Description

So, here's the skinny. LoganOllivier and I have had some debate on the possibility of Marner being traded if his contract demands become unreasonable.

We seem to have landed on agreeing that no 1 player is irreplaceable, with the recognition that neither of us want to lose Marner.

For the record, Logan appears to be pretty adamant that the Leafs lose any trade that includes Marner, while I hold to the belief that no one player equals team success, regardless of how good any one player might be. I submit McJesus as evidence to that claim..

So, this Agm kinda acts as an open invitation to anyone who wants to throw in their 2 cents on what trades might be out there that the leafs would consider if Marner refuses to budge from AM money, and he forces the Leafs hand.

*Note - I'm sure there will be no shortage of takers for Mitch given how many posters seem to agree that Marner = 12M!

A nod goes out to DirtyDangles for sparking this idea with a trade that he suggested for Marner that I've posted below as an example to hopefully get some dialogue going..

*Note of caution... this AGM is being posted with the full realization that CapFriendly is just a game, and that it holds no bearing on what will shake out in the real world.

Hope to see some reasonable trade examples and reasoned debate and discussion. Thanks.

Also... the best trade example gets 2 pieces of bubblegum. 1 from me and 1 from Logan...

Flames would never do that... even 1 on 1, it's pretty even in value
but gaudreau gets 6.75m and marner north of 10?

Maybe CGY doesn't a 1 for 1 swap, but they definitely don't add a pick.pretty comparable players. Marner is younger, But I'd still give Gaudreau the edge, and he's making like 4 million less per season.

Hmm.. that's a good question.. Maybe Marner isn't worth north of 10? Let alone AM money..

I personally don't see a trade happening. How would one be willing to offer TO something that would make sense for them back and why would a team offer such good "right now" assets for a Marner....kind of lateral so it defeats the purpose.

I think an offer sheet is the best option where a team going all in, only loses draft picks (4 firsts) rather than a team like Cgy losing Gaudreau to get Marner....I mean that is arguably not an upgrade but a lateral move in which CGY now has to pay more money for a player who is just as good as Gaudreau is..... I don't see a scenario where a team offers the Leafs the value they want. Four 1sts seems to be the pinnacle of value for a player but it will depend on whether Marner lets it get that far.....

I truly think Marner will milk this situation as long as he can, while he can, but eventually will just accept that true "best offer" Dubas can offer him because he knows TO literally can't do any better. As long as Dubas gets to that true offer eventually, Marner will sign it. I believe that is around 9.5-9.75M. I think if Dubas pushes too much to get it under 8.5 approx, Marner than may start to consider offer sheets because I think in all fairness, that is a low ball offer and Dubas knows it.
