Blockbuster With Pittsburgh

Created by: AnalyticsGeek
Team: 2020-21 Toronto Maple Leafs
Initial Creation Date: Sep. 3, 2020
Published: Sep. 3, 2020
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
It was reported by Frank Seravelli that the Penguins Te shopping both Matt Murray and Jared McCann in the same trade. Leafs writer Kevin Papetti thinks that Kyle Dubas should be in on both players, since he managed them while he was with the Greyhounds. Since the Leafs don’t have the cap space to acquire both, it got me thinking of a blockbuster trade.

Only way Pens can afford Marner is if Horny is going the other way, I just don't see it

So basically, it's McCann & Murray for Marner, Rust for the salary retention, 15th OA & Dermott.

I will be showing this trade on the Pens side in a second. I feel Nashville would take Hornqvist, they need a top 6 RW & their GM recently stated they want a hardworking player.

Okay but even though I dislike the Leafs a consistent 90pt guy is still worth more than a mediocre starting goalie and a 3rd liner

Murray has 2 cups to his name as starting goalie. Both in which he posted above 92 sv%. 1 or 2 bad seasons don't make him medicore. McCann is someone who I really like. Good speed, forechecks & has a nasty release. He's a top 6 player in my opinion but I put him with Kerfoot & Hyman cuz I wanted to form a shutdown line.

He also has less playoff wins over the last 2 seasons than Michael Hutchinson. And McCann isn’t a top 6 player barring injuries, he’s just a solid 3rd liner. You can get much much more if you’re putting Marner on the block.

Flames hang up. Makes no sense to trade Bennett+1st round pick for a rental that has the same GAA and SV% as Rittich, especially with Talbot wanting to re-sign in Calgary at a lower cap hit than Andersen.

Can't evaluate goalies based on wins, the team hasn't played well in front of him these past 3 playoffs. I doubt you can fetch more for Marner. What most GMs see is an expensive soft winger who underperformed.

There are just so many impractical (and I'm being kind) in these scenarios
Johnson, Bjustad, can't be picked up waivers just because you want to fit them in the Pittsburg cap. Hornqvuist has a NTC, and even at that Preds may not want him. So Pens do not have the cap for Marner
That's just a bad trade for the Leafs with the Pens
Calgary isn't giving up a first for a year of Anderson
If Steverson is so much better than Holl, Devils don't do the deal.

Murray is not going to Toronto. The Leafs and Pen discussed Murray when the Kappen deal was being done and it was a no go

Any Marner trade includes a good top 4 RHD with term coming back or else it's not worth it.

Thanks for the feedback. I agree, there are a lot of unrealistic scenarios here. But what do you think of the outlook of the team? Are they a contender?

It is extremely unlikely that the Leafs' trade Marner. In the extremely unlikely case that they do a #1RHD is coming back - someone like Ekblad.

Hard and easy no to that Marner trade.

I have zero interest in Murray, dude is becoming injury prone and he had bad year while losing his starting job to Jarry.

To answer your question, no they are not a contender, not with that goaltending.


Let someone else take a chance with Murray.

There is no elaboration needed, every Marner trade you post is absolute garbage. By design, I doubt anyone on this site takes any of your posts seriously.

Murray needs a change of location. I think part of the reason he's struggled is because the pens may not be as good as people think they are. I am not sure their defence is all that good anymore. Jarry struggled in the second half of the season while Murray came on. I'd take Murray although I know I am bias, I am close friends with many of his family.
