1. Only way Marner gets traded is in a 1for1 trade for a good young RD, think Seth Jones (CBJ probably don't do that)
2. Kaapo's value isn't all that high rn. The only thing he has going for him is draft pedigree.
3. You can't honestly think trading marner for
- Howden: a centre who has a career high of 9 goals (would be a fourth liner behind Matthews, Tavares, Kerfoot)
- Kakko: a winger who will probably be good one day but he also might not be (23 points in 66 games)
- and a second round pick
is a fair value. Marner hit 90 points last year, and if he played 82 games this year he was gonna do it again. It doesn't matter if they leafs are trying to clear cap space for Pietrangelo, it would make zero sense for Dubas to do the Rangers a favour like this.
