I agree with OP's idea that Marner is worth way more than Alexeyev. Disagree that he's worth McMichael or Wilson, at his current cap hit, vs theirs. But I'm a Caps fan. What can I say?
Under a flat cap, a realistic WSH offer might be Kuznetsov, Alexeyev, and Hagelin for Marner and Engvall. An 80 pt center who's good in the playoffs is worth more than a 90 pt wing who isn't, but the age difference is worth an NHL-ready LHD prospect. Hagelin's better on PK than Engvall, which helps Tor. Engvall is better at playing center, which gives WSH insurance if McMichael stumbles. Caps still need to try to add a center over the offseason, with I don't know what cap space, but overall, I think Kuznetsov and Marner could grow after a change of scenery, and Marner is more valuable.
Would Tavares play 3C or 1L?
