Get out of here

If the Leaf's for some reason decided to move on from Marner and he waived his no trade clause they would be doing it for the cap space so there would be 0% chance they would retain salary
Quoting: Herb_Brooks
no retention and buffalos pick this year for the leafs to consider
Quoting: CoryTheGreat
Leafs aren’t doing that even without retention lol not even close like at all
Quoting: AntiAnalytics
It’s only for 1 year though
If it gets the Leafs a better return for Marner- and it definitely should- then they should do it
However, the last thing the Leafs should do is trade Marner
SERIOUS QUESTION FOR OP - DO YOU THINK THIS IS FAIR FOR BUFFALO?
Toronto Receives:
Tage Thompson ($1,400,000 retained) *** Same $9,300,000 retention as Marner, but spread out over 7 years.
2026 3rd round pick (BUF)
2024 7th round pick (BUF)
Buffalo Receives:
Nick Robertson *** Near identical PPG and GPG as Quinn over last 2 seasons. Both are 22 year old wingers.
Fraser Minten *** Drafted 1 spot earlier than Wahlberg in 2022. Both play center. Canada's captain at WJC.
2026 1st round pick (TOR)
*** M. Marner =
1.30 points per game over last 3 seasons.
*** Thompson =
1.00 points per game over last 3 seasons.
*** Thompson and Marner are both both 26 years old.
*** Thompson's bigger, but Marner's a Selke finalist.
Are you trading Thompson for that?
