Thread: Doughty time
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>So even if Drew waives his NMC, we're going to add Trevor Moore to this deal because Kampf and the $1 million retention <strong>adds</strong> to our cap burden?

I don't think so.

I don't think that Los Angeles would do this if you took Moore, the retention and Kampf out of it.</div></div>

Take it all out and look at the headliners. A 27 year old Marner who absolutely would come with an extension (why would he waive for a trade and not want a contract?) for a soon to be 35 year old Doughty.

This site is so broken and fans are gonzo these days. Why on earth would anyone ever trade a 27 year old super star for a 35 year old who's best days are well behind him. Doughty is still good but he's not what he was 8 years ago. And that is how many years older he is than Marner.

Thread: full marner trade idea
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MitchJr</b></div><div>Calle Jarnkrok has produced at a higher rate (points / 60, 5v5) than Batherson over the past two years. Is he a top 6 winger?
Batherson scored 8 5v5 goals in 22-23 &amp; 21 in 23-24 playing top 6 minutes; Jarnkrok scored 27 in same timeframe playing less games and less minutes. no thanks to that production at $5M.
Pointless argument - we’re not going to agree; every player on the SENs is overrated by their fans; team consistently misses playoffs year after year but their players are fantastic🤷🏻.
I am confident stating (&amp; would bet money) that Marner does not waive for Ottawa (big step down in terms of organization, team and fanbase) &amp; I don’t see Leafs moving him in division.</div></div>

I would hope for better than Batherson but this is far and away one of the best I have seen on this site. I would want something else but this isn't terrible. I just get annoyed with the 1 year argument Its so dumb. He absolutely is going to want to sign where he waives to go. Why would he waive to be traded to a city he doesn't want to sign in? Its ridiculous. So if he gets traded it will likely come with an extension, perhaps an 8 year one, so it would be 9 seasons of Marner, not 1. And that has absolutely immense value.
