Why in the world would the non-playoff-in-2025 Anaheim Ducks want one season of Mitch Marner?

Neither Anaheim or Ottawa make those trades.

Anaheim is re-building, there's no point in adding a huge contract on someone who is outside their planned contention window.

Ottawa isn't going to take on spare parts for their best D, even with a 1st round pick.

Kampf is a cap dump and Jarnkrok is worth that 3rd at most. so you want Chychrun and a 4th for less than a late 1st rounder of value?

Marner has a full NMC, he goes where he wants, and if he only wants one place, like Kane did with the Rangers, you'll be disappointed in the return, like the Hawks were.

Not to mention Marner is going to cost UFA money anyway, so why wouldn't we just shoot our shot in free agency and keep Trevor and the first?

Not saying Marners not worth that return, but TML have zero leverage in the matter.

Sens decline. Two bottom 6 players and a late 20's pick in a mediocre draft lol. Add Minten and we'll think about it.

I'm not a Chychrun guy but that trade is larceny. 🙄

The Marner trade is pure fiction.

Marner isn't waiving his NMC and the Ducks aren't trading Zegras.

Chychrun would need more but I think that goes without saying. If none of the pieces you’re giving up hurt even a little bit then it’s probably not worth a proposal.

Marner will cost like $14,000,000 million to resign if he even waived

Anaheim passes

Marner NTC says no

The asking for picks back from ottawa is probably the funniest part

They should trade zegras

I don't see any team matching what Anaheim would want for Zegras.
