Zegras is Marner 2.0 hope this is fake news
Hell no to Zegras. He'd be aggravating the problem, not fixing it. I'd feel better about McTavish, plus a young D and a first would work, then spend the rest of the cap space on defence/goal.
Anyone who thinks marner will waive is wrong..he has zero incentive to. Dubas let a ton of talent walk for nothing…Marner walking is his Mona lisa and a confirmation of how bad a GM he is and was and how shannahan has been making bad decisions since lou left.
Stop, hes not going anywhere
To Anaheim: Mitch Marner, Morgan Reilly, David Kampf, Timothy Liligren
Approx 23.5 Million
To Toronto: MacTavish, Trevor Zegras, Gibson retained and Cam Fowler
Approx 16 Million with retention on both Gibson and slight retention on Fowler..
This deal plus approx 7 Million in cap space.
Leafs have scorers!
They need some strong to the puck players that like to hit and can pick up their game in the playoffs.
I would do marner liligren for gudas (50% retain) mactavish, 1st 2nd 2 3rds
John Gibson is 6 seasons removed from consistently good netminding but still, there are a couple of things about acquiring him that makes sense. First off, his age in relation to his contract where he will be 31 at the beginning of next season with 3 years left on his deal. By that time they will know exactly what they have with Joseph Woll and/or Dennis Hildeby or other goalie prospects in the organization.
Gibson's cap hit at $6.4M AAV is a bit high but some salary retention could fix that.
Eliminating the ongoing goalie carousel that has been going on in Toronto for the next 3 seasons is exactly what the Leafs should be looking for…. But the single biggest reason it could make sense is what the 2024 UFA class of netminders currently looks like. There isn't much out there, suggesting that it will likely take a trade to find a goalkeeper. Getting a veteran like Gibson for $5M per season or less would not be too much of a risk, but even if he completely flounders he could be bought out without too much pain.
How does getting Zegras, who is not any different interests of physicality than Marner, going to help the Leafs. McTavish would be a real nice piece though but not as a 1 for 1.
Highly doubt Marner wants to go there. Marner strikes me as a legacy kind of guy, his legacy will take a huge hit if he goes to the Ducks
TOR not dealing with a team in division, top playoff contenders not interested in Marner, Marner not interested in 'rebuilding' teams, leaving: CBJ 40% chance, Vancouver 30%, Calgary 20%, Nashville 10%.
Zero and I mean zero chance Marner will go to Anaheim in a contract year. He needs to get his 90+ points to make sure he gets paid and that's a long shot on a low scoring team like Anaheim.

Hahahahahaha if it’s not MacTavish, I’m not interested in trading with Anaheim
Would be shocked if Leafs can get something close to PLD return. Heck would take Vilardi and a 2nd.
LOOK.A Marner trade must be for a top goalie.And the money left over for a top D man.
It doenst matter what return you get for Marner .The VALUE is in the cap space that the Leafs gain .As long as Marner will waive and accept a move ,the return that you get does not matter much . With the $11M cap space freed up ,the Leafs can go out this summer and get Sam Reinheart ( or Montour ) as A UFA which wont cost them any assets .Would rather have Reinhart or Montour in a do or die game 7 than Marner. all day long !!!
Marner for Seth Jones. Everything makes sense. Leafs get a big shut down defenceman. Cap is almost the same.But the Leafs save money. Jones is a right handed defenceman. Chicago has cap space. Marner gets to play with Bedard.
before the Leafs even consider moving Marner ,they will expore all possibilties of getting out of Tavares final year of $11M .WHatever it takes ,stripping him of the C and giving it to Mathews so he gets so pissed off and waives his NMC,or benching hims ,putting him on the 4th line whatever it takes .Also they will not move Marner unless they have Domi re signed .With Marner and Domi both gone ,who is feeding Austin the puck ? Knies ? Willie ? I dont think so .With both Domi and Marner gone Austin would lucky is he cracks 50 goals
I like this potential trade better than anything that's come forth so far.
What line is Cowan going on next season
Anaheim is not giving up McTavish, trust me. He looks a solid, gritty centre for the next 10 years to build around. Mitch looks like a player on his way down.
Tavares is mor effective at the 3rd center. He is excellent at the face off circle and can be more defensive and pop in a few goals. Leafs need a second line center. They should also sign UFA David Perron for the power play and take Bertuzzi spot. Also sign UFA Montour for the pp and trade Reilly for Saros. Nashville just traded away McDonagh. Trade Marner to Vegas for Petriangelo and Kolesar. Petriangelo and Perron both played for Berube in St. Louis.
It has to be a team that has a chance to make playoffs, needs more scoring, and is in a destination that he'd waive to go to
We want Marner traded because he's a b#$% in the playoffs. Zegras would be way worse. Now Zellweger and McTavish would be what I'd look at. Both
Just ask yourself, what team would give up top assets for a "me" guy who plays soft, timid hockey and disappears in the playoffs and will demand $12.5 – $14 Mil on an extension, and who is not a team leader one iota. And almost all NHL players dislike this guy, including a lot of Leafs/ex-Leafs. They just won't admit it in public, trust me.
Good idea with Gibson I feel the same, save the $ hoping one will mold into your #1, vs overpaying now for a bonafide #1 when the team in front is not yet ready for a true run. If neither work out then once the team in front has been solidified, pick one up at that point as the last loose end to tie up.
Marner should be traded for playoff goalie best possible and maybe a defender that can be defensive in playoffs otherwise be happy with more cap and a goalie and picks . Vegas has 2 guys Hill and Thompson…
No fucking way zegras for marner , even if i want marner gone and he needs to go along with tavares but thats ridiculous , gibby and McTavish however hell fucking ye !!!!
