Not sure what the price on Marino is, but with Hamilton and Nemec on the defense in NJ, I think that they should at least be open to moving him. They essentially get (I think) 2 2nds and a 3rd for him - they can move up into the first round with this package if they want to

I agree that Marino's value is tough to gauge but I think your value is in range.
My issue with the Marino moves is that NJ shouldn't be looking at more futures/prospects.
Hughes and Nemec should be protected by acquiring guys that can play ~20 minutes per night so that the pressure is taken off of LH and SN from having to carry that burden at 19 and 20 years old.

Trading Marino for a future second and future third just to acquire Struble and shove Bahl to his off-side doesn't make much sense to me. As @DevilsFanInTX says, it makes much more sense to keep the veteran RhD in case of injury, as NJ has seen this season. I think that Hughes - Hamilton, Siegenthaler - Nemec, Bahl - Marino is likely to be a much better defense than what you have here.

I hate that I’ve discounted any player in Montreal who didn’t have a good pedigree because the team is so bad. Every time I see a trade for a 3rd round pick, I ask myself why would I want anyone. I know it’s wrong, but that’s my first thought
