He's past his production peak. Still, a serviceable 2nd line type that while a perimeter player, is good enough defensively to have a place on a winner.
Good summary. Past his peak but the idea that he's washed is harsh - I think he has plenty of solid years left as a complimentary second line/middle six forward.

Should be plenty of interest in him.

Carolina has a lot of space available. Some guys are heading out. Others will come in. They just won't be as deep as last year; no Orlov on the 3rd pair or Teravainen/Jarvis on the Staal line. That's the salary cap.

If Guentzel is successfully re-signed and/or they kick the can down the road on Necas, Teravainen is not the best fit stylistically. Need to get heavier.

Very curious to see what he ends up getting as a UFA. He's a very talented playmaker, but he's small and soft and doesn't really offer a lot else beyond his offensive creativity. Not the sort of guy teams typically go wild for in UFA.

Biggest thing is, i feel like him hitting the UFA market hurts any potential Marner trade market. Why trade a bunch for impending UFA Marner @ $11M and probably wanting a raise...when you can get ~75% of the same player for "free" in UFA for half the price on the cap?


But it also maybe makes Carolina more solidly a destination for a Marner trade. Especially if they also deal Necas away. Maybe they're in a position to pay for the Full Marner rather than the three quarters version?
