Eichel is injured

I'm down to move marner for more cap flexibility but trading him for the decaying husk of jack eichel is something I don't quite understand

I would be extremely hesitant until he gets his injury stuff sorted out

also, the whole point of moving marner is to NOT have cap concentration, eichel is a lateral move lol

if hes better how has he not lead buffalo to the playoffs?

If one guy is better than 2 than Buffalo should have easily been there

That doesn't get Eichel slick, Tampa can't afford to do Ristolainen for Johnson even if it is $5,000,000 each Johnson wont even waive for Buffalo. And Columbus is probably heading for a tear down here shortly. So doubtful Reinhart wants any part of that team.

I think he got better and is meeting with the Sabers to discuss his future but honestly it looks like

Ristolinen, Rhiendhart and Eichel could be gone

could be an opportunity for Dubas to shake the core

Look at the trade air head. marner is no where to be found

Matthews + Nylander for Eichel + Rheindhart

core for core

could happen who knows anymore

True but no interest in Dumba

I was commenting on the fact you were talking about marner as compared to eichel

it makes zero sense to discuss the two in the same conversation because it wouldn't fit the leafs needs at all

Hockey is a team sport. This isn’t basketball, one player can’t carry a team to the playoffs. Marner is on a super team and was a complete GHOST vs a below average habs team

Nobody wants marner and that overpaid contract. Good luck trying to get rid of that

people would still take him. gaudreau is a ghost in the playoffs yet he is always in trade talks

teams are dumb enough to bank on a regular season super star in the hopes he performs in the playoffs for them

Guadreau makes less than 7 mil and has 1 years left dude terrible comparison

a top 5 scorer in the league that plays above average defence... I'm sure tons of teams would have interest if he was available.

& before you come back with "oh he plays with Matthews so of course he scores points but doesn't do anything in playoffs".. well Eichel played with Hall and couldn't do anything and Eichel can't even make playoffs. So yeah, I think Marner will have a ton of suitors if he's available. Although I really think he won't be moved anytime soon. I don't think he's the guy to go

marner makes 7.25M for the last 4 years of his deal after the leafs pay the signing bonus this summer

cap hit is 10.8 but teams won't care, actual cash isn't as bad and he's an outstanding regular season player

teams would 100% take him lol

You don't think Eichel can best 4 points and 0 goals in 7 games against a mediocre Habs team if he played on the top line next to Matthews? Come on man

Tampa Bay declines they need to loose salary not swap it around

No one with any type NTC waives (puts on list of acceptable teams ) the dumpster fire that is the Buffalio Sabres
