This idea of Marner for Kempe + Clarke is an interesting one. Yes, Kempe is a big drop in talent over Marner. Clarke is a guy, who could be in Norris discussions one day, if he hits his potential... so he'd be a very nice acquisition. I don't think he'd be ready to play for us this year though, but probably next year. I do feel LA would add a bit, but I'm not sure. Kempe is also more of a goal scorer, than setup guy, and I'm not sure how we replace that elite setup guy in our lineup. I wonder what Tarasenko would cost, in this scenario?
