Leafs Pass. A few things you added that I disagree on
a NMC doesnt give the team trading for a player leverage, that has nothing to do with value. This isnt a player asking to be traded, so if you cant get what (as the Leafs GM) you think is fair value you just dont make the trade
Cap space is a biproduct of the trade, its not included in the trade. Nashvilles offer doesnt read. Saaros, 2 2nds and 6 million in cap space. Just about any team Toronto would be trading Marner to would give them some sort of cap relief. The great the cap relief does not = the lesser return on players.
With all that being said, Leafs decline, at least I hope they do. Saaros is not the guy
