Description
Marner's contract is structured in a way that they payed him:
16m in year one
14.3m signing bonus for year 2 (and 700'000 actual salary)

For the final 4 years of his deal, the annual costs are actually 8.5895m per year on average.

So due to Covid, there might be teams that would consider making that deal, as they don't want to spend up to the cap anyways.

What they got in picks could either be used to draft young, cheap talent, or to aquire team needs. like Kerfoot and picks for a solid D

Also, the Devils pick should be top 10 protected

Is Marners Salary paid already for 20-21 as a signing bonus. If so, your idea might work for team like florida. Marner for Huberdeau, less cap hit for Toronto and no salary cost with a big cap hit for florida.

Most likely not, bonuses are paid at the start of the league year and they modified this league year as part of the CBA extension and return to play program. Bonuses will likely be paid on the 1st day of free agency.

Not sure about the exact time due to covid and the season not being done yet. but it is 14.3m bonus that is usually payed in summer, then only a salary of 700'000 for the year.

The same with Freddie Andersen. 4m bonus, 1 million salary.

This is what the Leafs use to do because they can while others can't. Montreal tried this appraoch to sign Aho, with a lot of money up front, which is not possible for many teams.

Would you make that deal if you were New Jersey? I mean in the next two Covid years, they would pay Marner as much as they pay Subban.

or the one with Florida as one of you said?

Unless there's pressure from ownership to shed actual money being paid, I wouldn't. NJ just needs to keep being patient and build through the draft, so trading those picks hurts more than bringing in a player like Marner helps. They already made a mistake bringing in Subban for a pair of 2nd round picks when they really had no business trading picks for any players just yet in their rebuild.

Probably worth mentioning I also completely hate Marner's contract, since it pays him top dollar and walks him right up to UFA status.
