I mentioned it elsewhere that had the Sharks trading for Marner. It doesn't make sense at all to give up significant assets for a one year rental on a guy who likely won't re-sign with you when you're in a rebuild. If GMMG gave up pick 14 and Musty, finished bottom 5ish in the league next year, and Marner walked then he would have earned being fired. The only way it would make sense is if the price to acquire him is less than the value you can get to flip him at the TDL, but that's unlikely to be the case.
Edit: Also, despite his friendship with Patty, I don't see any scenario where he waives his NMC to come to San Jose.
