Trades

PIT

Marner, Mitchell

Additional Details:

Toronto gets maybe a capable goalie and a defender to help solidify their defense further whos also a big body like they've liked to add lately to be playoff built. They lose Marner who fans, media, and teammates complain about due to playoff performance especially. Toronto akso gets good prospects and goalie prospect.

TOR

Graves, Ryan
Jarry, Tristan
Lindberg, Filip [Reserve List]
Yager, Brayden [Reserve List]
2024 2nd round pick (PHI)
2024 2nd round pick (PIT)
2026 2nd round pick (PIT)

Additional Details:

Toronto gets a solid defensive defenseman. He might not have had his best year defensively with the penguins but that's just defense sometimes especially with different coaching styles. Jarry has been inconsistently good maybe a change of scenery will be good for him.

No, we do not need to acquire a Marner's contract at the cost of downgrading our goaltending and defense. And I imagine Leafs fans want more.
Seeler just signed that contract, and it has an NTC. MAF also has a NMC and doesn't want to move his family.

Ned was playing about the same and better when it mattered at the end of the season so not a downgrade when hes made to be number one and Fleury is a future hall of famer who makes great key saves even if he's having a bad statistical game cause he's just a franchise superstar goalie like that.
NMC and NTC doesnt mean someone can't be traded just that they have to accept where they're going and it's not even public information as to who's on their listsbor who they'd verbally agree to go to. Fleury im sure would love to come back to Pittsburgh too. Personally i think the marner contract could be worth it and it could give us a bit of hope once our other future hall of famers retire in a few years from now

When your plan to go from playoff miss to contender is to trade for Marner and rely on 40 year old MAF lol.

Actually, Fleury is shown as the back up. Ned is shown to be relied upon and he carried the Penguins a bit at the end of the season.
