It was an overreaction to trade Marner like 5 years ago. How many years do we need to see the same result to want to change something? He should have been moved after the Montreal series. And that’s not even picking on him but it was just logical that JT couldn’t go with his no move and multiple years. Nylander had multiple years left at 7 mil so moving him wouldn’t change the cap structure enough.
So it have to be Matthews or Marner so obviously Marner.
But now it’s too late he has a full no move, and value is lower. Ideally he will give a list of teams so you can get something but they would be insane to just resign him. Let him walk if you need too. I rather take a chance that another top player gets to free agency you can go after with that money.
