Do the Leafs trade Marner this summer if they're out in Round 1?

[57special]

Even if he decides to allow a trade(doubtful, and certainly narrows down the potential trade partners), I don't think he will have much trade value. Seems bizarre to say, but an 11m for one year who will probably want a raise in his next contract, has zero toughness, and is not known for being effective in the post season is not something GM's will be lining up for.

I am not saying he is a bad player, at all. He is a very talented regular season offensive player. He just was rewarded with a huge contract way too early in his career and it has severely affected perceptions about him and his worth.

 

[leafsfan5]

We can't deal him, he has a NMC and controls his fate

The reality is Toronto will keep the big 3 (Matthews, Nylander, Marner), let Tavares' contract expire and start the second phase of the Matthews era. For better or for worse, they are not being traded

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

If Leafs are out in round 1, Shanahan and Keefe need to be gone. Play out next season and let the new regime decide how to move forward with Tavares and Marner off the books.

Or trade Marner in the offseason and get a return.

If the team doesn't win something (at least make it to the Conference Final), it's time (in fact, it's too late) to blow it up. Just do it because last night was a disgrace and I don't care about seasonal stats.

 

[GCK]

There is no way in hell Paul Marner is waiving Mitchell’s NMC.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

no, they have already proven they can win without Mr Softie

he's goign to want in the neighborhood of $12 mill--more lol

What's the Leafs record without Marner in the lineup? I know it's good.

 

[Fatass]

LMAO

that's a good one. Dont trade the softie, non-playoff performer just in case he wins a Cup elsewhere

good grief.

dee stinks...he does NADA in the playoffs and will want 12 mill. Change course


rememeber the Habs series a few yrs back--that was the Leafs' red flag. So gutless. In Game 7 he was Casper the friendly ghost

Kessel was Ppg plus 17 in Pens two Cups. He was very important in both those Championships. Marner is a guy who would very likely do similar if traded to a team that was on the cusp. And his contract NMC allows him to pretty much pick where he goes.

 

[Fatass]

excellent defensively too. He’s a Selke candidate pretty much every year. IMO the Leafs would take a step backwards moving MM.

 

[Sniper99]

would be better to wait and trade tavares

Hes not waiving!!! Hes a Toronna boy till death. and I cant see Marner getting moved either.

 

[GCK]

They can’t speak to Marner about waiving until September. As soon as the playoffs start he disappears until training camp.

 

[canuckslover10]

eh if they know they aren't going to re-sign him maybe he would want to get ahead of it and go to a team he can sign to.

What would you trade from the Bruins for Marner. Not saying he's not a proven top line player, but at 11 million, teams need to juggle the roster to make him a fit.

 

[General Fanager]

they cant anyways

Of course. I'm not saying it will be easy but if we don't do something this year, it's time.

 

[Pukboy5kroner]

So Huberdeau and a pick for Marner? Assuming either waive nmcs.

 

[wetcoast]

Idk, I think they’d definitely be able to find a trade partner if they were so inclined

Like which team and what's going back and does it fit under the cap?

 

[ORRFForever]

I don't know. I really don't. It's a mess given the NMC.

It's one of those situations where I don't think the Leafs get better in a trade. At least immediately. And I think Hubey would be great with Matthews, but doubt that solves the problems that would make them want to trade Marner

I don't see a scenario where the Leafs win the trade. Matthews and Marner are simply too good. For that reason, once the dust settles, I doubt they get traded.

 

[eviohh26]

They need Tavares and Marner off that team asap. 1 More year. Get some depth players and defense. Find some players that give a f***.

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

Voted 'doesn't matter.'

Because it doesn't.

 

[Connor MethDavid]

You fire Keefe, then when the time comes you let Marner walk if you can't trade him. You only resign Tavares at $4M AAV or less. You use Tavares' remaining $7M to chase a new 2C, and Marners' cap hit for a proper, top-pairing D. Then you still have $3M to spare.

 

[haveandare]

Crazy idea but maybe get a reliable goalie if you want to win

 

[NVious]

All 3 of them should be on the market if they fail again.

 

[KevinRedkey]

This entirely depends on how they lose. If Marner is by far their best player, and puts up 14pts in 7 games, then I doubt he's on the chopping block. The opposite can be said if they get swept and he has 0pts and is a -7.

We'll see how it plays out.
