Marner is a weird player. He's elite but his value doesn't sound as high as you hope it is.

[@benoitrobitaille5235]

Having Montreal trying really hard to get a decent french canadian player really drove the price up, is Marner real name Miche Marnier by any luck ?

[@exturkconner]

Value is based on two things, price and performance. Marner is elite but he's paid as an elite player. So he's not outstanding value. A high value player is always going to warrant more in trade then a guy that makes what he should.

[@thealbinorhino8760]

@@lordrayden3045 a) You don't know if he'll be available next summer, he and the Leafs could have a change of heart and do a deal or he could get traded later in the season and extend with that team. b) everything is time sensitive, if you're a contending team and you can get Marner now then you have incentive to do that and not to wait. Plus a trade can free up cap room on that team's end, which is something that the Leafs might be interested in since they will still be contending (think the Jets getting Vilardi, Iafallo, etc. back for Dubois and the Flames getting Huberdeau and Weegar for Tkachuk). c) very few players of Marner's age and talent become available at all in today's NHL d) Marner is incentivized to sign an 8 year extension post-July 1. If he goes to free agency he almost certainly isn't getting that 8th year

It's all true that Marner is the least disappointing of the 'core four' in playoffs, and that many of the things that are rumored to have happened in the past are just that...RUMOURS. But nevertheless, all the noise in Leafs Nation about dumping him is not exactly putting Leafs' management in any kind of a decent position to be getting 'fair value' in return. If Marner refuses to waive his no movement clause and then walks away as a UFA next year, Leafs Nation only has itself to blame for turning on a guy who at many times has been the Leafs MVP. None of it makes any sense, except that Leafs fans refuse to stop worshiping Matthews, and they know they can't move Tavares, so Marner becomes the target by default. But their anger is focused in the wrong places, IMO.

I think that's a good reason to think it's gotta be to Vegas for Theodore+. Anyone wanting Marner is probably going to want to negotiate with him first, to get him in on a new contract. Leafs can then ask to negotiate with Theodore in return. That said, personally, I still think all of this much too complicated to expect them to do anytime soon. If it happens, it'll be in August, not July 2. I wouldn't be surprised if Marner winds up just signing an extension with the Leafs.

3 way deal: Marner goes to (insert team here), Maple Leafs get Erik Cernak from Tampa Bay, Tampa bay gets draft picks. Tampa needs room to keep Stamkos. Right now they don’t have the room, but moving Cernak makes sense, and Toronto needs a solid defenseman. He’s got 2 cups and came up through the Lightning system, worked with McDonagh, Sergachev, and Hedman, and coached by John Cooper. He’s also 26 years old, so he’s going to be good for a number of years. I think he’d be a good fit.

[@asharpbflat7179]

Trades are inherently always trades for contracts. Aside from the improvements a team needs on the ice, what all involved teams ALWAYS want are better contracts under their cap structure. So naturally, one-on-one, you would only trade: Bad for bad, good for good contracts. Of course there's no such rule, but if you're worse off contract wise after a trade, you'll at least want compensation within that trade, until it's fair again (draft picks, salary retained, etc). Sometimes when hearing trade ideas I find myself thinking that GM's can only ever slowly improve their overall contracts architecture. If they are smart and got the right expertise they might quickly improve their teams ON-ICE (short term), while still dealing with an overload of really really bad contracts long term that might become even more of an overload because these short term on-ice improvements cost them. As a Leafs fan I'm always afraid that that's exactly them. I might be totally wrong with that whole contracts theory and multiple bad contracts might be solved faster than I think. In that case I'd still like to know what experts think are good or bad contracts on the Leafs and why they think a specific bad contract is actually moveable. I wouldn't trade Marner until February. He won't bring much in return NOW (certainly no Theodore). February is when GM's are likely to overpay. Today the Leafs would rather have to pay compensation, or so it feels.

Trade with a team that has cap space for a young player/s and picks. Use the cap space to get what you need now and at the trade deadline. Bring in Montour, Pesce and keep Lybushkin instead of always wasting your picks on him!

[@DaaaaaBears]

Marner for Josh doan+, help out Utah and the leafs need the cap space and more north south players like knies for Berube

[@joeynova9896]

How about Mitch Marner to Vancouver?

[@user-mt4ks4su3m]

Delusional

[@billk516]

leafs fans are overvaluing Marner

[@sals79]

a player who consistently gets around 100 points and plays in all situations...of course we are going to value marner high!

@@sals79 It not a nitpick. Would you call a guy a continual 50 goal scorer who has never scored 50 goals? Mithc Marner is cloer to a 60 point scorer then he is a 90 point scorer as he hit 60 range 4 times but only the 90 range 3 times, and never a 100 points scorer!

[@sals79]

@@creepyrobsta5509 i said AROUND 100 points.

[@andrewbennett7610]

What if it’s not a contender, what if it’s Chicago wanting to pair Marner with Bedard? Their 2nd overall pick and either Nazar Korchinski, the leafs can then trade any 2 of those 3 pieces for roster players in the $4-5mil range…

[@lordrayden3045]

Oh that’s hilarious Why in the hell would Chicago give up anything of value ? They can wait a year and get him for just money 2nd overall pick ………. 🤡

[@lordrayden3045]

Chicago can eat the salary, But you’re getting Seth jones back Miner for jones straight up

[@andrewbennett7610]

Oh I see where you’re coming from, the rest of the league and the Leafs will just wait and do nothing for a year so Chicago can have Marner as a free agent, because that’s how it all works! Dickhead

[@oliverquach9614]

Chicago is still in tank mode

You can have ONE defenseman. Hague stays in Vegas!!!!

[@robertamaral907]

Can't domi play center?

[@alexleblanc5926]

He can and looked really good there at points in the playoffs, but if they do move on from Marner he's probably their best playmaker. Keefe was playing him on the wing with Matthews quite a bit, guess we'll see how Berube sees it.

[@stevenightfall6634]

I would say that Dangle and Jesse lost their minds, but I really don't think there was anything there to begin with...

[@flannelfield5255]

there's only 2 possibilities they are st.louis for binnington or Nashville for saros...

[@mattbcameron]

Honestly wish Bruins could afford him.

[@rickyaz8640]

Leafs don’t have time for draft picks to develop, Jesse’s right. Players and cap space, that is it. AIM for Vince Dunn. That’s the target

[@krakenspectacor]

What about Seattle? /adam continues to talk over everyone

[@kebecois71]

Andersen, Xhekaj and 3nd for marner

[@brianlowe3831]

I know it would never happen. Im not dilusional. I get it haha. But man. I would love to see a line of marner Nazar and Bedard

[@GutterTierGod]

Just as a fan of Hockey and being a biased Canadian I would love too see Marner somehow make his way to Edmonto he's far away from us and we get to watch him light the league up with McDavid and Draisaitl

[@MrFreeth26]

Marner for Nurse, Holloway, 2025 1st Rd Pick. Hahaha the Toronto Meeeeeedia would have a breakdown.

[@Michael-pg7rv]

I would do Marner for Theodore and a 2nd + 3rd round picks

[@Michael-pg7rv]

Alternative trade: Marner and Robertson for Theodore (20% retained) and a 1st + 2nd round picks

[@MrWs8791]

​@Michael-pg7rv vegas dosnt have a 1st rounder till 2027, don't think Toronto wants to wait that long for the pick.

[@user-mt4ks4su3m]

Would never happen

[@stephenkocot4119]

Carolina trades Necas for Mariner.

[@dhunter1133]

Jake Guentzel is better than Mitch, actually does stuff in the playoffs, and is a UFA costing no trade assets. Discuss why Mitch isn't the consolation prize.

[@user-mt4ks4su3m]

That's sentence made me sick to my stomach

[@nm3724]

why would klingberg sign a 775,000 in toronto?

[@Kyle-kt9qr]

Buffalo, Toronto gets 1 of Byram or Power plus

[@andrewlittle6097]

Trade Mathews ! For Kempe byfield and Clarke Throw some LA picks and send Robertson and Liligren with him. 13.25 is cap flexibility.

[@ritahoman5364]

Why would Vegas want a player who gets lost in the playoffs and wants a boatload of money he doesn't earn. Besides, we're not paying him more than Jack or Mark. Besides, you don't want his contract either, why should another team want to gamble by putting all in on a reg season player

[@Workingman22]

I'm gonna laugh if Marner doesn't go anywhere and is still a Leaf. 😂

Start laughing.

Not happening. Keep paying more attention to the leafs then your favorite team tho that's cute

Marner has not waived his no-movement clause. Did i miss something? Colorado would never trade for Marner…as producer Drew well knows.

also, it owuld be funny if marner got traded to Jersey to play under Keefe again
