OTT: Marner (10x8) & Robertson
TOR: Chychrun & BOS 1st OR OTT 2nd
that’s what the deal would be, that’s fair, TOR definitely isn’t looking to move McCabe if they’re tryna compete still
I also don’t think Norris will be out all year, I’d use him in a trade as a piece to get Ullmark or Saros, Korpisalo goes to another team, you need to add obviously, I also wonder how Korpisalo would do with this new D core
I do think Norris will be out all season. This is his 3rd surgery in 4 years!!! I think he takes the whole year to properly rehab and build the strength. If that shoulder goes on him again? His career is done 100%. People need to get away from a Marner trade being relatively fair. The tradegrounds are not on a level playing field for the deal to be fair. Why do people think like this? GM 's are ruthless.... In any deal for Marner? It starts with say Ottawa in this case.....with their boot on Toronto's throat.
1) If Toronto is dealing with Ottawa....or any particular team? It's because they are one of maybe two teams the Leafs are allowed to deal with.
2) Marner has a full NMC so there is no going somewhere else if they don't like Ottawa's offer.
3) Yes Chychrun had a down year and everyone knows Ottawa is going to move him....But Ottawa isn't dealing with a NMC. Think Ottawa fans.... Do you think Staios found a 3rd and 4th rounder fair for Tank?
4) Marner is not a playoff player, with 7 post seasons of average production at best. $11M for a player that helps you get to the playoffs? Teams will say we can find cheaper.
5) Marner in the 2nd half was seperated from Matthews.... He didn't fare to well. Every other GM knows their team doesn't have a guy wgo scored 69 goals. $12M is a steep ask for a player that might not be able to produce 90 points without such a scorer on his line.
Lastly.....Sens fans??? FAIR???? Imagine the Erik Karklsson trade? How good does that deal look if SJ didn;t **** the bed in 2020? Norris would've been the only decent piece left. Does anyone in their right minds think Marner today is as valuable as Karlsson was when we moved him to SJ? Not a chance... a RHD with 2 Norris Trophies to his name? So think how does Marner with a full NMC get more than what Ottawa got for Karlsson? Leverage is key and Toronto has absolutely none.
