Thread: Is this enough for Marner
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ON3M4N</b></div><div>They move Nylander if worse comes to worse. Even still the offer from OP isn't enough and the fact still remains that it would start with Barzal. Whether they would do it or not is irrelevant. OP asked if it was enough and the answer is no.</div></div>

As exo2769 said I would love to know how you are going to pay Marner? He is going to want $8+ and TOR simply can’t do it as currently constructed. And yes, please keep telling me how TOR has no use for a top pairing puck-moving defenseman like Leddy... you really want Barzal? His ELC is up after next year.. HOW ARE YOU GOING TO PAY HIM??? TOR holds very little leverage in this situation. Teams know TOR can’t afford Marner and they will use that to their advantage to get him through a trade, as I proposed, or an offer sheet. An offer sheet of 8million+ gets you 2 first round picks, a second rounder and a third rounder. You said picks and prospects doesn’t fit your “win now” strategy. My trade offer is a top pair D (Leddy), a former 1st round pick (Bellows), a former 2nd round pick (Wilde) and 2 first rounders. It comes down to whether TOR wants another team to offer sheet Marner and walk away with picks, or go with a trade to acquire pieces that can help now and in the future.

Thread: Convincing JT to stay
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MG1986</b></div><div>I could honestly not care less what either the Islanders or Kings did this offseason, aside from the Jon Tavares will-he-won't-he resign saga. As I said, until LA commits to a rebuild, there is no way they are letting go of all-world goalie, who is on a great contract. The only way I see LA trading Quick is if they could get a goalie of either equal value or a goalie prospect like Thatcher Demko (VAN) or perhaps Carter Hart (PHI) who might be ready to immediately step in a steal the show - and even that would be a major gamble. When proposing these blockbusters, people need to try and consider what the needs are from both sides. If LA makes a trade like this for scoring, how in the world are they going to find a Quick-level goaltender to take over starting duties?</div></div>

How about the best goalie in the KHL? Who is 10 years younger than quick and will be on an ELC FOR 2 years. LA gets cheaper and younger. Isles sell the future for the now. Good enough for team needs?
