If for some reason this happened it would probably be a straight up swap. Don't think BOS would add more then McAvoy. Maybe a bit more b/c TOR is eating cash.

There's not one reason boston would even do this 1 for 1. Mcavoy is more important to their team. They already have a good forward group.

No. Not making TOR's mistake and defense wins championship

Leafs reject. however it is very tempting

to say "not 1 reason to do this 1 for 1" is definitely a boost, i can understand not wanting to do it but to act like marner wouldnt benefit the bruins is kinda dumb, theres a massive drop in production from the first line to the 2nd and so on. it may be hard to process but the bruins arent a perfect team although they are in first, value is definitely there in a 1 for 1 trade, ignorant if you think otherwise

The issue isn’t now but when their aging vets decline, they’ll be cap strapped with no room or money to improve at the spots they need.

Bostons defense sucks without McAvoy. not worth it.

#1 D > top 6 winger. The bruins aren't a better team with Marner if they don't have a competent top pairing.

Marner is not a top 6 winger lmao, he’s the number 1 right winger on most teams in the nhl, ppg player who plays pp and pk

Interesting idea,
unfortunately, thats a bad trade value wise and trade wise.
Mcavoy for Marner 1 for 1 would be fair valuewise, but still wouldnt do it,

In saying that, the rest of this is very very good! The only thing would be, dont trade Griz, and Krug will take a little less money

If leafs reject they are morons

All of this is important!
Marner is an eilte winger, definitely not only top 6 (coming from a bruins fan), in saying that, he carrys a massive cap even for how good he is.
Bruins need top 6 wingers (especially a RW), in saying that they dont need Marner (or that type of player), nor are they gonna weaken their defense to do it.
bruins arent a perfect team, this is true, but trading away a future Norris competitor (and thats what McAvoy is looking like right now) for just another good RW isnt gonna cut it, even 1 for 1
and yeah, the cap: leafs suck with the cap, bruins dont. Bruins arent taking on that huge deal overall.

Bruins reject based on value and needs. Perhaps if much more money was retained and the leafs throw in a good defenseman it would be considered, but even then i dont think that would help either team

marner is definitely elite , but he is overpaid by a million and his defensive game has declined the last few years.

Mcavoy is one of the best defenders in the league , he's probably going to win a Norris someday.
