what could Fitzy get for John Marino in the offseason

Description
Marino is alright overall but I guess I'm getting similar fatigue from him as Pens fans got around 2 years ago. Dude's slumping kinda hard and disappearing for long-stretches. Better than keeping him around for the duration of his contract is to consider moving him this offseason before his trade value takes too big a hit.

Fitzy should be able to get a fair bit better of a return than Hextall got for Marino - Ty Smith + 3rd.
If the GMs around the league still consider Marino a 2nd pair RHD in the offseason he should probably be able to go for a pick in the 15 - 25 range, so that's around where I'd value him.
Then there's the hockey trade route, to trade Marino to some team in need of a mid 20s RHD with term but have other excesses of interest to the Devils.

I wouldn't be interested in the Devils getting another RHD back however as I believe Seamus Casey has developed more than enough to crush 3rd pairing minutes with the Devils from 24-25 and onward. RHD corps moving forward being Hamilton - Nemec - Casey

Anyway, here are some half--baked Marino trades for y'all to enjoy :) <3

    John Marino.

    I see a fit here. RHD seems to be a weakness for this Buffalo team that kinda has to start competing for the playoffs given the talent on their roster. Sabres seem to have an excess of forward prospects in their pipeline and not enough roster spots to go around.

    ...or how about Mittelstadt? If the Sabres wanted to bring in more prospects into their forward corps and go even younger, Mittelstadt could be a sensible asset to move for help elsewhere on the roster.

        Big fan of this guy. Would the Blues make Hofer available and double down on Binnington long-term?

          John Marino.

          I could see Blues being desperate to make a move to solidify their terribly weak RHD corps. Would Armstrong give Hofer up to make this move?

            Pick in the 12-16 range?
            ARI
              John Marino (and maybe a mid rd pick or smthn).

              How about dealing a not so early 1st rd pick for an RHD with term? Yotes have 0D signed beyond this season and are looking to compete sooner rather than later (similar to the Sabres). Would falling just short of the playoffs prompt the other Armstrong to move picks for players with term?

              Hofer is real good. But maybe Blues would add something here if Armstrong were pursuing this.

              What even is Marino. Is he a real 2nd pair Dman or is he more of a bottom 4D .

              I can't see anyone giving up a 1st for him, especially if trading is based off of trying to get rid of him rather than multiple interested parties actively pursuing him

              Hofer is presumably not available. And the Blues two best Dmen are RDs, including the one who's far and away the best Blues Dman. They want to revamp the left side, and presumably not with any more small Dmen (though Marino is about as good defensively as a small Dman gets).

              How about you send him to Edmonton on bargain for another LW? Make up for the whole Hall-for-Larsson thing eh?

              The Blues RHD isn't terribly weak, their LHD is.

              Wait a year…Casey could need some AHL time. If he is ready right away, great.

              But if we did sell Marino…Mittelstadt would be the interesting name there to me.

              Marino cooking competition in an easier role next year to get his value back up then sell to bring Casey in

              Is his value down? He started year with a couple of bad games…but has otherwise been as expected for most part.
