<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>seanrushton</b></div><div>That cap crunch is the hardest part of making Armchair GMs for this season because you have to be cognizant of the cap for both this and next year. I would suggest getting rid of the Boston and Calgary trades and bring up somebody like Domenick Fensore to play that open defensive position.</div></div>


I like Fensore as a prospect, but he’s a long shot to even make the NHL, much less play meaningful minutes next season or even the season after. He’s going to need a lot of AHL time. Honka might be ready next year, for spot duty. But much more likely they end up with a journeyman, vet LD to pay with Chatfield.

To the OP - if Toffoli only costs that much, sign me up. Don’t see the point of the Grzyz trade, just sign a vet to league min and keep the picks. Kinda meh on PLD, would rather spend those sort of pieces for a longer term piece. pLD ain’t signing long term in Raleigh

And who else does Aho have to help him? Does he have a Nylander or Matthews on his line? Seems to me he’s doing more with less and still making it further in the playoffs.

And you’ve still not given any compelling argument for justifying Aho for Marner 1-1, much less the ridiculous OP proposal.

Why does CAR need to change the makeup of their team? The need goal scoring, they’ll get Svechnikov back and they’ll have a ton of cap space and futures to address that. They, as a team, are much more complete than the Leafs.

Aho very likely is re-signed this summer, as discussions evidently have already started. Pesce, again likely re-signed this summer.

Even if both players do end up not re-signing, the Canes could bring in much more value by trading them separately and while still retaining the cap space to potentially replace them, something they would not have by taking on Marner’s $11M.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>zapple</b></div><div>just basing it off the tkachuk trade last year where the flames gave up a worse player than marner, for a 100 point scorer(more than aho) + weegar(better than pesce), maybe take out the first but it's a very comparable trade.</div></div>


No it’s really not.

Florida already had Barkov and Huberdeau was coming up on 30. Aho is 26 still in his prime, plays a much more important position than Marner AND he’s a better goal scorer.

So, CAR scoffs at the ask of Aho 1-1 for Marner, much less adds.

I’m not even going to get into the ridiculous ask of Pesce + a 1st on top of Aho.

Marner ain’t no Tkachuk. Another point which blows your misguided valuation out of the water was that Tkachuk came with a reasonably priced 8yr extension. Marner is on a bloated $11M deal for just 2 more years.
