I dont think there is a world where Marner is traded. Babs himself came out and said that mitch is a lifetime leafer.

Arizona trade and canucks trades look realistic to me!

Well if Marner can’t agree on a contract, he will be dealt. It’s as simple as that. Plus his father Paul has already stated that he wants Mitch to move to a different team because the Leafs have treated him poorly and not given him the opportunities to become the face of the franchise. Oh, and by the way, I didn’t make a trade with the Canucks. Do you mean Oilers?

I meant Pittsburgh, sorry -- I was on mobile.

If Marner is going to be dealt, I would imagine the return is higher than Parayko. I don't think Dubas et al. would want to experience a Hall for Larsson trade.

Well then you tell me. What’d you expect the return to be for Marner?

That's the thing. I don't think there is any possibility of Marner being traded under any condition. I highly doubt that he would sit the season like Nylander did if Dubas didn't get a contract deal done. I strongly believe that Marner will sign for no less than 10 mil over 6 years and doubt he will get anything more than 11.5 million over 6 to 8 years.
