Opening Night-CBJ Blockbuster

Team: 2020-21 Toronto Maple Leafs

Initial Creation Date: Mar. 13, 2020

Published: Apr. 5, 2020

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Who is saying no? I could be totally out to lunch, but think this trade holds merit for both sides.
A premier RHD like Seth Jones is the hottest commodity in hockey, CBJ also was known to go after Marner for an offer sheet. I know cap will be tight for both teams but it's just around even.
Probably best if I break it down piece for piece.
Jones >Marner
Premier RHD are the hottest commodity in the NHL. Though Marner is an elite forward, he holds more than double the cap hit than Jones, and is not a centreman. I attempted to make up for this mismatch in value with the other pieces in the deal. CBJ already has a pretty deep D-core with Werenski, Savard, Gavrikov and Nutivaara and I wonder if they would consider to part with Jones (who's a UFA in 2 years) . Just imagine Marner on the top line with PLD.

Jenner<Kerfoot
Kerfoot definitely holds more value than Jenner and will provide more stability for CBJ's middle. I think Jenner could still be used as a 3C and he provides some size and grit in TML's lineup.
Bjorkstrand= Liljegren
Think this is kind of a wash. TML benefits short-term, CBJ maybe long-term. Bjorkstrand would be brought in to replace some of Marner's offense and is on a great dollar value. Liljegren is a still great young RHD prospect, and can help re-stock CBJ depleted prospect/pick pool.
Nash<Bracco
Nash was thrown in to make the cap closer to even. Pretty high cap for a 4C, but can still skate and be a PK guy. Bracco is an added sweetener for CBJ.
