Nik the Trik said:A fun idea, just as a thought experiment, is Marner to NJD for Hall(assuming a reasonable extension can be worked out) and a good D prospect or something.
CarltonTheBear said:Yeah, I've seen that idea thrown around before. It's interesting. What would you consider a "reasonable" contract though? A Tavares-Panarin type deal or something with a bit more of a discount?

Well, no deal has been signed so we'll have to see (and none of the other forwards have signed either). Until that happens, it's all just speculation and unsubstantiated rumors.
In the meantime, I think it would be fun to throw out Marner trade proposals. I can start with one you can shoot down: Kotkaniemi and Petry for Marner. Speculate away.
How is your day going JFJ?

Haha mostly joking. But that one's a stinger hey.

It wouldn't be my first choice either but I think the reason it's sort of getting kicked around is that it actually sort of solves actual issues. Unlike, say, something like Marner for Laine this isn't just swapping two problems that would still exist for those teams/players just in different locales. Hall would get to go to a contender where he isn't asked to do it all himself and Marner could get the huge deal he wants with a team with a lot of cap space.
And I think that at least part of Marner's age advantage is mitigated slightly by the fact that he only wants to sign for 5 years or so anyway.

I will resurface my proposal to Columbus, who has oodles of cap space and no one to spend it on.
To CBJ: Marner, Ceci + 50% retained (hey!)
To Tor: Jones, Anderson (another Ferris client), 2020 1st

A very fine suggestion. Though teams have a tendency to want to hold on to their own stars. Won?t they want to hold on to Jones?

I like Marner a lot but I'm in love, deeply, with Seth Jones. I'm all over this. That trade would put the Leafs over the top.

CarltonTheBear said:I'm not so sure that Columbus would trade Jones for Marner straight up, so them adding to the deal probably wouldn't work.

Again with the rookie bonuses... I hope Dubas just gives them to every prospect from here on out.
