Without touching on trade values, I think it's a massive tactical error to not deploy Marner alongside Draisaitl. Marner is literally the embodiment of what Draisaitl needs in order to thrive: speed, elite playmaking, and two-way ability. Holloway-Drai-Marner would be a very effective trio and would allow the team to keep the brilliant trio of RNH-McDavid-Hyman together. That aside, you're overpaying a number of players (Holloway, Desharnais, and even Broberg to an extent) while underpaying Henrique- even with the 3rd year of term.
