a few of these are definitely potential deals, obviously some adjusting is needed but the frame work is there

I'm in the minority.

I don't think Marner will be traded.

That NMC he has pretty much guarantees it.

But never say never, right?

Marner trades pay the bills on CFACGM. 🤭

I like trades 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13.

The Wild should be willing to move Brodin or Spurgeon as part of a deal for Marner, but I cannot imagine Ek would ever be considered by them as part of this trade.
Personally, I think they should pursue Marner as a long-term linemate for Kaprizov, or so the Wild can have 2 scoring lines.

Let's be real. Marner's 11m salary is only fair value at best. So it's not like teams are think they are getting a great deal for him if they give up picks or ELC players. They would be better just use the cap space to sign UFA themselves.
Some of those trades you have, have the Leafs taking back long term iffy iffy contracts. IMO the Leafs the Leafs would be better just to sign short term UFAs for the 11m Marner money.
Marner's NMC can't be ignored. Without an extension, he no reason to leave the Leafs so you can rack his 95 points playing on a good team with good line mates and a good PP. He goes to "poorer" team he might be exposed as not a 95 point player.

So what is one year of Marner worth. (let's not take extensions). Is he worth let's say UFAs Toffelli for three years and Tanev for three years. IMO that's a good deal for the Leafs.
So if that's the case, the Leafs would be better just giving him away...so they could use his cap to get six years of value from two players. Yeah, I know "giving him away" ain't happening, but would it be such as bad trade off?

I dont believe Marner will waive, so i dont think it really matters. Hes much better off staying with the leafs, adding another great statistical regular season, then get to sign for the money he wants with any team he wants.

That being said, Jackets have no reason to trade for him at all. We are not in a position to add another winger and we certainly arent close to being a contender, like he will want to go to.

I don't think your in the minority but it's just popular right now on here


For me its not about his play the question is can you win beyond next year with 3 players making $11.5M+ The Issue with Matthews and Marner is that they did not sign max term so the Leaf's don't get the benefit of the lower contact in years 6,7 and 8. If Marner had 3 more years at $10.9M its not bad value

It’s not that he’s worthless, but there are two huge things working against the Leafs in terms of getting a good return: the NMC and sky-high cap hit for a player who right or wrong is found lacking when it counts. It doesn’t make sense for a team in a rebuild to shell out assets for him as he is not the difference between lottery and contention, and good teams who need a good winger aren’t trying to spend 11m for the privilege of his services (most of them literally cannot). It’s like trying to sell a diamond in a prison: the inmates either can’t afford it or don’t need it.

Yeah it's more about the Leafs pay structure going forward.

Shammy doesn't want to admit it doesn't work.

They make the trade because there are not many players of his quality in the League never mind available and willing to sign with them via UFA.

You make the point that his contact is fair and I think that every team is good with a fair contact so they now focus on the quality of the player. He is the best playmaker not named McDavid in the NHL, Selke candidate. Is he soft? sure he is but that doesn't mean he can't be a difference maker on a team that is built right for the playoffs.

The NMC is only an issue IF he does not waive it as long as you have 2 teams that he waves for and they both want him the value will go up.

His cap is not that high for a player of his quality and with the cap rising again.

GMs don't think like fans (or Media who are selling to fans) They understand What he can and cannot bring to a team and different teams have different motivations on how they build their team even if they all say they want to win the CUP.

The reason people don't want Marner is because of posters like yourself who actually think Marner is worth another teams 1c Like Eriksson Ek whose never getting Moved. Brodin is considered to be Minnesota 1 or 2d, but one of the best Shutdown Dman in the NHl with complete NMC, So, before posting things like this, consider other teams need and maybe don't be surprised if other react to it

1st this is not my AGM What did I say in my post that was wrong?
2nd TOO Many people take this site to seriously some people just enjoy posting different scenarios and discussing the possibility and view points to LEARN other teams needs.
3rd The reason people on this form don't want Marner is because they are LEAF haters cause its easy to ignore their posts but they all flock to add their meaningless post with nothing constructive to add.

Buddy, no one hates the Leafs half as much as Leafs fans do. No one else cares.

A late 1st and a bag of pucks.

The poster who started this thing along with other leafs posters keeps trying to stick Marner on wild fans. 2nd, the poster posted outlandish things like Marner for eriksson ek and brodin. Thinking marner would even get ek

"Stick Marner on Wild Fans" LMAO

Yeah that’s what leafs fans like yourself are doing and then overvaluing Marner thinking another team like wild are giving up their 1C who’s not getting traded. In addition you actually think Marner will get a 1C like EK and stud Dman like Brodin

But if you disagree you can ignore the post and move on with your life or open a discussion about why you think the value is off and offer a counter.

Have you read the this board? they hate the Leaf's and I get it We have the biggest fan base and with that comes many different views and degree of knowledge. not to mention the trolls that pretend to be Leaf fans to get everyone going. As a Leaf fan it can get annoying seeing all the Leaf's posts

But if you post a realistic post on here you tend to get 0 comments. As soon as you post something people disagree with you get lots of comments

Most people have no idea what the value of a player is. They get post a few times until people stop crying about their post

All prospects are like trading McDavid and 1st round picks is like giving about your first born on this board

Wild fans like myself are free to post on post that continues to ignore wild fans. When you post proposals that are beyond unrealistic and unreasonable, you’re going to get criticism and not dialogue! You posted these twice

Again THIS was NOT my AGM

You just lump all Leaf fans into one pile

1) EK is a 2C on almost every contender in the NHL.
2) Brodin is good, but he’ll be 31 & has only played 1 full season in his entire career.
3) How does one overvalue a 100pt winger with elite defensive skills.
Don’t let your clear Leafs hate cloud your judgement. Minny needs to do something big, or they’ll just always be a middle of the pack team. Marner/Kaprizov duo would be electrifying for Wild fans.

Don’t care what you think! Your clouded your judgement as a leaf fan! Marner isn’t ever getting Eriksson ek and your beyond bias. Brodin is still one of the best shutdowns DMan in the NHL and has a full NMC and Bill Guerin isn’t trading either guys! Marner isn’t worth either especially eriksson ek! So no keep Marner then

You overvaluing Marner because he’s a winger who’s getting paid 11mil and is about to become a free age. Further more you overvaluing him because not in a realistic or reasonable world is he ever getting A player like Ek or Brodin lol

First of all, Canes aren’t moving Svechnikov. Second, the best offer the Canes might give would be Necas and a 1st. Who knows if Marner will be traded or not, but that NMC is going to lead to a lot of disappointment for Leafs fans if he does get traded.
