Thread: I have a trade to announce
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AlliDOisBleedBlue</b></div><div>I will never understand Toronto fans, every single armchair gm for Toronto is trying to move Marner out and not one armchair gm is trying to move Parayko from Blues fans. Yall can keep your ten million dollar cancer clearly you don’t want him.</div></div>

We just want change. I think the Leafs are finally seeing what every other team has said, you can't win with 45 million tied up between 4 people.
It's not that Marner is a cancer, he's a point per game guy, who loves to have fun and score big goals. Sure his playoff numbers aren't great, but he is still a top 10 winger in the league.
He holds more value or JT which is why he is the scapegoat here. Matthews wont be moved and Nyalnder just signed an extension.

Thread: My take on Marner
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>iAce</b></div><div>Honestly, I don't even want Marner on my team. I don't want to pay and the Wild can't afford it. Sure we could afford it and then be in cap hell even longer. I would be more open to the Wild retaining on some huge deal that lands Toronto more value on a Marner deal. Maybe we swing Rossi for Knies and we retain 50% of the contract. This giving Toronto a massive return on Marner and we get our guy. I could see a future contender paying for Marner and having a year to work the cap space to re-sign him. But a straight trade to the Wild is not something I love. Boldy plays a similar style to Marner and he's younger and cheaper so I'll stick with him. Let me know what Leaf fans think of that. Maybe you get a Western Conference team to pay up what you want and you guys walk away from the $11 mill contract. Rossi would allow you to trade JT and get massive cap flexibility to re-sign Bertuzzi/Domi and a better d-core to help push you over the top.</div></div>

Understand your reasoning here however the problem is JT value is significantly lower than Marners. The idea of trading Marner comes from the value he would bring back. JT is 35 and closer to the door while Marner is 27 and still in his prime. The idea of Rossi isn't a bad one either but not if i comes with moving Knies
