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.

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.

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.

@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.

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.

@Papi he did not play great lol.
I like this deal.

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!

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.

@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.

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.
