Thread: MARNER TO NASHVILLE WITH ASKAROV TAKING THE HELM AS TEAM STARTER

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>gmgb</b></div><div>Why is it "just 1 year of Saros", when Marner is also a UFA at the same time? I know the OP is assuming Marner extends with NSH, but why not just assume Saros extends with TOR then?

Either way, NSH declines. The cost is too high, Evangelista is a no go (and one of the reasons why NSH likely isn't interested in Marner anyway), Hildeby isn't as valuable to NSH as he would be to TOR, as they have Askarov.</div></div>

1- bc Marner is younger & better

2- NSH would be STUPID if they didn’t do this (assuming they don’t mind paying Marner)
Getting a player of Marner's caliber, when the main piece coming back is an aging & declining goalie, would be an absolute steal

And no, I’m not a Leafs’ fan or from Canada
I actually hate the Leafs
Just don’t have any super biased homer views like some obviously do, Lol

Thread: MARNER TO NASHVILLE WITH ASKAROV TAKING THE HELM AS TEAM STARTER

NSH doesn't move those pieces for Marner.

Evangelista is untouchable as it currently stands as he is one of the best young pieces NSH has. NSH moving Evangelista is the equivalent of TOR moving Knies.

Tomasino could be on the way out, so NSH might package him as part of a deal, but NSH would rather trade Saros for a center as NSH center depth is genuinely awful. After O'Reilly it falls off a cliff.

I won't say no to Marner if Trotz can't make a Saros deal happen, but during the end of season media coverage, Trotz stated he had ever intention of resigning Saros ASAP.

Also, to add NSH isn't likely going to draft another RW in the 1st round. Likely drafting a C or RD at 22nd

If the Marner extension is in place to Nashville, I don't see how the Leafs can say no to the trade.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>nilees24</b></div><div>Yeah probably. Maple Leafs don't have much leverage in a Marner trade considering they're giving Marner the boot. Plus, the Leafs have cap trouble to make Marner's contract work next season and other teams know this. Don't see the Leafs getting too much in a Marner trade</div></div>

1- Who says they’re giving Marner the boot?

2- Even if that’s true- big “if” imo- NSH would still have to outbid other teams who would surely be interested in Marner

I doubt that Marner ends up going “cheap”
Leafs should still get a good return, as not all GMs will blame him for the Leafs playoff woes like their fan base seems to be

Thread: MARNER TO NASHVILLE WITH ASKAROV TAKING THE HELM AS TEAM STARTER

Just simple suggestion.

Since Askarov is young, you should try and put a veteran goalie with him as backup with playoff experience.

You’ve got the Leafs “selling low” on Marner for just 1 year of Saros coming off a “down” season

NSH probably has to add more imo

Thread: CORE FOUR NO MORE MARNER TO CALGARY BERUBE NEXT HEAD COACH

Marner has absolutely no interest in waiving to Flames. But let's stop this silly scenario that the Leafs HAVE to trade Marner because he's going to be a UFA. UFAs leave and get resigned by other teams all the time.... Marner is no different in summer of 2025.

Luby doesn't sign that contract and no reason to think Webber is an NHLer next season.

Absolutely no interest in Marner! Just stop! Flames will probably be trying to get #1 next year and Marner would stop that. Just doesn't make sense

I'd do that deal in a heartbeat for CGY. I think Marner holds significantly more value than a mid 1st + 3rd.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>nilees24</b></div><div>Maple Leafs don't have much leverage in a Marner trade considering they're giving Marner the boot.

It's not a fine return though. An aging goalie and a player that's shown decline isn't getting a top RW in the league. Calgary would likely have to add their 2024 1st to even get Toronto to talk to them

Thread: DRAFT IGINLA PLUS TRADE UP FOR SENNECKE

According to multiple draft pick value charts, the difference in value between the 8th overall pick and the 24th overall pick is equivalent to a late first rounder. I highly doubt Harris has that sort of trade value right now. Even if he did, the Kraken have a full blue line at the moment and will likely want to keep a starting spot open for Ryker Evans to continue his development, so I can't see them being all that interested in Harris. The Kraken are better served sticking at 8 and adding another top prospect to their pipeline than moving down 16 spots just to add a defenseman they don't really ned.

Thread: DRAFT EISERMAN PLUS TRADE UP FOR IGINLA

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>nilees24</b></div><div>I disagree. They have the Flames 1st in 2025 already plus when the trade Savard at the 2025 Trade Deadline they'll fetch a first. Happy to slightly overpay for Tij Iginla.</div></div>

CGY pick could be high, but could also be FLO’s pick. It is not because you’ll have draft capital that you can trade a potential 1st overall pick. If Suzuki and Matheson are injured most of the year. MTL could have a down year. Giving it for Iginla when you can possibly have Misa or Hagens is irresponsible.

Trading an unprotected 1st a year in advance when you are a rebuilding is pretty much the worst idea ever.

Thread: DRAFT EISERMAN PLUS TRADE UP FOR IGINLA

I wouldn't trade an unprotected 1st in a stronger draft class to reach on Eiserman, and I'm not on the Iginla hype train, I think he's good but not 5th/6th overall good

Thread: DRAFT IGINLA PLUS TRADE UP FOR DICKINSON

Hughes specifically said that they could trade their 1st pick if the BPA on their list is a LD. Why trading up for LD :P

If MTL get better each year, it is possible that they finish as the 8th worst team in 2025 and the 10th worst team in 2026. Basically, you could end up trading McKenna to draft a LD that you don't need.

When you want a Top 10 pick and the major return piece is a pick with Top 10 protection...

The only way Arizona accepts that is if you lose the top 10 protection.

Tij Iginla or Carter Yakemchuk. Better yet trade for another pick around 10th OA and get both. If Montreal takes Tij (I doubt they will) then it's pretty likely someone expected to go top 6 is still around at 8.

Thread: DRAFT IGINLA PLUS TRADE UP FOR DICKINSON

Ah, yes, the unwanted superfluous bottom-tier Harris & Ylonen combo as a key element in a major trade.

The top-10 protection on the 2025 first means that pick will have the value of a mid-round selection and that's IF it isn't shifted to 2026, further devaluing it from Arizona's point of view -- probably to the same year as the player picked with the no. 6 (Arizona isn't likely to fall all the way to no. 5) hits the NHL. So you're going to need an impact-now incentive like Kaiden Guhle to persuade Arizona to move back from no. 6 to no. 26 (or wherever). But then you'd get to keep the future first.
