i dont see why the hurricanes would move 2 good players on great contracts for one good player who wont be on a good contract. not only that but a first coming back? carolina laughs and says have fun with marner maybe playing in december

Oh we all know this buts it's fun to just imagine if Marner was actually worth the God status the media has said he is

The most unrealistic part of this is Aho and Teuvo not being together.

I mean you are just going too high in return value for a team that wants to contend. This would help Toronto more than it would help carolina. there are deals like this one that could be made but i think you picked the wrong team in terms of return.

Pesce and a 1st or Teuvo and 1st or Pesce and Teuvo... but not these 3 parts...

That suggests that Teuvo can be had for a low first.... SOLD.

And therein lies the rub... Marner's perception, his camp's perception, and the media's perception of what is value is doesn't match reality. This is a whole lot to do about nothing, and when rhetoric and narrative smack into the brick wall of reality a reorganization occurs. I'd say the leafs have the leverage in this negoiation at this point..
