He would be a big boost but I would need to see what Raymond and Seider get first before entertaining that thought.
For sure Leafs would want us to take on the full cap hit. Also they would want Berg to be part of the deal.
How do you fix the Wings?

Also They should get Copp, so good defensively
I wish. But it would need to be someone with his cap hit or more to go the other way... which really is only Copp, JT, or Cat. So something like:
To Toronto: Berg + Copp/JT/Cat + 2nd (if Copp or JT is involved)
To Detroit: Marner + another contract
Ideally I would want Marner & Knies. Knies seems like he is gonna develop into a decently skilled power forward, something Wings are sorely lacking in.
To Detroit: Marner + Knies + 2nd
To Toronto: 1st + Berg + Ras + Copp/JT/Cat + maybe something else?

That hasn't stopped most trades and he might feel like a change is needed.

Better to boost your stats next season playing with Matthews and co ahead of the new contract.

Did another armchair gm, I'm bored of the offseason already.
Danielson and Kasper compete for the 3C spot in camp. I think Fabbri and Perron would be decent linemates to bring a young center up to speed. Fabbri has athletic ability and Perron has smarts. If you can't get Kane back you've got an extra $1.489mil to bring in someone else like Toffoli, Tarasenko, or Teravainen. If you go cheaper in net than Broissoit and cheaper on D than Walker maybe you could get Marchessault or Guentzel.

Agreed.
I can't see Yzerman making moves to bring in a winger that will make more than Raymond will on his new contract but competes half as hard.

I'd rather trade for Marner than pay Sam Reinhart a figure for 7 years that is based off of his 2023-24 season when the player he truly is should be something based on his 2022-23 numbers (which was basically the same season he's had for 4 of the past 6 years). 21-22 was a weird year where almost everyone on Florida (except Montour and Verhaeghe) had unrealistic, inflated career offensive seasons. Regardless of any debate you wanna have about that, the point is he's going to get like 10+ million dollars a year and he's nowhere near even remotely worth that.
It's legitimately probably a difference of 3 million dollars per year, and there will be teams dumb enough to do it, so pass. His contract will be the absolute worst in the league within two and a half years.

One other point about Marner that gets overlooked. Despite all of the fluffy Toronto media hot takes about his intangibles, the selective outrage by their fans over nitpicked plays, his tendency to "disappear in the playoffs", etc, his last SIX seasons offensively have all been pretty much exactly the same (1.15ish points per game), regardless of whether he's played on Matthews' line or not. He's a consistently elite 1st line forward season to season. I can live with "disappears in the playoffs" when we haven't been to the playoffs since the fall of f***ing Constantinope.

I agree, tbh. Leafs fans are notorious for singling out one guy. 90 point guys don't grow on trees.
Datsyuk "disappeared in the playoffs" before he didn't.

And nobody thought Eichel was worth the risk. Except that it turns out he was.
And nobody expected Florida to land Tkachuk in a blockbuster. But it happened.
Not likely <> don't pursue it.

Kasper
If SY could somehow make the cap work. Landing him wouldn't be the hard part, making the team cap compliant would be. Homeboy makes 11 mil a year.
Hes a local kid playing for his fav team. I'm sure he'll want a chance to be lovee by the fans again
Only way I see Him going is if hes harrassed constantly
Last thing we need is to add another 6 foot softie on the top 6. We already have smurfie alex and raymond plays big but hes not a big body
