?

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

That's a steal for Toronto.

 

[PettersonHughes]

It makes sense cap-wise, but wouldn't VGK trade Hill and Theodore? Neither team has much money and all 3 have one year left so they can each see who fits and who doesn't (and they flip any poor fits). At the same time, Vegas is so top heavy in their forwards so I have my doubts about whether they keep adding up front.

Lastly, if VGK was smart I think they should flip their expirings for 1sts and prospects so their longevity can be extended, instead of going all in every year.

One of the things with Marner is that, a lot of people suspect that Vegas will be around it, because Vegas is just...they're smart. They're around any good player. So I got people hypothesizing, Shea Theodore+Logan Thompson deals to me, for example.

Marner for Theodore and Thompson would be interesting. This is also not the first time Vegas likely being in on Marner has been mentioned.

I guess now that cap friendly is on the verge of being gone Vegas can hide their cap situation from Friedman for his made up rumours

 

[eviohh26]

But would he be a god in Vegas ?

 

[DJB]

Leafs trading Marner for two 1 year UFA’s would be dumb

Yes I’m aware Marner is a UFA as well but you need a better return on that type of player

 

[Avilaj07]

Leafs trading Marner for two 1 year UFA’s would be dumb

Obviously this trade is with the intention of Marner extending in Vegas and both Theodore and Thompson extending in Toronto

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

A where would be nice.

When has the salary cap EVER stopped Vegas?

Marner is also a one year UFA

Why is that obvious?

 

[Avilaj07]

Why is that obvious?

Because you don't trade such high end players of this caliber to just be a 1 year rental.

Hey Mcrimmon, you don't have to be in on every f***ing player that becomes available. You do know that right?

Theodore would make sense for the Leafs, but i am not sure about Thompson. He had his struggles during the season and Dallas exposed his weakness in round 1.

Sounds like a lot of spitballing, but Vegas is probably in on him.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

That would waive goodbye to Marchessault, yeah?

 

[JKG33]

I don't for a second believe Vegas would be that stupid, a top pairing D and a 1A/B goalie to split the net with Woll? For that overpaid soft loser? All hail King Brad

The fact that Friedman is willing to throw names out there and mentions Theodore and Thompson specifically makes me think there might be some smoke there.

I think it's become clear Vegas likes Hill better. He was the day 1 starter this season, and they were quick to go back to him in the playoffs. Thompson only started cause he got hot down the stretch

Marner doesn't have to accept any trade at all, so they could lose him for nothing. Trading for two year-long rentals isn't the worst idea in that scenario.

They're a top destination so they should easily be able to sign either of them after a season-long tryout. I actually think the smarter move is just to make the trade for the players as-is.

 

[Sasha Orlov]

Horrific for Vegas

 

[BHawk21]

So Vegas would end up losing Marchessault, Theodore, Thompson, Stevenson, Amadio, and Carrier this summer?

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

I mean I'm guessing an extension would be worked out for at least Shea Theodore, if not Theodore and Tompson
