Detroit passes. Järnkrok is 32 before the season starts and Liljegren is a 3rd pair dman at this point. It's just not worth a mid 1st rd pick. Take out Järnkrok switch the 1st to a 3rd and Detroit probably says ok.

Avs decline. They don't have space to take on any of Toronto's big guns.

Pens would never take that, i think they rebuild. Tavares will not wave his NMC. Columbus says no because Johnson looks good. Detroit wouldn't even consider Jarnkrok and Liljegren for a 1st. Don't want DeBrincat for that price and with the way Brodie has played he's worth a fourth or late 3rd round pick at the most. None of these would ever happen.

I can guarantee you Detroit doesn't do that even if Yzerman is held hostage.

I think the only team that would accept the proposed trades (other than Toronto) would be Ottawa.

Not to mention; they're both centers. Great 3C combo; everywhere else is cruddy.

Ottawa would probably take that, but I don’t think Toronto would be able to get those picks in the first place

Wings pass and it's not even remotely close. Thankfully Yzerman can see through the rose colored glasses leafs nation puts out and sees the true value of the players

Why would the Wings give up a first for a couple of middle of the lineup players. This doesn't address any needs for them really

Pens decline. You'd be looking at something around Guentzel, 14th ovr, and other pieces.

Detroit isn't paying a first for an aging winger and a bottom pairing D. They'd rather make both those picks than trade for that package.

You'd think there was some kind of rumor out there to support all these Marner to Columbus proposals. Sorry, but the Jackets need centers, not wingers. They'll do just fine with drafting Fantilli or Carlsson and keeping KJ.

CBJ decline. Not giving up 3OA and Kent Johnson, 2 potential solutions to the first-line center problem we've had since joining the league, for 2 years of Marner.

Pens would accept of you added salary (2 of: Granlund, Rutta, Petry) and removed Petterson or Pickering.
