Not sure if something like this has been posted.

To Calgary
Marner, Mitch $10.903/ 2 years
Tververg, Ryan ELC

To Toronto
Lindholm, Elias $4.85M/ 1 year
Andersson, Rasmus $4.55M/ 3 years
2024 3rd round pick

Calgary gets the best player in this deal who still has 2 years remaining on his contract, plus a potential Center prospect.
Why Calgary trades their 1C for a winger?
It seems like Lindholm has no interest to extend in Calgary beyond this coming season, so Calgary may try to get something rather than lose him to FA like Gaudreau.

Leafs get a 2C in Lindholm, so we can move Tavares to the wing, plus gain about $1.5M in cap space to put towards an FA signing. Also, we pick up a solid top 4D who can probably play with Rielly.

Thought?

Is marner actually better than lindholm?

Yes marner is better.

@Goat he is not. Every Leafs fan just seems to think Marner is God.

Why does everyone want to trade Marner
He’s by far the best player they have and I think he wants to be a leaf
Get him a big Nasty winger and a finisher and you would have the best line in the NHL.

I'd argue against that, lindholm is one of the best defensively responsive centers in the league, last year he and tkachuk led the nhl in plus minus. I know I know that stat is outdated and doesnt show the whole story, but marner can pass the puck well so hes clearly better, living in Calgary I see both teams a lot and taking salary into account it's nearly a wash for me but I'm also not a marner fan.

Lindholm doesn't seem like he wants to re-sign in Calgary, so I'm suggesting this trade which I believe works out well for both teams (I really think Calgary fans don't want another Gaudreau scenario) .
And if Marner doesn't want to re-sign the following year, they can trade him then.

If taking salaries into account, I can't see in any world that Marner is 2X better than Lindholm.
Interesting enough I had recently posted the same two Calgary players + a prospect for Matthews. I don't think the Flames would trade Lindholm and Andersson for Marner.
