Any Marner trade proposal involving Vince Dunn going the other way is a non-starter. He's their best defenseman and a key part of their roster for both the present and future. Dunn's importance to the team was demonstrated last season when their performance cratered following his injury. The Kraken need scoring, but there are many ways they can boost that without sacrificing one of their team cornerstones.
As for the whole Marner-to-Seattle idea, I think the Kraken will at least do their due diligence and kick the tires on a deal, but the only way I see a trade being made is if it's for another forward with draft capital to balance out the talent discrepancy.
