Proposal: Drasaitil and Larsson for Marner +

[TSN Jdog]

Marner, Mitchell ($894,167)
Bracco, Jeremy ($842,500)
Nielsen, Andrew ($697,500)
Martin, Matt ($2,500,000)


Draisaitl, Leon ($8,500,000)
Larsson, Adam ($4,166,667)

Oilers get the top line RW for McDavid and a tough guy who can help on the 4th line plus some good prospects to help there cap problems and the Leafs get a good 2nd line center who can play 1st line if Matthews gets hurt plus a good shutdown defender to help play with Rielly

I say no from Toronto. Edmonton says no faster. Marner and Drai are probably a wash, Marner with more value at the moment because he still has another ELC year. Larsson for the rest is just bad.

From Toronto's perspective, adding 13 million without bringing in a top pairing D would hurt them long term.

 

[MMC]

So the Leafs have Draisaitl, Matthews, Kadri and possibly Nylander at center and possible Nylander, Brown, Kapanen, and Grundstrom on RW? Sounds terrible.

 

[stl76]

Just AWFUL for Edmonton. Woof.

 

[Nostradumbass]

Not a f***ing chance.

 

[A91]

lmfao

 

[Lights911]

Not a chance

I was expecting a good laugh when I read the title, but this isn't funny it's just sad.

 

[Digitalbooya]

Edmonton says hell no.

 

[voxel]

Just had to thrown in Matt Martin, didn't you? That's the dealbreaker

One of these is correct...the other one is dead wrong.

Leafs take this and run.

 

[rent free]

Very bad for the oilers

 

[Owen Doty]

As a flames fan, this is awful for the oilers. yeesh

 

[Oilers Propagandist]

Lol... You sure you're not O'Dogg?
Looks like the type of majestic educated guess he would grace all of us with.

 

[bluedevil58]

Lol wow. Terrible trade.

 

[Vancouver Canucks]

Valuewise, it isn't too bad, but Oilers desperately need a better defenseman, so I'll say, "No", to this deal.

 

[McAsuno]

Edmonton says hell no.

 

[McJesusSaves97]

Would not do it for just Drai, but Larsson 2?

 

[Albus Dumbledore]

Marner and drai aside(who have similar value)

Larsson for 2 b prospects and a negative player in Martin.... That's pretty f***ing bad.

 

[haveandare]

Oilers lose a great forward and good d-man and get back a great forward and some meh pieces. I don't see why Oilers would do this.

Also don't really see why Toronto would benefit from Drai in terms of their cap structure - he'd be an insanely expensive 2C.

 

[McAsuno]

Lol... You sure you're not O'Dogg?
Looks like the type of majestic educated guess he would grace all of us with.

Let's be real.. O'Homer wouldn't even trade 'generational' Auston Matthews for Connor McDavid.

I think a polite no from the oilers rather quickly

several problems
1) Bracco Nielson has not played a game in the nhl yet
2) Matt Martin is a 3rd/4th liner

this trade creates two holes on the oilers roster

1) RHD--we already have a problem
2) Nuge is clicking with McDavid very nicely so no need to move him back to 2C
not going to engage leaf fans on their prospects because every fan base can make a case for 4 or 5 of their prospects being ready for the nhl and how the other fan bases are underrating the other teams prospects

But I do feel the need to point out Martin has been a healthy scratch for the leafs so far and some could make a case that hurts him having any real value

 

[King1s]

Haha. Ahahaha. Hahahahaha.


No.

 

[King1s]

I think a counteroffer would make more sense.


Matthews
Rielly

For

Draisaitl
Bear
Slepyshev
Russell


That sounds a lot better.

I bet the Leafs fans will ask for McDavid in exchange for Matthews.
