Friedman insinuated an OEL trade and marner is overpaid. I don't know how to work the details out perfectly but the basis is marner for OEL and a first. Arizona already has a good d core and lackluster forwards, Toronto has the exact opposite.

The details are wrong as this trade would make more sense 1-1 with Marner for Ekman-Larsson with secondaries being later round picks or prospects. But If I am GM of the Coyotes then I would be looking for Defensive prospect to come back my way to fill the void of Ekman-Larsson being traded away. So Sandin, Rasmus or Liljegren, Timothy for my first rounder to be included in the trade. But I am still lacking secondary scoring even with Marner being added so I would also like Nylander, William or Kapanen, Kasperi added to the deal and you can eat the rest of Stepan, Derek contract so I will also kick in 2nd or 3rd (maybe even conditionally)

So Toronto gives Marner, Sandin & Kapanen for Ekman-Larsson, Stepan, 2021 1st and 2022 3rd (conditionally 2021 2nd - Play-off conditions?)

OEL is exactly the D Toronto doesn't want. Offense first and a huge team related minus player. If they chase this player they will regret it.
