Quoting: RipNasty
Come on man, use some sense. Anyone saying, it's only 1 year is purposely limiting this discussion to lower his value. Beyond that, rentals go for crazy overpays every year. Every year fans will say any FA they have is worth a first plus. But Marner? He has no value, TO will have to take back horrible cap dumps to make it fair. Essentially making Marner himself a cap dump.
This is disappointing, I have always held you in high regard but your Marner takes recently are purely mob thought, self justification bs talking points.
If Panarin had 1 year left and was traded, he would get five times the value Marner gets. Why is that? How do people think Crosby would have exponentially higher value than Marner? To think all teams would bend TO over a barrel because they are somehow without a choice on keeping or trading Marner is absolutely delusional. If Rantanen was in the block with 1 year left, would people say the same thing? Absolutely not, they would be offering insane packages with the caveat of "an extension would come with the trade". But not Marner. He is a 1 year rental that is a cap dump for some reason.
I think that you're reading a lot more into people's comments and mine that isn't there.
I've been consistent in saying (repeatedly) that I don't think most Marner trades are realistic not because his value is low but because it is
too high and most teams won't want to give up what he is worth, based precisely on what other "rentals" go for both in the off-season and at the trade deadline, so I'm actually in complete agreement with you there. And you ignored (twice) the point I made that my demurrer to this particular deal is based solely on term. You can add all the value from the Islander side that you want and NY isn't going to do it. Look at what Bo Horvat and Jake Guentzel got and tell me that some GM is going to pay what Toronto asks and deserves for a much better player. If Adam Henrique is worth one first-round draft pick, what GM is going to pay 4 or 5 for Marner?
Once again, I repeat: teams will decline Marner trades not because he's bad but because he's
too good and therefore will cost too much for the one season that they might have him. And it's pointless to posit an extension included because we don't have any way of knowing whether Marner would accept it or the team could afford it.
