You’re basically offering Zadina/Svechnikov for Marner. No thanks, as they may not pan out while Marner has panned out to say the least. Also, if they do pan out, they’ll get paid aswell which makes this trade pointless. Not to mention but Toronto needs defenceman not wingers. Oh and you buried Gardiner while keeping Hainsey on the main squad.

I see Marner having way more potential than Zadina. He’s also an established 70 point player.

My thinking was they get the pick and go after tavaras. i should have wrote that.

No way I would give up Marner for that pick, and its not even close.

Known quantities are of greater value then unknown quantities. They can go after Tavares first and sort out the cap situation second.
