Capitals probably say no without the draft picks being involved. I think they would take Tom Wilson and J.Vrana over Manrer. Both are still young, just hitting their prime.
Probably not in scoring, but overall value to a team
marner no punch
wilson go punch
wilson better
in all seriousness though, 3 things can be true at the same time. 1. I'd absolutely LOVE to have Tom Wilson on my team. 2. Vrana is a hell of a player, and 3. marner has more points since joining the league than both of them combined
I would loooove Wilson on Toronto, but the aspect he brings is pretty fulfilled by our other signings so there’s no need to lose an elite talent to get him

lol, you're not wrong. pretty much the logic of Wilson > Marner is that Wilson at 5 mill and Marner at 10 mill, you are getting what you pay for scoring wise with Wilson with the added bonus that he is an absolute beast (who occasionally gets suspended lmfao), and based off of that I think value wise to any team he is more valuable. no doubt marner is like 1000 times better at scoring but is scoring 100 points every season worth 5 mill more than 60pts while bringing a physical presence? idk only time will tell
