Thread: what would the Wild give for Marner
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BurgerBoss</b></div><div>Honestly moving a young TOP10, possibly even TOP5 RW on this league for a pending UFA D, TOP6 winger and winger prospect with TOP6 potential as a base of the trade doesn't work long term.
TOR isn't saving any money after this move, and there's a potential risk that they'd lose Spurgeon after the year (I wouldn't be surprised to see him getting a 7x7 deal as UFA which TOR can't really afford).

The problem is that any trade that has the incentive for Dubas involving Marner includes assets from MIN that they'd never be in the position to give up.

If some godly being forces TOR to trade Marner to MIN, I'd say the move should be something like this:

:mapleleafs
Matt Dumba
Jordan Greenway
Kevin Fiala
2019 1st round pick
2020 2nd round pick

:wild
Mitch Marner
Nikita Zaitsev

And I think Wild would decline. Wild is not going to pay as much as TOR would like. And that is the biggest issue when you're dealing with the absolute top assets of the league. For top assets you naturally want top assets or close to that in exchange, until the cost gets too high from anyone to benefit from the deal. Moving several close to top assets for one top asset would create more problems than it would solve.

And that is the biggest issue.</div></div>

What about

Dumba
Fiala
Kunin
2nd or 3rd rounder

For

Marner
Hollowell
1st rounder
