I know this sounds crazy but i would be on board for this. I wouldn't want to sign Ferland though, keep Hyman and save yourself $2 mil per year. Try to do the Calgary deal with someone else. You're going to need all the money you can get to sign Hall to an extension. Defense is much much better and the team is more complete. I do love Marner though but this or an offer sheet are the only ways I would want to see him go. You basically kill three birds with one stone:
1) Find a scoring equivalent to replace Marner's production - Check
2) Upgrade the Blue Line - Check
3) Rid yourself of Zaitsev's contract - Check
Question is, would NJ want to make the trade?
