Potential Marner trade with Nashville? Thoughts?



I know the team is interested along with tons of other teams, but man Marner for Saros and some draft picks and some tweaks here and there yes please

    Saros, Josi, and force O’ Reilly to come back. Sounds fair to me.

  2. mikesully374826

    Well of course they are, but is Mitch interested in Nashville?

  3. SalaciousPanda

    Popped into the preds sub for a peek and they basically think the same things we do about him. He’s very very good regular season, soft and disappears in the playoffs, costs too much.

    Having said that, a majority of the posts are halfway keen and mention saros.

  4. Accomplished_Low148

    I feel like I’m in the minority but I rather us get Askarov than Saros. Younger, cheaper and apparently has a super high ceiling.

    Throw in a young player like Luke Evangelista and a first rounder like tanner Moldenyk + the 11m in cap savings and I think you got a great deal. Nashville is a popular city, they’re competitive, lowkey and can absord Marner’s cap hit. Win Win

    Goalies never, ever, ever, ever return anywhere near a player like Mitch Marner. Ever.

    And a 1st doesn’t even come close to bridging the gap.

    If the Leafs are going to trade a piece like Marner for a goalie, they sure as shit better fix the defense, otherwise Saros will be run out of town in a year or two

    At a MINIMUM they’d need to add Fabbro or Carrier or Lauzon and a 1st and they can take Kampf back as well.

  6. There’s no one from Nashville I’d want to swap Marner for. Good players no doubt but outside of Saros, they have no one we really need and I wouldn’t just straight swap

  7. Acrobatic_Law5598

    Every team will show interest and he’ll make that team better. Such a shitty situation.

  8. moon_safari_

    we need more than just a goalie for marner. I don’t care if the goalie’s elite.

  9. He makes a lot of sense for Nashville. Very defensively responsible team that lacks some high end talent. Mitch is that, despite his playoff performance. Would also be nice to send him somewhere we’ll never hear about him.

  10. ScienceNthingsNstuff

    100% no. Goalies are too inconsistent to be confident that it’ll work out and goaltending wasn’t the major issue the past 2 years. It doesn’t solve our transition, goal scoring or special teams. Plus he only has 1 year left and will likely want a hefty pay raise so you get 1 year of cap relief.

    I’d much prefer targeting a D or forward or a package of players+picks.

    Nashville rapidly turning into an ex-Leafs refugee camp, he’ll have RoR’s shoulder to cry on when someone mentions media coverage and gives him ‘nam flashbacks

  12. DessertRose17

    I want Marner moved but that’s a trash deal for us. I don’t even think that’s close to value unless there are 2x 1sts attached or a real top 4 defender in his prime. 

    Anything short of a Sorokin/Shesty/Swayman and it’s not a fair 1for1. 

  13. BathroomSerious1318

    I don’t think this is a good idea because Nashville makes the playoffs

    How about Columbus?

  14. ratedetar21

    Going to love all these trade rumors for a guy with a NMC.

  15. BumpyMcPeen

    Window is open as long as Matthews is here. Goaltender NOW

  16. Fun-Firefighter1992

    I’m 100% sure that the first he heard about this was seeing this headline too

  17. This is too funny. Everyone here shitting on marner for being the problem, useless, invisible in playoffs, locker room cancer etc, yet expecting to get a kings ransom for him. Which one is it guys?

  18. TheLoomingMoon

    If ROR did dip out because of the room, this would be hilarious

  19. scarborough_bluffer

    Remember…Predators move in flocks!

  20. S_P_R_U_C_E

    Only if we can somehow get Grabovski with this deal.

  21. OkabesRazor

    Saros while undeniably a number 1 is on a 1 year deal. I’d take him if they can re-sign him to a reasonable deal, under like 8 million. I’d need them to add on this deal though because Goalies are such voodoo and Saros is coming off a mediocre year. They add their 1st and Tomasino/Evangelista and I’d listen.

  22. Shiny_Mew76

    Of all teams to have interest in Marner, I did not expect Nashville. I would have expected a team like Chicago or Buffalo, who would like some extra help scoring.

  23. Ryan McDonagh makes 6.75 for the next 2 seasons, but I’d be very curious about a Saros, McDonagh, forward prospect, picks type package for Marner and maybe Kampf or Jarnkrok to toss some more salary out the door.

    McDonagh is old and expensive, but he is a goddamn warrior and that kind of attitude and experience would be SO huge. See if they can sign Pesce after that and bring back Lilly and you can have Rielly with Pesce as the top pair and then McDonagh, McCabe, Benoit, and Lilly filling out the D with Saros and Woll behind them? That might be legit.

  24. Excellent-Class-4897

    Obviously if the leafs can do it it’s great, you get to dump a terrible contract at 11m a year is amazing on its own let alone getting assets for it? No Brainer here.

  25. Is there any chance Marner plays in Toronto next year? I know he has a no movement clause but it just seems like it’s over for him.

  26. I’ve been saying Saros+Fabbro works.

    All parties involved have 1 year left in their deals too.

    Saros+Fabbro = $7.5M total too.

  27. diecorporations

    Absolutely yes if they get a real goalie.

  28. 123jazzhandz321

    Saros + ROR + Schenn + 2025 protected 1st round pick for Marner + a couple bubble prospects

    Forwards:

    Bertuzzi – Matthews – Domi

    Knies – Tavares – Nylander

    Cowan – ROR – McMann

    Robertson – Holmberg – Bellows

    Dewar

    Defence:

    Rielly – Roy/Tanev/Pesce

    McCabe – Liljegren

    Benoit – Schenn

    Webber – Timmins

    Goalies:

    Saros

    Woll

    Thank God 🙏 lol 😅 anyone want jt, samsonov, lol

  30. Complex_Mistake7055

    There is no way trading Marner ages well. When he is scoring 100 points 4 years from now and the 2 defensemen and goalie the Leafs get are either run out of the league or are negative value assets this trade will look terrible.

  31. Constant_Gur5530

    Over half the teams in the league are interested in Marner. Soft as melted butter or not, the guy’s an elite player who puts up 100 points a season or close.

  32. Drzhivag007

    If I’m trading with Nashville it’s not for Sarros it’s for Roman Josi.

  33. TheCarrier89

    Saros ain’t enough. A good goalie means nothing if you have bad defense. If we trade Marner to Nashville, Josi better be the return.

  34. Way back in NHL 21, in my career mode, one of the few I made it a long time with (Pandemic, am I right?) he signed with the Predators.

    It was a sign.

  35. Captain_Crank

    Last time the Leafs traded for high end goalies we went for toskola and raycroft. I can see us getting burned again on a trade and Marner scoring 110 pts next year and a couple hatties against the Leafs. Just the way she goes lol
