Description

Let's say the Leafs don't win the cup, highly unlikely, but technically possible. Lol
I'm sure Nylander would be the guy most people would think would be traded first, but what if he didn't return what you want or need to get the cup.
Matthews - might as well sell the team if you trade him.
Tavares - some might take him but his AAV and age work against him, so he isn't for everyone.
Marner - AAV still a problem but at his age is he worth it? ABSOLUTELY! Every team in the league could use a Marner.
So then what is the return on a guy like Marner?

Additional Details:

Let's assume this becomes the 1st overall pick and it's the offseason. The Sharks have successfully tanked.
What else needs to be added, would it ever be possible?

San Jose is just entering their rebuild. They need to acquire 18 and 19 year olds, not trade them away for guys in their prime.

You need to find teams just exiting their rebuild that are on the cusp of being a Stanley Cup contender and the need for a top line winger. Colorado comes to mind.

Try making a San Jose and how they can handle Marner's contract. They can't. Most teams would prefer to keep their 5 pick and have 10 in cap space to spend on a UFA

I mean I guess if you are looking at the cheap years that a ELC provides then I get your argument, but based on talent I think he is better than anyone you will get out of this class.

I can’t ever take your comments seriously lmao

like the one about Bernier, and now this.

I honestly can’t tell whether you’re joking or not.
