Hey OP, let me float this one on ya.
To TOR
Markstrom, Mangiapane, Andersson
To CGY
Marner, Liljegren, 2024 1st.
Calgary last time I checked is one of the oldest teams in the league, if not the oldest team. They're also not cup-competitive and would be wise to blow it up and rebuild soon. With all of that in mind, do you think they're willing to extend Marner for big money and pay all three of Huberdeau, Kadri and Marner for the next 5+ years to miss the playoffs every year as Huberdeau and Kadri start declining? If they don't want to extend Marner, acquiring him for their non-existant playoff run for 1 year makes no sense either.
Nope. Check again. We're a lot younger than we were at the beginning of the season and will be a lot younger again to start next season.
We're re-tooling, not re-building.
And at the end of the day, the Leafs only played 7 more games than us.
