Tags had said what about a prop with Marner to Seattle. I told him I would give it a shot.

Seattle
Marner $9.49M($1.5M retained)
Liljegren RFA

Tor
Wright $.918M($3M if bonuses reached)
Borgen $2.7M
2024 3rd(Tor)

Seattle picks up a proven point producer in Marner and they need a still youngish high calibre player. They also get Liljegren to help fill the hole left by Borgen.

Toronto picks up a top 4, big physical RD in Borgen and a young C/RW and former 4th overall pick in Wright who is from Burlington and seems to be getting it at the pro level. Helps Leafs be more cost controlled going forward. They also get their 3rd rounder back for the retention on Marner.

RLF thanks for the prop.
I like it.
Hopefully Wright develops into that 2C we will need moving forward. Borgen is also another big, physical RHD type guy who Tre covets.
Also, leaves us cap space to target Roy or Tanev.
Good prop IMO.

02 May 2024 22:54:55
these people suggesting the Leafs trade Mitch don't know much about hockey. He haas a no movement clause.

02 May 2024 23:12:42
You must be fun at parties bluenose.

02 May 2024 23:46:41
Bluenoser.
Lol. Anyone that thinks just because a player has an NMC means he will never be traded knows nothing about hockey. No?
I bet I can name players with NMC's that have been moved. Would you like to bet I can?

03 May 2024 11:27:51
I just don’t have a good feeling about Wright turning into an above average player.
Since he left junior he has been average to below average.
He doesn’t inspire confidence.

I like Borgen a lot and have long felt that his style of play would make him a good partner for Morgan Reilly.

03 May 2024 17:30:51
The idea is sound but I just have doubts that wright can turn into the player he was drafted to be but the value is there a young nhl ready player and a good d option.

03 May 2024 20:42:21
RLF…. Good for you! All of us could name players with NMC who were traded. Happens every year at the deadline. The important part is that the player must agree to be traded. Marner wouldn’t agree to go to Seattle IMO.

03 May 2024 21:25:49
Ckps. That's possible, he may not and I've said that before. My point was obvious that my post was a counter to bluenoser saying if you post a trade involving a guy who has a NMC on a fantasy trade site, you don't know anything about hockey.
Good for you to agree with me and miss the point of the post at the same time.

Nash
Marner $10.9M

Tor
Scissons $2.86M
Afanasyev $.789M
2024 2nd

Nash picks up a top line RW to play with O'Reilly and Forsberg. They have tons of cap space to re-sign Marner.

Leafs pick up a 2/3 centre, a top 9 prospect and a 2nd plus $8M in new cap space.

Yes, Nash gets the better player and doesn't seem like a ton for Marner. They get valuable cap space and two cost controlled players plus a pick. Time to change the core and need cap space to do that.

01 May 2024 16:09:26
Not against this deal.

I’ve liked Sissons for awhile, hard-to-play against 2-way player.

I also like Cody Glass, younger and bigger with other positive skills but maybe injury prone.

The trade itself doesn’t make us better. The opportunity to change the core with strong UFA is what makes it appealing to me.

01 May 2024 16:18:43
Trade ain't the great, Marner played great, I think he just needs another playmaker/ shooter on his line so he has options. I like this new first line. Maybe they play Matthews for Willy and Knies, JT with Jarnkrok and Robo.

01 May 2024 16:25:36
@RLF IMO I think any Marner deal would have to include a top 4D, preferably RHD.
I get the cap space, but that doesn't guarantee us to get the FA we want.

01 May 2024 16:50:14
Papi. I said the deal favored Nashville. Cap space is the added asset which Leafs don't have if keeping Marner, nor will they have it to add to the top 6 if Marner stays.

Tags. My thought as well to start. Then I went through teams and couldn't find who would want to give up a top 4 and take on Marner's contract.

01 May 2024 19:41:16
@Papi he did not play great lol.

I like this deal.

02 May 2024 00:02:33
Sarros needs to be coming back.

02 May 2024 00:03:29
Can’t say I would like to see that.
I am sure there are much better deals available for a Top 10 scorer and Selke candidate!

02 May 2024 12:14:53
CKPS. I thought about Saros coming back as Nash has Askarov in waiting. Good move for Nash. Not sure for the Leafs though as Saros might be looking for $7-$8M on his next deal. He has been very inconsistent this playoffs as well. I'd rather go with Woll and a solid backup, which should be less combined than what Saros makes and/ or will ask for to re-sign.

WB49. Like what? Post a deal.

02 May 2024 12:25:10
@RLF how about Seattle?
Maybe you can make a Marner prop with Oleksiak (Tre type Dman) & McCann, and possibly Brandon Tanev as well.
Getting Brandon might be an added incentive to lure Chris over in the off season.

02 May 2024 13:32:32
Tags, I think you just did create a prop with Seattle. lol
So, Leafs take on Tanev to get McCann and Oleksiak for Marner I take it?
McCann is a 30-40 goal scorer the last two seasons. They don't have anyone else who scored more than 20 last season, so I am not sure who Marner is setting up for goals. They would probably want Marner to play with McCann.

I will give it a try anyway and post one. lol.

I would be overjoyed with Anderson on this blueline.

30 Apr 2024 06:09:23
Brodie only player a minus 2 last game
Great coaching decision Keefe
Should never have extended him.

02 May 2024 22:57:38
This guy doesn't know much about hockey.

29 Apr 2024 14:47:33
Utah
Marner $10.9M

Tor
McBain $1.6M
Ingram $1.95M
Lamoureux ELC

Utah gets a notable top line player to market around and have tons of cap space. Marner become "the" guy there which probably suits what he wants to be.

Toronto picks up a mid-6 physical forward in McBain(Toronto boy), A goalie with term in Ingram to tandem with Woll and a Big RD prospect while clearing about $7.4M in cap space.

29 Apr 2024 22:54:19
I like it. Utah strikes me as the best target too.

30 Apr 2024 02:16:01
Also a team that marner won’t go to.

30 Apr 2024 04:23:20
@CKPS the biggest issue with a NMC in a nutshell. If he says he's only going to a contender, you can't do much.

We can only speculate on middling teams that he may agree too.

30 Apr 2024 09:37:27
I find the proposal heavily weighted to Utah.
Marner for Keller and McBain I would feel is a better balance.
Keller replaces some of the 90 - 100 points per season that Marner generates.
Also the proposal of Ingram and McBain only carries a $3.75 cap hit while Marner would be adding $10.9 to Utah’s cap.
Substitute Keller ($7.15) for Ingram and Lamoureux and you have $9.1 coming back to the Leafs.

Keller - Matthews - Domi
McMann - Tavares’s - Nylander
Knies - McBain - Jarnkrok.

30 Apr 2024 09:39:14
I disagree @LL he could go to a contender leafs would have to eat some of his salary tho I like this trade but still left with wanting more I guess my thought ways send Reilly to Utah since they have a thin blueline and take back crouse then at least if Bert don’t come
Back they are protected on the left wing.

30 Apr 2024 13:21:18
WB49. Yes, it's weighted to Utah. Switching Keller for Marner doesn't really help Utah be better. Having both makes them better and they have tons of cap space to pull this trade off. For the Leafs, the extra cap space allows them to add a less expensive talent than Marner with the cap space saved ($7.4M) . So, it ends up being Marner for McBain, Ingram, Lamoureux and whoever they sign with the $7.4M. Allows them to probably bring back Bert as well and add on D as Leafs would have over $27M in cap space to spend.

I don't think Marner to a contender would happen unless it is a blockbuster type of deal due to cap implications.

30 Apr 2024 16:47:13
A trade revolving around Marner for Keller (probably plus) would be great. The chemistry Mathews had with him at the All Star tournament was incredible. I'm getting sick of the ghost of Marner come playoffs and fear the contract he will command next.

01 May 2024 23:44:43
I like it
Utah and Marner sounds perfect.

02 May 2024 00:16:24
I think when you trade a player of Marner’s stature and skill level you need to get back somewhat similar value.
McBain is a 3rd/ 4th line player.
Ingram is a backup, possibly 1B goaltender and Lamoureux is a rookie who is a big maybe.
I don’t see that as sufficient justification for clearing cap space.
If you are trading Marner you HAVE to get a top six player or top pairing defenseman in return.

28 Apr 2024 20:30:11
Tor- Marner, Minten
Uta- Keller, crouse, 1 of Vejmelka/Ingram

Resign Domi, Lyubushkin, Liljegren

Let walk bertuzzi, samsonov, klingberg, murray, Brodie, Edmunson, Gio,

Keller-Matthews-Domi
McMann-Tavares-Nylander
Knies-Holmberg-Crouse
Robertson-Kampf-Jarnkrok
Extra Reaves

Reilly-Lyubushkin
Benoit-Liljregren
McCabe-Niemela

Woll
1 Arizona goalie


I don't know how much cap we saved here but it's definately some then we target d-men in free agency to bump Niemela back down the lineup.

Free agent possibilities - Montour, Dumba, Ghost, Hronek, Zadorov, Pesce

29 Apr 2024 00:09:31
Llyigren can go blow smoke and Domi too!
All defense can go except Benoit and McCabe, Yes, Cry baby Rielly traded!

30 Apr 2024 02:18:51
Lybushkin is a turnstile. So is Benoit in the playoffs.
