Trading Kadri

Doesn't make sense for EDM unless they trade RNH does it?

it could if they decide to put him on the wing. It would also allow them flexibility to put RNH with McDavid and Draisaitl in situations where they are trailing in games.

I think the trade is okay, but that Marner contract needs to get jacked up significantly, or the term reduced drastically.

Everytime... Marner is not getting more than 10.5. ever. EVER. Can't wait till his fricken contract is signed so we can stop seeing stuff like this.

sure. and I read leafs fans saying, ohhh, Matthews won't get much more than the Eichel deal. That's the best comparison. He won't get close to McDavid money. 8 years and 10.5. Then he gets 11.634 for 5 years, which, in reality, is far more than McDavid money seeing how it only buys out one UFA year. And then you have Marner, who doesn't miss games, has outproduced Matthews, and pretty frequently looks like the leafs best player. Why is he going to take so much less than Matthews? Out of the goodness of his heart? Keep in mind that the reported price for Matthews for an 8 year deal was 13.8. I agree that he'll take slightly less than Matthews, but if it's going to be 10.5 million, it will be 5 years. Here is how I see the options shaking out, at least from the Marner camp perspective.
1 year: 8 million
2 years: 8.5
3 years: 9
5 years: 10.5
6 years: 11
7 years: 11.5
8 years: 12
