Marner trade ADB comp
After traipsing lackadaisically behind David Pastrnak on the playoff-series-clinching goal (who would have thought that every play in overtime of a Game 7 could be critical?), I think that Marner is permanently removed from Selke Trophy consideration, but that's just me, especially since I get to see every game Anze Kopitar and the undersung Phillip Danault play.
I think that Marner is unlikely to realize the return he might otherwise deserve because most teams will be reluctant to invest in him given his negotiation history and anticipated price tag. And while acquiring Mitch Marner might well be the big splash the new Utah owner wants to make out of the gate, Smith isn't likely to risk it being a big belly-flop, so he'll be looking for favorable terms. I don't think that you're getting their 2024 first in any Marner deal, and I posted what I think is a realistic trade for him two days ago.

Meat and Quackers
Okay, let's all stop the nonsense. The New Jersey first alone is more than Gibson is worth. Anaheim isn't about to retain 50% on Gibson. So the issues are (1) is Gibson for Holtz and Marino fair, and (2) if not, what would New Jersey add for either one of them alone for Gibby? Personally, the answer to (1) is No. The answer to (2) is I don't think that the Devils should give up on Holtz this early because he really could turn out to be the top-6 RW he was drafted to be, whereas Marino is more or less a known quantity by now. So my feeling is that Gibson without retention for Marino and the 2025 Winnipeg second that New Jersey owns is a fair exchange.
By the way, we're not giving up Zegras, Carlsson or McTavish.

All 6 teams decline, some more vociferously than others.
Toronto fans have to <strong>stop</strong> with the Marner-to-cap-stressed-Los-Angeles trades and Buchnevich-Parayko-for-cheese trades. Wildly unrealistic fantasies are embarrassing for the fanbase. You know that these moves are impossible when the only ACGM posted by a Los Angeles fan trading for Marner sends DuBois back the other way and the only ACGM posted by a St. Louis fan trading you Buchnevich is for Marner one-for-one.

Stammer For Fun
Marner trades are speculative to the point of mootness because we can't tell, and nobody knows, whether we're getting one season of Mitch Marner or seven, so this is idle and meaningless conjecture.
Anaheim projects that five of the top 6 forward positions are set for the near future: Zegras and Gauthier at LW, Carlsson and McTavish at C, and Terry at RW. Marner would obviously be a nice sixth, but we've seen absolutely no reason to believe that he would sign a long-term contract in Southern California. One season of Marner does us no good because there's no chance that adding him would make the Ducks a playoff team in 2025 -- the Ducks finished TWENTY GAMES out of the playoffs this year, and Mitch isn't going to overcome that.
That offer wouldn't be enough to rent Rasmus Andersson at the trade deadline, and he has not one but two seasons left on his deal.

As my esteemed friend <a href="/users/Robinho3799" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@Robinho3799</a> intimates, because Akil Thomas is right-handed and has some nice skills, he may have a place on the Kings roster next season as #4RW if Trevor Lewis finally retires. Los Angeles would probably happily substitute Arthur Kaliyev here. I think that Patrick Roy is the perfect coach to unlock Kaliyev's potential.

As a Kings fan, I think that Barron is probably an overpay for Kaliyev, who is in the team's doghouse. What that first is doing in there, I have no idea.

In Danny B we trust
Well, I can certainly see why you'd trust in Danny B if he could pull off that awful trade with Anaheim: let's see, Zegras has 154 points in 211 games while Farabee has 28 more points (a total of 182) in a whopping <strong>123 more games</strong>, and isn't much better defensively . . . Farabee is under team control for four more seasons while Zegras, who's a year younger, is under team control for anywhere from 4 to 10 more seasons (his current contract expires while he's still a RFA) . . . yeah, they're as comparable as a fart and an orgasm.

PIT Blockbuster
Gavrikov has an absolute NMC, so take him and Rakell out. With Anderson, Gavrikov, Englund and Moverare, there's no need for a 5th LD, so take Ludvig out, too. Take Skjei out because he's a luxury, not a necessity, and now we can afford Dakota Joshua at a more realistic price AND re-sign Viktor Arvidsson. We'll add Kaliyev and simplify matters.

I don't think that Zegras is on the market, at all. We'll all find out at the draft, because a high 2024 pick would almost certainly be involved.
I don't think that you'd have to pay to move Ristolainen per se, but it would up the ante on a Zegras deal. So that if one occurred, it would probably be Foerster plus Ristolainen plus your own first, or the Vegas first if you were to obtain it.
Since it's pick #36, I'll lay heavy odds that Columbus reclaims its 2024 second.

Los Angeles isn't paying that price for a rental because one season of Jakob Chychrun won't cure the Kings' problems, especially when it blows up the budget. Los Angeles can't afford Chychrun unless you take DuBois back the other way.

A realistic marner trade
By definition, <strong>any</strong> proposed Marner trade is unrealistic because we don't know which state of reality exists since the difference between Marner on an expiring contract and Marner with a long-term extension is the difference between a fart and a hurricane.
By the way, your entire premise is wrong: Anaheim is within $13 million of the projected cap floor right now and has only 17 players on the roster, so the Ducks won't have any trouble reaching the cap floor.

A top 4 rhd prospect
And a already established top 6 lhd</div></div>
You really shouldn't make embarrassingly uninformed statements like this because it betrays how little you understand about Trevor Zegras.
We don't want "5 firsts" for Zegras. We want quality over quantity. Anaheim wouldn't trade for a single one of those players independently. You cannot construct even remotely intelligent trades without knowing the other team's needs. The Ducks have better prospects than Farrell and Heineman in the system and Harris is utterly redundant in light of the 5 NHL-experienced LhDs already under team control for next season.
Our position has always been consistent and remains clear, and pretty simple, too: a high-quality prospect like Beck or Mesar to hedge the risk of accepting a draft pick for a proven player, and a top-10 first-round draft pick, not some agglomeration of lower-value choices like the Winnipeg and Calgary/Florida picks. Two elements, two firsts -- the same return that you would ask for the entirely comparable Cole Caufield.

Ducks - 2024-25 - Off Season
I love Frankie V, but I can't imagine NY giving us both Cuylle and a first for him even if we were to retain 50%.
You should have used the Team Description to make it clear that you just don't want to guess what a proper value for Spencer Knight is, because he'll cost something inasmuch as his rehab year in the AHL seems to have gone pretty well.
The New Jersey deal depends upon what the Devils think about Bastian. (I certainly dont know enough about him.). If they treat him as a throw-in/cap casualty, then that deal makes sense.
I'm keeping McTavish at center and moving Zegras to the wing.
The rest of this is pretty darn good. Go Ducks!

Realistic Marner trade
Utterly unrealistic to think that Anaheim is going to make the same mistake Toronto made, of trying to construct a winning roster from the top down.
Anaheim is assembling a core of complementary assets. Toronto has assembled a core of big-ticket assets whose cost and value precludes supporting them with sufficiently complementary players to win in the playoffs. Good luck.in the future.
