Boeser has more career goals then Marner in 73 fewer games. I get that Gudbranson is in no way ample compensation for Marner, but what incentive is there to trade Boeser for Marner for us?
Gudbranson could be available, but he is our only physical presence. Is Marner available? I don't mean at a "for a huge over payment" kind of available, but has he fallen way way way out of favor so soon?

Remember when Kasperi Kapanen was worth more than Boeser just this summer?

No. Most of us hated the pick, as Virtanen was a consensus choice as 8th or 9th. You're remembering things incorrectly if you think Canucks fans were fawning over Jake (no offense to the guy). I can remember a number of Leafs fans in the Tanev threads telling us Kapanen would be better and was more valuable then Boeser however.

Mr. Woodhull...
I was listening to the broadcast when he said it and it didn’t seem at all like hyperbole to me. He mentioned Gud as a desirable target and said “but that’s gonna cost a good kid like Brown or even Marner”. I felt fairly certain he was being 100% literal and 0% hyperbolic.

Honestly., it seemed to me Don Cherry almost mentioned this trade possibility under his breath when he said it and seemed in between thoughts. I believe he even said "it would cost Marner or something".
Edit: Just listened to it online and he said "We would have to give up Brown or Marner or something like that" in a casual in-between-thought way. The thread title makes it sound like Cherry was gung ho cheer leading this trade. He was stammering his head in an "I don't know" kind a way when he said it.
I think some people just love bashing Cherry for the sake of it. I have made some spur of the moment dim-witted trade suggestions to my buddies at the bar on occasion. No big deal and not thread worthy IMO.

You just lost all credibility with those statements, complete hogwash coming out of your rear end there, I wouldn’t expect anything less though, the magnetic pull from the center of the earth is probably effectingbrain waves.
Cherry just needs to retire already. I'd much rather get to hear more of Ron's thoughts, rather than him having to deal with Don's insane rants.
Lets wait for Gudbranson to get traded for a pile of meh, and then you can say the same thing. Maybe you might even be able to do so with a straight face. I doubt it, but I suppose anything can happen.

I always thought threads got shut down when they went so far off topic? This one seems to be more about bickering over Boeser and his shooting % than anything else.
Regardless, to the oringal point, Gudbranson does not fetch the Canucks Marner straight up, regardless of any regression on Marner's part. I agree with those who've mentioned that Marner has been somewhat sheltered and is not being given huge mins with really good linemates. Everything I read always mentions Leaf fans being pissed he's not being played up in the lineup more but I think the Leafs are bringing him along slowly. I don't think for a second that he's suddenly a 40-50pt player moving forward and would take him on the Canucks in a heartbeat, for the right price (which is not Boeser, at least not today, though the value is likely much closer than a lot of Canucks fans would seem to think).
Gudbranson has value, but not as much as a former 3rd overall dman should have. He's on a "show me" contract, and has failed to show anyone much of anything. If he wasn't a pending UFA, I'd prefer that they keep him as he won't fetch the value he really should, however, it's my opinion that he is much better than what he's shown this year. Maybe it's chemistry with the team or his d partner(s), maybe it's just a bad season, who knows? But he was better than this in Florida at a younger age! Sadly, the Canucks will not get great value for him, but then again, even though they gave up more than they got, McCann really didn't turn out to be a loss so it comes down to a couple picks?

Evaluating Gudbranson and the real value he has to the Leafs.

Didn't Cherry call Gudbranson "Gudbranski" or something like that a couple years ago?
The Leafs would have to have an implosion in every sense of the word before they even entertain the idea of Marner for Gudbranson.
