Maybe not with that goaltending. But it looks like a very strong skater group.

you really over value Lafrenière and there is 0 chance the penguins would move that 1st round pick at this point.</div></div>

I wouldn’t do it in general but I believe this team that I built can win the cup, so I would be willing to give up a lottery pick to win 1 last cup with 87/71.

Thread: Isnt it Ironic

I feel most Bruins fans would rather than DeBrusk over Marner, even if you acquire him he needs to be on the team.

I believe the trade will be Ullmark for Marner straight up, Poitras is probably a dealbreaker.

Thread: Idea I Saw On Twitter

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CaseyFlyman</b></div><div>"instead of using 18 million on 2 players, they invest in 4 solid players that fill different positions of need, all with term"

Why stop there? Instead of using 18 million on 2 players, use it on 10 players; 5 Ryan Reaves and 5 David Kampfs. Insane depth!

I get there's nuance, and I'm not a Toronto fan/Pens fan, and the idea isn't actually bad, but I don't think Pittsburgh is the team to involve here. Graves had a terrible year, he's a good player but I don't know that he ever lives up to that contract. Jarry is a very expensive goaltender with tons of term for extremely average results. Rakell and Smith are solid middle-6 guys, but neither are worth their contracts, and both have term.

Toronto's forward core would still be fine, but now they're lacking more scoring talent and still have obscene question marks at goalie and defense, and no extra cap space to address those issues. If TML are moving Marner, it's got to be for a couple higher-quality pieces that are likely on good deals. The target should be a contending team with a little bit of cap space looking to upgrade the forward group. Detroit, Seattle, St. Louis, Nashville, etc. are all likely better options.</div></div>

Funny enough, Jay Rosehill said in the podcast he would rather have 12 Ryan Reaves than 1 Mitch Marner.

Take that with what you willz

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RipNasty</b></div><div>4 nothing players do not change any culture. This is a terrible trade and you knew exactly this fact.</div></div>

Graves led the NHL in plus/minus twice. He isn’t what we expected him to be but he has pedigree.

Smith is a proven playoff performer, reached 2 finals.

Rakell is a feisty winger with good puck carrying ability.

Jarry is meh, but TOR will be desperate for a goalie.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rags21</b></div><div>If Laffy isn’t that great, then why bother trading for him</div></div>

I mean he won’t be a generational 1OA pick.

He will still project to be a decent top line LW, like Guentzel, and that would be good enough for us.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lancebmx</b></div><div>The classic "give me your good players for my trash" trade</div></div>

Probably from Toronto’s standpoint, it would be a change of culture.

Instead of paying 5 guys 55 million, they’re going to break down the money a bit more, have a bit more of a balanced lineup.

And of course acquiring both Smith & Rakell would send the fans a message that they want guys who perform in the playoffs.

Thread: Cup contenders

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>So basically you've exchanged one season of Marcus Pettersson for one season of Jakob Chychrun and your starting goalie and three prime futures for one season of Mitch Marner.

That doesn't seem like a good long-term plan for making an older team better.</div></div>

Win now, worry about the future later cuz Sid/Geno have 1 year at most.

If they get a fourth cup, that’s all that matters cuz it will prove they have a better legacy than Kane/Toews.

But at the same time I don’t think this team is it. Need a 3C and a 2LD.

You have cap space, keep Pettersson.

Toronto is going through a retool, they wouldn’t want to give up a first especially just to dump a player with only 1 year left.

I feel that is a fair trade cuz the guy is going to demand a massive raise on his next contract and has never hit 60 points.

You’re probably overconfident cuz you swept a non-playoff team in the first round that any team could beat. Getting swept by Carolin in round 2.

IDK, I feel like Marner rarely gets rush chances the past couple of years, mostly it is offence off the cycle. Which he does well in the regular season but not so much in the playoffs cuz of increased physicality.
