Preds pass. If Marner was a center, maybe. Trotz came in and got rid of fancy players who don't perform when it's needed, he won't take one for our most full position.

NMC and Marner dictating where he would go massively lowering his trade value aside I think Saros and the 2nd would get a deal done, Lauzon and Evangelista is too much.

Swapping one potential franchise player for another potential franchise player is fair enough value. I'm not saying Marner or Saros are franchise players but they are literally as close as a player could be without getting there.

As a Hawks fan. I'd do this. Send Reaves and Timmins to Rockford. Timmy could be nice. We don't have a lot in the farm system for RD.

Yet again, no. Marner does not play center.
