God no.

Minnesota doesn’t trade Faber or JEE for Marner straight up let alone for everything here. And no, it has nothing to do with *value*.

JEE is the Wild's best center, which is a significantly bigger need for Minnesota than a playmaking winger. Even one as good as Marner. He's also on a steal of a contract while arguably the best shutdown center in the league now that Bergeron is retired.

Furthermore, retaining on Marner means absolutely nothing to the Wild. Great, he costs $5M for a season and a half. But he's going to once again cost $10M+ again after that. Meanwhile JEE costs $5.25M for the next SIX YEARS.

I know which one I'd rather have. And it's not the pricey winger.

Faber is already a top pairing defenseman at 21 years old. And is only going to get better with experience and age over the next decade. His value is probably close to or around the same as Luke Hughes right now.

He's not available nor would they ever consider moving him for this scenario.
