Switch the 2nd in the Murray trade to Vegas's 3rd and ok. It's going to take a higher pick to get Seattle to take Neilson. Currently Hronek is our best defenseman and our only real 2 way defenseman and Rasmussen is a promising young center so Detroit is trading away 2 of the most sought after positions for another winger which is Detroit's deepest position. Now Marner is a great player better than the players Detroit is losing but I doubt I'd give up Hronek to get him. Toronto went and signed their forwards for top dollar and have had to let other players go and missed out on some free agents because they can't afford to pay them. If the season played out would they have made the playoffs? If Marner was a center maybe I'd give up Hronek but I think Detroit needs to take a step back and make sure they aren't making the same mistakes Toronto has made and why they are offering Marner at such a low price.
