[Leaf Fans]

No thanks.

 

[tgo0]

Don’t understand the incentive for the leafs here

 

[DingDongCharlie]

A 1st line two-way winger, top 4D and a 1st while getting out of that contact of Marner and Leaf fans will be coming out to say not close. Love HF.

 

[PastaSawce]

No thanks.

Yeah, I agree. Preds hang up the phone immediately.

To Nashville: Mitch Marner, Justin Holl

No way Preds do this. The unprotected 1st is particularly galling here. Marner. Great player, still an awful contract for a guy that’s crapped his pants in the post season. He’d be on a lottery team In Nashville after this brutal trade.

 

[Leaf Fans]

Yeah, I agree. Preds hang up the phone immediately.

Of course they would. Why would they wait to be told no?

Maybe they like the wicked winger. Hmm

 

[SnizzMitch]

both team says no lol

 

[bigbabybuda]

This makes the Leafs a worse team this year which is all that is important to them and should be. Marner is infinitely better than Forsberg. Makes no sense for them. It also is a bad deal for Nashville as I have no idea why they would be trading their first rd pick as they look to be a lottery team. Trade make 0 sense whatsoever

Marner's contract is bad but I guarantee you neither fans nor management are looking to "get out of it".

As for the trade it's a tempting one for sure

 

[bigbabybuda]

Something much smaller like the Leafs first and a prospect for Forsberg makes some sense if money is retained and the Leafs decide to go that way. I wouldn't do it as I think the Leafs did pickup the secondary scoring they need in the off season but I could see it happening.

 

[Hockey 4 Life]

Marner is to good of a player to give up for two older players one being injury prone. Both press players are really good but I'd much prefer Marner.

That 1st line winger is a UFA

Forsberg has 11 goals and 16 points in 16 games. How is Marner infinitely better?

Marner has over 100pts more than him in the last 4 years. That is how. I dont judge players on 20 game sample sizes instead of 200 game samples.

 

[Armourboy]

Yeah gonna go with a big ole no on this one.

Marner a better play maker, I'll give you that, Forsberg better at goal scoring, by a lot. Forsberg needs to stay healthy too.

 

[John Johnson]

Both teams fans say no which means value=good.

 

[Armourboy]

Yeah but Forsberg is also currently 4 mil a year cheaper too and certainly won't be anywhere near Marner's contract even if he does hit free agency.

 

[The Podium]

Marner has become the most underrated player on these boards

 

[Soundgarden]

Hell no from Nashville, like OP didn't even care to figure out our team's wants and needs.

 

[Djp]

To Toronto: Filip Forsberg, Mattias Ekholm, 1st round pick

To Nashville: Mitch Marner, Justin Holl

nashville laughs…

No….

it’s crap to nashville because Marner is overpaid be about $4M and is a UFA in 2+ yrs.

Seriously? They get a ppg winger that's cheaper than the one they send back, a top pairing defense and a 1st that's earlier than theirs for a 1st line winger and a prospect.

EDIT: Holl isn't even a prospect he's a 29y old defenseman who's never hit more than 20 points.
