Thread: Blues get their longterm superstar
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mokumboi</b></div><div>He's a better offensive player than Brett Hull? Since when? And the Blues don't care about "stars". They like balanced teams. They're not going to pay Marner 3-4M more than Thomas. And certainly not when the gutted defense means they won't contend for a while.

And I know he's a great player. Superstar is another animal. There are players far worse than Marner with bigger names as "stars".</div></div>

I actually thought Wayne played in St Louis later than Hull. Thought Hull left for Detroit in 97 and Wayne was a Blue in 98 before the rangers.

I get the balance and I get why the Blues wouldn't do the deal but it doesn't stop the fact that Marner would instantly your teams best player and frankly I don't think even this deal gets him out of Toronto. Buch and Parayko are fine players but neither is a star or even a top line player, if Buchnevich was younger or Parayko ever hit his potential it's closer in value but as is the Leafs would only get rid of Marner for a top pairing D man or a young player that can replace him

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mokumboi</b></div><div>Heh. Yes, the superstar Leafs fans have been bashing and trying to get rid of for years. The superstar casual fans might not have heard of, in part because he’s never been out of the second round.

To be fair, he's far closer to being a superstar than Lily is to being a Parayko replacement. Yikes.</div></div>

I hate saying this because he's a Leaf but he would be the best offensive player to play for the Blues since Gretzky. I get he's considered soft in playoffs but he's also a top 3 RW in this league, while also being one of the best defensive wingers in the league.

Thread: Next season
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MitchJr</b></div><div>Hypothetically speaking then - why would Marner waive (in his contract year) to leave Leafs &amp; Matthews to go play with a bottom 5 team. Not to mention a hated arch rival, he’d cement himself as most hated athlete in Toronto sports history.
Even hypothetically - hopefully you see how ridiculous the idea is. Like I said, no chance he gets traded to the Habs 🤦🏻</div></div>

Yes an imaginary trade proposal is always ridiculous, it's kind of what the fun of this site is lol

You can make up whatever scenario you want to justify the trade, also part of the fun of this site.

In this one let's say that Marner has priced himself out of Toronto, so they shop him, MTL has the best offer for him and the team approaches him about accepting the trade. See that's how a hypothetical works
