    That all of the good & smart teams in the league are ready to pounce here should tell you all you need to know about whether this trade is ultimately a good idea.

    If true this a very realistic trade partner and I can see Marner waiving his NMC for Vegas

  3. They’ve got some pieces we could really use and I bet the money would work too.

    I actually don’t love the idea of trading away a player of the calibre of Marner for many reasons. Having said that, the NHL is a cap league. We cannot afford to pay 4 forwards the percentage of cap we are and compete. That’s the biggest issue. We don’t have the balance to our lineup.

    No cap, obviously you keep Marner, but it is what it is at this point. For that reason, I can’t imagine competing for the cup next year if we still have Marner.

    In NHL I traded Marner and Timmins to Vegas for Theodore and Karlsson and now the Leafs are one win away from the Finals. Not saying the same will happen in real life, but I’m not not saying that it will either

    He specifically mentioned Theodore and Thompson.

    Throw in a good pick or prospect and I think that’s a pretty solid return.

  6. Does he have to go on Ltir before he gets traded?

    Straight up for Eichel, contingent upon Marner signing an extension. Fingers crossed.

    People will complain about whatever return we get but I’ll just be glad to have some change even if we lose the trade on paper. Thanks for your service Mitch, it was exciting.

    Nylander would surely like having Karlsson to eat Surströmming with before games
