Curious what markets Mitch would be OK with to leave his beloved home.
If Taylor Hall got a 2nd with an NMC and Tarasenko got a 3rd/4th with an NMC both with full retention, Marner likely secures 50 cents on the dollar.
Does Toronto do a deal even if they lose it? My guess is Marner would want a trade to a contender who can pay him an extension or he just waits to choose them.
Thinking Nashville with Saros, which should free up enough cap room to sign a top defenseman. Could do a similar structure with Boston for Ullmark, but the concept of a star level deal with those two teams seems not plausible.
