Thread: what would the Wild give for Marner
The value isn't bad, but the players might not be the right choice. Any Marner trade starts with Dumba over Spurgeon. Age difference and contract status are the 2 big factors there. Then a young, up and coming roster player, Greenway fits that description but I'd aim for Luke Kunin. Only 21 and a well needed right handed centre, that might be the thing Toronto needs most actually. Then multiple picks involved and perhaps another prospects. Toronto has to add a bit as well, but those should be the main pieces coming back. I doubt if Minnesota would "want to give" that for Marner, but it seems to be pretty good value for him.

I've suggested this in the past:

:wild
Mitch Marner
Callé Rosén
Toronto 2020 3rd round pick

:mapleleafs
Matt Dumba
Luke Kunin
Conor Dewar
Minnesota 2020 1st round pick (top 5 protected)
Minnesota 2021 5th round pick

Thread: Value of Zaitsev and Brown
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Smitty426</b></div><div>Sammy, so I've read elsewhere where his $ is not bad, its the term you guys are not happy with. But it seems like all proposals are looking for a shutdown d man (Adam Larsson for example). I don't watch TML's, but is he not that? He's playing with the wrong partner based on what I read from you. Is that all correct? Thx</div></div>

Its correct! Im not happy with the term but also Zaitsev was brought to NA as offensive defenceman who has exceptional defensive and shutdown capabilities for an offensive guy. He always was offensive Dman as I remember him from his days in KHL and actually Ozhiganov was defensive partner for him for few years thats why Ozhiganov seems better player than Zaitsev. Oz was always defensive defender while Zaitsev offensive one. His play for national team at last IIHF World championship was exceptional and he was ppg player. Why? He was paired with two-way guys on his LHD side. He has become that. The fact that he is paired with wrong guy is true as well. Gardiner has been horrible defensively and actually was never good with Zaitsev. They are both affected by them being together. Zaitsev was paired with Rielly in first year of his NHL career and was 36 point or so guy. He is that and I actually see him (if not traded) being paired with Dermott next year which would help him getting his offence into place.
