Proposal: Toronto-Islanders

[Pure Slaughter Value]

I also believe he’s the best D prospect in the league. BUT when acquiring a piece like Marner you’d need to give up a lot to acquire him like a near Eric Lindros amount.

Marner's not worth it, he's not a center! <taken from the Marner Mega Thread part 534>

 

[All Mod Cons]

That's a bit yucky. I'd imagine 20 odd teams would propose a significantly better trade proposal for Marner

 

[Sniper99]

Terrible for Toronto.

Marner is the best player and a star but this is a no from tHe isles.

Mayfield has an absolute steal of a contract and is a huge mean right handed defensive dman who skates pretty good and can play big minutes if need be.

Dobson is the Crown jewel of the isles. He’s the closest thing as a prospect to Alex Pietrangelo/Seth Jones. He’s a big, great skating right handed defenseman with off the charts IQ and an understanding of how to play defense. He’s the best isles defensive prospect since Berard.

People love to live in the what have you done for me lately so from a far they're down on Wahlstrom a bit. His “bad” season at BC was overblown imo and deserves some context. BC wasn’t great offensively and Wahlstrom absolutely hated school and didn’t want anything to do with school. As soon as he signed his ELC he looks excellent in the AHL as an 18 and produced at a decent clip, albeit a small sample size. Wahlstroms shot is flat out ridiculous and I expect a bounce back year from this US development programs prolific scorer.



Marner is an elite player and could make the isles bette offensively. The problem is the isles are deepest at wing. The 2 biggest needs are another star/top6 center and a top pairing defensman.

Dobson, while still just a prospect gives us the best shot at having a top pairing defenseman. Right handed defenseman carry more value than left handed defenseman.


No disrespect to Marner because he may be worth a package like that but it doesn’t make sense from
The isles.

I understand why the isles would want to keep their players, just wanted to add that Marner is also very good defensively as well.

I know he is! I was shocked when I saw him killing penalties last year and he was good at it. That’s a big plus.

Over the life of his next contract, Marner will be one of the top 10 players in the NHL. Maybe top 5.

 

[Pyrophorus]

Ceci just got to Toronto and you guys are already trying to get rid of him?

He will play for the Leafs this one year, but how many games does he play?

 

[Sparksrus3]

I’ll never get over that. If we were going for a Brother Wayne Primeau would have been a better choice lol he at least had a real career.

Not like our Monty Trottier selection. A little side note some might not realize is that another brother Rocky Trottier was picked 8th overall in the first round and also was the Devils first ever draft pick .

LGI

Agree in general, but Lindros was a rookie on an entry contract, not a player who they have to sign for the second highest salary in the league.

I could be wrong but they didn't have ELC in 1992(that is a fact) and I believe he signed for like 5M which was one of the top salaries at the time

 

[boredmale]

On a side note I am not getting into this conversation BUT if the Islanders did trade for Marner, my guess is Bailey would be part of the package both to free up capspace and give the Leafs a forward who can generate some of Marner's offence

 

[TheScandal89]

Here comes another ( insert any of 30 teams) vs Laffs thread. Marner is great but no from NYI

It's been the Islanders mainly this summer imo, and I guess deservedly so.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Idk why Toronto would do that

They have a team to compete right now , not in 5 years

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Guess who Brett Lindros played junior for?

 

[bukwas]

Isn't that most HF proposals?

But i think most of those are accidental.

As for the trade, obviously the Leafs pass.

 

[miscs75]

As much as I love Dobson this is a big no from the leafs POV

Toronto- Mitch Marner, Cody Ceci and 2019 2nd round pick

New York- Noah Dobson, Ryan Pulock And 1st 2020

Any more bad contracts you want to unload in addition to Ceci while you’re at it? Isles aren’t moving Dobson or Pulock even if the return was Marner. Leddy and Hickey are available though.

When you say compete do you mean qualify for the playoffs ? Springtime in Toronto is all about round ball. At least the OP was addressing the D.

Not for Marner, they aren't. Starts with pulock and then keep going

Yeah,with all that "D" your resident genius brought in,we're not giving you 2 RD's....I'll keep Pulock and swap in Andrew Ladd....

I highly doubt the Isles would handcuff the blueline to trade for Marner. That's literally taking 3 steps back to take 1 step forward. I can see Wilde and Wahlstrom plus picks go before they trade off Pulock/Dobson/Pelech/Mayfield/Toews.

 

[Phil120362]

because after all,Marners so good he can pass to himself in all 3 forward positions,I propose Lamorello for Dubas and a 2020 1st....

 

[Mickey Marner]

Horrendous.

I propose Brent Thompson and Garth Snow (since he's on the payroll still) for Sheldon Keefe and future considerations.

That's a NYI fan that's not a true Leaf fan
