Thread: Tkachuk for Marner
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>its92SZN</b></div><div>I don’t watch Calgary enough to understand there wants and needs as a hockey club. All I know is Toronto need a guy like “Tkachuk”. Literally the missing piece to there club . Take whatever accept A.M and I would make this deal.</div></div>

Every team would love to have a guy like Tkachuk. That is why the price would be astronomical to acquire him. Add Mangiapane to the deal and now you've made the asking price even higher.

Nylander + Robertson + Sandin would likely get the Flames listening. (And that would just be for Tkachuk). That isn't a trade that I am interested in making but, think along those lines.

The bottom line is, the price for Tkachuk is likely more than the Leafs are willing to pay at this point. They way you acquire those guys is to draft them.

Some Leafs fans will point to Marner's scoring totals and try to justify a fair deal. That isn't the big picture. Even though Tkachuk does not produce the scoring numbers that MM does, he provides immeasurable other intangibles that are a rare commodity in todays NHL.

It just isn't a very realistic trade from a Calgary perspective.
