Need the Leafs to lose this series - I think if the Leafs lose this series, they will certainly be looking to shop Marner (and/or JT, which as a Caps fan, I have no interest in).

Toronto almost has to get rid of one or else they will need ELC contracts for more than half of their roster. Tavares seems untradeable and Marner just makes the most sense. Really hope GMBM finally gets really aggressive and pays whatever it takes

i'll agree that the Leafs need more ELCs. They only two on the roster. June 2025, the Leafs have no picks in the first four rounds. So the Leafs will be win mode next season. But the four NMCs for their top forwards so highly unlikely any get traded. If the Leafs had really wanted to make a "cap change" in 24/25 they wouldn't have extended Nylander to his new 11.5m X 8 contract
Instead of ELCs, due to so many picks being traded away at TDL, the Leafs have depended on cheap UFA signings, which isn't the best way to do things.
In 25/26, Tavares will likely be gone, as maybe Marner....which will free up cap. Leafs hope to four have ELCs....Cowan, Minten, Grebykin and Webber on the NHL roster. But guys like Knies, Woll, Holmberg and maybe a few more will be needing raises.
