I don't think there's a single case where players of that magnitude are dumped off, and then sign back a couple of months later in the prime of their careers. Trying to run Ned as a number 1 with no backup is just asking for trouble. All this work, and still over the cap. Meh.

the penguins aren't trading Pickering for that.
They wouldn't pay jake they aren't going to pay Marner.

Besides you are trading for the wrong player.
Matthews missed games 5 and 6 and TOR won. He comes back for game 7.... Loss.
Clearly TOR needs to trade Matthews.
