Proposal: Toronto-Washington

[895]

To Toronto
Tom Wilson


To Washington
Mitch Marner

No retention.

Toronto gets a big mean forward who plays hard and some cap space. Wilson could also probably be the next captain.

Washington gets a guy to help Ovechkin hit 895 and a real first line forward.

Marner gets a low pressure environment and a chance to go down in the history books being the guy who sets up 895

Tom Wilson gets to go home.

Win win win win?

Tom wilson is ass

OV will get the record in ~100 games

Caps will be rebuilding for another 3-5 years

Marner will go somewhere elese

 

[Ledge And Dairy]

Not sure how this helps either team.

Ovi doesn't need Marner to set the record at this point and Toronto needs to address either defense or goaltending in any Marner deal

 

[hurdemz]

Take marners NTC out of the equation, if he's moved, it will be to help leafs atrocious blue line.

 

[hockeykicker]

Why in the world would Washington do this? Marner won't resign in Washington so it's just a random one year and bolt

 

[Habsrule]

I understand your rationale with the trade and that part makes send. Problem is the Leafs need defence way more than they need forwards.

I mean, it gets Washington out of the Tom Wilson contract.

Still every NHL team would want a guy like Wilson

Not sure anyone wants him at 34, 35, 36 though...

True enough but he might be the type of guy to go on LITR or retire before then.

Treliving just signed a 37 year old tough guy to a 3 year contract. Don't act like logic impacts his decisions.
