Leafs Offseason

Isles accept

As much as I don't necessarily want Marner cause it'll be extremely hard to actually build a team around him with his cap, at some point you just have to accept the trade based on value alone and figure it out later. This is probably pretty unrealistic cause I don't see him being moved at all, but I would think he would probably get more from some other team who would be more willing to pay him.

awful value for the Leafs IMO - Pelech is best used as your 2nd/3rd best Dman if you're a contender (so like...good, but not a star); Maggio is a project/upside guy at this point; and Wahlstrom is likely a non-tender. If this is all the Leafs would want, from the Isles I'd take the deal and shop Marner elsewhere to get what he's actually worth from someone else.

I do feel like I undervalued Marner a little bit but at this point I feel like he's going to walk as a UFA next summer and getting Pelech on term was important. Isles don't really have many more premium assets to give other than picks and I didn't really want to add too many high picks because that wouldn't be very realistic

Eh, I don't mind the Kaliyev for Robertson swap, but I'd much rather trade Kaliyev 1-for-1 for Wahlstrom.
