There is no way Marner will return good value with the flat cap. There is also no way the leafs will retain on him or take back cap dumps. As a result I dont see any chance Marner is traded.
If it is any of the big 4 it will be Nylander as it has always been, Marner's contract made sure he had a NMC before it was even possible to have one. Personally I think we will move out AJ and Kap for futures/Rielly's partner and will basically try again with the same core. Not sure if I agree with it but the flat cap limits options and the only 'blow up' they could actually do would be to trade guys like Nylander, Rielly and Anderson which doesn't make sense in my mind.
If you can get a top pairing RD that fits in stylistically with Rielly you gotta think about moving Nylander. I'm a big Nylander fan but it will take a good asset to get the defenseman the leafs need.
