<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>leaffanio</b></div><div>what makes you think marner wouldn't wanna re-sign in chicago? it's a popular destination that just got even more desirable with bedard. marner is still so young and has probably just under a decade left at the top level, if you're not competing within that window then you've got massive issues</div></div>

What makes you think the hawks are going to gamble on the POSSIBILITY that Marner wants to re-sign versus hanging on to Jones and 3 1st round picks and not having to take on a cap dump?

Further, they have to pay big money to both Bedard and Korchinski within a year of Marner wanting something stupid in terms of cap hits...we don't want the problem the Leafs are in.

Terrible asset management to take that gamble

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>leaffanio</b></div><div>ur not hitting on anything even cloooooose to marner with those late 1sts from toronto and tampa get real. make the chicago one top-10 protected or whatever and you'd have to be stupid to turn down this deal</div></div>

LMAO so Chicago should pick up a 2 year rental with Marner when they aren't competing for 3+ years while giving up valuable draft capital and a 1st line defender....really sound logic you've got going for you.

Seth Jones is more valuable leading our blue line for the young kids long-term then Marner is short term hands down. Even if we flipped Marner at the TDL, despite having to contest with his MMC, we aren't getting (3) late 1st round picks...ZERO chance , not to mention having to take on a cap dump and giving up a 1st line defenseman (overpaid or not) in the process.

This is a hands down bad idea for a rebuilding team "you'd have to be stupid" to do this as the Hawks.

While I appreciate your standpoint on this, I completely disagree. 8 years of control over Bedard vs 3 years of control over McDavid, for a rebuilding team that, even with McDavid, is nowhere near being a playoff team, the risk is ALL on CHI here. Whereas EDM would be receiving 8 years of control over Bedard, $20.6M in cap space, and they already have a very stacked roster, even without McDavid.

This just wouldn't happen. Makes no sense for either team. Especially if CHI is the one doling out extra assets in the deal.
