Gotcha. I was curious on a potential Gustavsson+ for Marino swap, but it doesn't make sense if Marino is needed for another year or two.
Yeah, from my view
NJD needs marino this year at the very least. He is our best shutdown dman, casey isn't ready.
Coming off a down year, combined with the very good available RHD market this free agency, would mean Marino has lower value than he should.
I'd expect Marino's value to be higher this time next year following a bounceback, and/or because of a much weaker RHD free agent class.
So just no real reason for NJD to move Marino this year. Next offseason however, call us
In conclusion
Last offseason: probably was available (resign Severson)
This offseason: probably unavailable
Next offseason: probably will be available (Casey replaces)
