Proposal: Edmonton - Toronto

[Lays]

Obviously Marner is the better player and younger but... Its kind of funny that Leafs fans say a quick no thanks. The picks are very valuable to either team. Edmonton giving up picks and bringing back more salary is never going to happen.

This deal is worse for Edmonton than the Leafs. I have a feeling the Leafs management would do this trade in a heartbeat if there cap situation is as bad as I think it will be.

So if the Leafs are in a bad cap situation they jump all over a 3C making 6 million?

Those picks aren't close to balancing off RNH's terrible contract, especially when the Leaf's have a bunch of tough contracts coming up.

If the Oilers want to move Nuge they're going to have to eat salary or take a poor contract back. As long as RNH is a straight 6 million I can't see too many teams having an interest in him.

That Oilers Cap situation looks pretty bad TBH. Here take a 1st round pick and Matt Martin and we'll take Puljujarvi off your hands so he doesn't add to the cap issues in 3 years.

This is how your post reads.

Nudge gets paid like 4.5+ more than Marner for the next 2 seasons.... In what world does this help their cap situation? They have enough players coming off the books in the next 2 years to sign the big 3 without too much trouble. They aren't trading Marner for a very late 1st+2nd and a completely un-needed player. Get real

 

[King1s]

Eww no. That's awful for Toronto.

Want Marner? Start with Draisital.

Oh wait he signed for how much?

Nevermind.

Want Draisaitl? Start with adding Matthews to Marner.

Move a 24 year old that has a career high 56 pts for a 20 year old that had 61pts as a 19 year old rookie...lose a late 1st and 2nd but gain oodles of cap space for the next 2 years

How does trading a top line winger on an ELC for a fringe 2C making 6M help the cap sitution?

terrible deal for the leafs, even most oilers fans agree.

alright, toss in mcdavid then.

seriously though. draisaitl isnt even close to as good as matthews. to suggest Matthews + marner for leon is downright silly.

44g/74pts combined reg. season/playoffs
Leon put up 2g/9pts at the same age

Auston>>>Leon

Yep, Matthews put up similar points playing with Brown + Hymen for a large chunk of the season. Imagine him with Matthews --> Hence if they switched teams this wouldn't be even close. Not even mentioning Matthews is a full 2 years younger.. I don't think any sane poster would be arguing this.

It's about as dumb as trying to say Matthews is better than Mcdavid

Nice sales job . I don't think the TML fans are buying it . Even if you believe what you are saying Edmonton makes the deal then trades Marner for a much higher return .

Leon is closer to mathews than mathews is to mcdavid.

Draisaitl is 2 years older, Mcdavid is a year older

19 year old Matthews >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>19 year old Drai

lets see what he does in the next 2 years. im guessing he has accomplished a lot more than drai has at the same age, although you could already make that case (calder, 4g game, nhl record, 1st 40g rookie in a decade, multiple leafs records, most goals as a teenaged rookie in 30+ years)

you are aware your fellow oilers fan wanted matthews + marner for draisaitl correct?

 

[Jumptheshark]

With the Draisaitl signing today it's very likely that RNH will be on the move. So how about a trade benefiting both these teams.

Toronto

RHN
1st 2018
2nd 2018

Edmonton

Marner

RNH needs a change of scenery and I can bet he could easily be a sold 60+ point player under Babcock and Toronto also gains good picks in a deep draft. For Edmonton it's a no brainer, Marner would be magical on the McDavid's wing.

Just a hard no

Actually I would not want that. I'd rather keep Leon.

 

[Atomos2]

Leon is closer to Marner than to Matthews.

Only reason Oilers fans are latching onto the idea that Leon is so superior is because Leon has latched onto McDavid for most of last year.

Matthews>Leon

Marner=Leon

The Leafs don't need a 6 million dollar 4th line center after Mathews, Kadri and eventually Nylander especially at the cost of there best winger

 

[loyaltotheend]

As an Oiler fan who likes RNH the TML take it hard on this one , Are we buying dinner and providing the lube as well ? Do they get a kiss ?

Just terrible . No thought put into this at all .

Sorry TML fans you had to read this . That is 20 seconds of your life gone that you can never get back

Thank you for a reasonable reply. Obviously terrible proposal.

Sadly some on here think the best reply is an equally stupid offer the other way, and turned this thread into exactly what the OP wanted: a fight

Can you just not? What do you think this accomplished? You're just feeding the bad blood which makes it more difficult for civilized discussions.

Obviously the OP is horrendous. Oilers fans know it, and didn't make the thread.

Really bad, nice job.

 

[pheasant]

Leafs fans proposed trades like this for years to other teams fans. Offering way worse players that the other teams don't need, plus some picks, for their star players.

So now Leafs fans shouldn't complain that it's happening back.

 

[Kelly]

Not a chance in hell from the Leafs

 

[StevenB]

If you want Marner, Larsson or Klefbom is going the other way.

Haha, that's not even remotely enticing from the Leafs standpoint.

 

[Paralyzer]

So we are trading RNH, a 1st and a 2nd for Toronto's Love Child? Toronto hard passes that and Edmonton probably can do without Marner as we have our guy in Puljujarvi.
