If Marner was gone what would people think of Marchessault? I think he would be affordable but would want too much term,

Would be amazing to have Marchessault

 

[ULF_55]

For a 55-60 point 2C? Nah.. I think it's a good contract.

Seems high to me.

15 goal forward?

Looks like an assist guy, but I guess someone has to pass.

I agree, he is like a younger Kerfoot, lol

 

[Dion TheFluff]

People need to stop mentioning Skeji...its been reported he's already signed the contract extension with the Hurricanes. He's not on the market anymore.

So...Skjei = Hurricanes
Pesce = Devils
Demelo = Jets

who's all left?

That would be Slavin, not Skjei.

Skjei and Roy should be Toronto targets if they are going to spend money on D.

Figure Skjei will get 6.75m or around that and Roy will get 5.8m~ Lot of money, but it solves ur top 4 issues

Which is expected. Thats why long term contracts are good right now.

I know Tanev comes with a ton of risk, but outside of Roy for RD. I think I like him the most considering it may only be a 3 year contract.

Considering Zadarov is asking for 5-6 years as well

Roy would be my top choice

DeMelo/Tanev were secondary options

I've written off Pesce

After that it's basically Carrier

 

[Budz]

That price-tag is extremely reasonable.

Must like it in Winnipeg.

He does, young family is settled there.
I had mentioned previously DeMelo was not an option for us.

Skjei is another one that seems doubtful to sign with a Canadian team. American guy who has never played in Canada before.

 

[Folignos Helmet]

I bet we overpay one UFA D and we trade for one maybe with retention like Jensen from WSH or Risto from PHI and then maybe sign a lower end guy like Boosh.

Sign Larry Broissault.

Add a couple of vet forwards for cheap like Pearson or an unqualified RFA.

Outside chance of trading Lily for a C.

Marner I don’t think we have the stones to make it happen.

[Menzinger]

I think this will end up a good deal for the AVS. Imo Casey has always been very underrated since his draft year. A solid top six centre

 

[TheMadHatTrick]

That price-tag is extremely reasonable.

Must like it in Winnipeg.

Damn, another target off the board.

 

[WTFMAN99]

I think Tree is going to need to get at least one impact RD via trade.

Likely 1 LD and 1 RD in UFA

My guess is Leafs get Tanev for like 4.5 aav for 4 years.

 

[OVO16]

Tanev is a solid player but I think he's 1 blocked shot away from retiring.

I just dont know how much I really want him. Not to mention he's on the older side

 

[613Leafer]

My guess is Leafs get Tanev for like 4.5 aav for 4 years.

He's the same age as Brodie, and we've all seen Brodie's play fall off a cliff all of a sudden due to age.

A 4 year deal for Tanev is very risky. He legitimately could as early as next year have taken a significant step back.

There is an opening on the Island now?
Didn't Muzzin take the ferry back over to the mainland?

Agreed. I'm hoping someone saves Treliving here and scoops up Tanev. Im cheering for him to re-sign with the Stars

Treliving seriously needs to get rid of hard-on for former players

Tanev / Stars absolutely crushed other team's through the first 2 rounds, Edmonton started to get the better of them but McDavid broke a Gretzky record so not gonna be too hard on Tanev.

It really just needs to be a smart contract, 5M per for 2 years is acceptable.

 

[CapspaceKiller]

"Only"? Trading Marner is pretty significant as it changes the entire team dynamic and outlook of the team. The return would also be pretty big in terms of assets and probably cap space.

I don't expect much other than a few secondary players dumped, maybe an addition by trading picks/prospects and mostly more of the same.

I stated "only", because I see a lot of people on here thinking 4-5 moves.

Its probably "only" 1, maybe 2.

Yes, the Marner trade is a huge trade. But there won't be much after it.

Okay, so if someone said a key player for a Cup run was 36 year old Tanev in 2026?
