Thread: Armchair-GM for the Hawks
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Garak</b></div><div>Maybe. But most of those teams don't have the need, the cap space, or both. But, yeah, I personally think the most realistic landing spots for him would be UHC, DET, OTT, BUF, or MTL. And all of those teams would require cap out, which would also probably necessitate an adjustment of the value going both ways and skew the perceived value while the actual value might not be as good as you think.

Also, I would assume that TOR would prefer win-now pieces over high picks anyway.</div></div>

Agreed They need D or G that can step in right away. I think the best fit is a trade with NASH for Saros.

But I think the Leaf's need to sit down with MM on July 1st and ask him Does he want to be a Leaf? if so he needs to talk a home town discount as they can not afford to pay him over $10M if not give us a list and lets see what we can do

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Garak</b></div><div>Hitting his prime? He is already well into his prime and he will be 28 when his extension comes due. At which point CHI will still be nowhere near ready to even join the playoff picture, let alone be a true contender. We would squander what is left of his prime and he would likely become a burden in the last few years of his contract.</div></div>

He just turned 27 last week and NHL players are typically in their prime from 26-30. so my statement about him hitting his prime is accurate.

I never said it made any sense for the hawks but Marner is worth more than that.

IF the 2nd overall pick was to become as good a Marner Chicago would be thrilled. But there is a lot of risk and very little guarantee that he would become anything close to that good.

IF MM waived his NMC to go to a team you can bet that the team has a good idea of what he wants in an extension and that both sides are willing to make it work. so its not even just a 1 year deal.

Thread: Tell Me Your Trade Ideas For Marner
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>squashmaple</b></div><div>Buddy, no one hates the Leafs half as much as Leafs fans do. No one else cares.</div></div>

Have you read the this board? they hate the Leaf's and I get it We have the biggest fan base and with that comes many different views and degree of knowledge. not to mention the trolls that pretend to be Leaf fans to get everyone going. As a Leaf fan it can get annoying seeing all the Leaf's posts

But if you post a realistic post on here you tend to get 0 comments. As soon as you post something people disagree with you get lots of comments

Most people have no idea what the value of a player is. They get post a few times until people stop crying about their post

All prospects are like trading McDavid and 1st round picks is like giving about your first born on this board

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>lolo205</b></div><div>The reason people don't want Marner is because of posters like yourself who actually think Marner is worth another teams 1c Like Eriksson Ek whose never getting Moved. Brodin is considered to be Minnesota 1 or 2d, but one of the best Shutdown Dman in the NHl with complete NMC, So, before posting things like this, consider other teams need and maybe don't be surprised if other react to it</div></div>

1st this is not my AGM What did I say in my post that was wrong?
2nd TOO Many people take this site to seriously some people just enjoy posting different scenarios and discussing the possibility and view points to LEARN other teams needs.
3rd The reason people on this form don't want Marner is because they are LEAF haters cause its easy to ignore their posts but they all flock to add their meaningless post with nothing constructive to add.
