CBJ Marner
Because you asked nicely: there's a couple of pieces Columbus wouldn't trade under any circumstances for Marner, because of team/positional need and the fact that Marner (though great) is kind of redundant positionally with Gaudreau and fiscally irresponsible with Laine here. Fantilli, Werenski, Jiricek, 4OA, and Jenner are all off the table based on how important they are for the team. And frankly, we don't want/need Marner badly enough to part with any of them at this time.
If there's a Marner trade that could be worked out without involving any of those pieces, great, I'd suggest something like this: <a href="https://www.capfriendly.com/forums/thread/833361">ACGM I did a couple days ago</a>
If not...Toronto is better off sending him elsewhere, thanks but no thanks.

Columbus...might? If it's that or a buyout, I'd consider a 1-for-1 with Rakell/Elvis. It's solving one problem while creating another (we already have too many forwards), but might as well try it? The buyout isn't that much different next year vs. Elvis this year.
I think you'd have to entice us with a pick given the deal is longer, but it wouldn't be anything egregious.

I wouldn't even take him for free, unless we decide to move on from Kuraly in the offseason and that LDBB isn't ready. He's an expensive defensive 4C with term who's not all that great at the whole defensive part of the game anymore.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HShockey</b></div><div>Jarnkrok isn't a cap dump, Kampf you could argue. The Leafs could definetly get a 2nd/3rd for a versatile, 10-15 goal scorer at 2.1. Kampf doesn't have much value, but the Pens need a 4C and Dubas loves his old players</div></div>
Jarnkrok isn't a cap dump, Kampf is but he's not an expensive one to move. He just doesn't bring enough to a team to warrant the cap hit (unlike Jarnkrok), and the only spot he might be useful in at this point is 4C. Jarnkrok probably fetches a 3rd or 4th from a contender (a la Roslovic last TDL), and Kampf probably costs a 6th or 7th to dump.
And FWIW, Provorov half-retained is probably worth a late 1st/early 2nd. He's a well-rounded, reliable 2nd-pair D-man who's just not a great fit in Columbus and not part of the future plans. If that's the basis for the deal, I'd prefer Provorov and a 4th (maybe a 3rd if the market is light) for the TOR 1st, which <em>should </em>be very late.

Tavares Marchessault
I don't know why Toronto would entertain that. They give away a useful player, get essentially two 4th-liners that won't really contribute, and get very little cap relief in the process? And then get utterly f*** next year with the additional $9M+ they wouldn't have had if they just kept Tavares?
Hell, Columbus would just take Tavares for free, no retention, and I imagine that's a more attractive offer.

4OA isn't available.
Neither is Jiricek, Werenski, Fantilli, or Jenner.
Marner is redundant with Laine and Gaudreau, so we're not trading for him if we're giving up a core piece of the future or if Laine isn't included.
Start with Laine + Johnson (since he's a similar player with a similar ceiling to Marner) and build a package around that, or Columbus simply isn't interested, whether Marner waives or not.

Taking next step
I'd be stoked about landing Levshunov, Reinhart, and Rossi. But the changes I'd make:
1) Chinakhov + Jenner > Rossi + Gustavsson, so the picks are a nonstarter, and may need to flip sides to make the currently-unavailable Jenner available.
2) If you're adding Gustavsson, an Elvis buyout or trade would be necessary. He's not necessarily better than Gus or Tarasov, but he's definitely not playing 3rd-fiddle.
3) You should absolutely re-sign Texier, just throw him on the 4th line instead of TFW.
Overall, I'm not a fan of the leadership vacuum, but this team is definitely better than last year's IMO.

Parekh or Buium, or even Silayev, might be on the same level in terms of ceiling. The reason I didn't include them is playstyle and handedness. We're set to have at least 2 offensive-minded, playmaking D-men for a long time with Werenski and Mateychuk, and possibly a 3rd if you include Boqvist.
Drafting undersized offensive D-men that would be the 3rd option on the powerplay and possibly on the left side (Parekh, Buium), or just forcing someone to play on the off-side (Silayev) isn't really a Jiricek replacement. It's not a reason to not draft those people if they're BPA at 4OA, but it is absolutely a reason to hang onto your currently-irreplaceable prospect.

Columbus fans whats the move
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sharcuda22</b></div><div>The Jiricek interviews from earlier in the year that caused a small uproar. He was frustrated (i think justifiably given Columbus’ defense) about not getting the same opportunities as other high end d prospects like Korchinski. There was a lot of a certain type of hockey fan that was essentially telling Jiricek he needs to put his head down shut up and play. From the outside looking in it appeared to have some discord between staff and Jiricek. Like i said in the description though with new management i feel he will stay.</div></div>
This is pretty much nail on the head for the situation: he was justifiably frustrated, management has changed, and he both got NHL playing time regularly at the end of the season and has gone back to tearing up the AHL in the playoffs. I doubt he'd still want out under new management.
This:
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>alwaysnextyear</b></div><div>If CBJ were to move him I'd have to think it would be a 1-for-1 swap of a comparable prospect that's ready to crack an NHL roster.</div></div>
And this:
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RecycleShark</b></div><div>He's probably their best prospect. When I proposed a Jiricek to the Sharks trade on ACGM, a CBJ fan said they wanted Will Smith for Jiricek. Sound about right?</div></div>
Are both correct. He was #6 on Elite Prospect's <a href="https://www.eliteprospects.com/ranking-portal/aba2205d-8abc-4280-9a13-84d79feec324/top-100-prospects-in-the-nhl" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Top 100 NHL-Affiliated Prospects</a> at the start of the year, and sure it was a bumpy sophomore slump at times, but there's no reason to think he's not at least still top-20. And given this year's draft class...he may still be a top-20 NHL-affiliated prospect going into next year.
The biggest thing, though, is positional need for Columbus. We have the star center prospect (Fantilli), the middle-6 center prospects (Voronkov, Sillinger) the excellent wing prospects (Johnson, Marchenko), and the strong LD prospect (Mateychuk), and even a couple of starting goalie prospects (Graves, Tarasov, Ivanov). The only RD in the system that looks to have an NHL ceiling is Jiricek, as Ceulemans has been struggling and there's not much beyond that.
So, if we're moving Jiricek...it has to be a similar-ceiling, young, right-shot D-man coming back, or it doesn't make sense. Honestly, <strong>I'd only entertain moving him if we land Levshunov, or are trading him straight-up for the 2nd overall pick to get Levshunov</strong>. He's the only right-shot D in this draft with Jiricek's ceiling.

A Mutually Worked-Out Marner to CBJ Trade - TOR
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tkecanuck341</b></div><div>But there are numerous examples from all of these other teams where players choose these teams over other suitors. Panarin and Fox chose New York over an entire league looking to woo them. John Tavares chose Toronto even though San Jose offered him more money. Sure you can say he only wanted to sign with his hometown team, but that's the point. There's not a lot of NHLers from Ohio.
If it were just a few examples of players choosing other teams over Columbus, it wouldn't be that big of a deal, until you realize that no one really ever chooses Columbus. Gaudreau is the exception. Horton too, I guess. Most other teams have a ton of counterexamples.</div></div>
I mean, sure, there's not a lot of players from Ohio yet that are signing in Columbus because it's the hometown team, but...that also almost never happens? Tavares was an exception, not a rule.
The reasons not to sign in Columbus are because it's one of the newest franchises in the league, hasn't had a ton of success, and is a historically smaller market operating on an internal cap. That could be any franchise, and the budget/internal cap is finally changing as the market grows. The only reason Florida isn't looked at the same way is because of the beach and tax situation.
Hell, far more players have explicitly chosen not to play in Canada (NTCs frequently list mainly Canadian teams) just because of higher taxes and tighter regulations, yet ~41% of NHLers are Canadian. Ottawa and Buffalo are far more dysfunctional organizations at the moment, and Utah would be on that list if they hadn't just gotten here.
My point is, it's never about legitimate gripes with Columbus as a destination, any reasons to avoid signing here for that reason exist in other markets in the NHL. There's plenty of good reasons to sign here, as we've seen with JG, Werenski, Jenner, Rick Nash (who's returned to live here and work in the FO), Cam Atkinson (who invested heavily in the community), and countless others. It's always disingenuous people trying to dunk on Ohio for some reason to feel better about themselves when in reality it's a great place to live and great hockey market with plenty to offer. The narrative needs to die because it's disingenuous and always applied in a "f*** you" kind of way.

Right...he's good, I never said he was underperforming (I said Turcotte is).

He's not getting moved by a team in dire need of top end talent for more of what we have already.
