I think this is the correct answer. Value is close but it doesn't work. Boston doesn't have another McAvoy (not many teams do btw. Big fan of his game).

oh please not all #1's are created equal. In a vacuum Marner>Mcavoy.
Marner in an elite #1 winger while Mcavoy is an avg #1 D

What's MacAvoy's contract situation look like? Because ignoring the fact that Marner is unsigned and want to get paid significantly impact his value to a contending team IMO.
IMO - this isn't a good fit because the Bruins' aren't going to want to upgrade on wing given their relative depth there and take a step back on the blueline.

Why on Earth would the Bruins ever make this deal. McAvoy is that teams future on Defense and is already a Top pairing Dman under 23 years old.
Not a chance they move him.

You can tell that a lot of Leaf fans stopped watching the playoffs after the Bruins knocked them out. None of them saw how dominant McAvoy was, especially in the final. He's already better than Rielly and he's just scratching the surface.
Wingers are easy to come by (Panarin is a UFA). #1 defensemen are almost never available.

....no. McAvoy is significantly better than both Petry and Ekblad, while Kane is also significantly better than Marner.
Of course you're fully aware of that already but gotta make yourself look like a fool anyway.
It could be a massive trade,
Marner + Dermott + 3rd for Mcavoy + 3C + 1st (either 2020 or 2021, up to the Bruins. Pick is not protected)

Pass from the bruins. Bruins aren't going to pay marner his $12m or whatever ludicrous amount he wants when Bergeron, March and, and pastrnak are all making less than $7M.

Even if it was, what would the TML defense look like without Reilly...they wouldnt do it either lol
That's exactly why he won't be paid that. The only, and I really do mean only, reason Marner is able to ask what he is asking for is because of how much money Toronto has already paid Matthews and JT
Once Marner is traded to Boston that leverage is gone and he is back to a $9.5m player

OPs proposals are just getting worse and worse...
First it was Marner for McAvoy straight up. Already bad for the Bruins.
Then it became Marner for McAvoy AND a 3C. Even worse for the Bruins.
Now its McAvoy AND a 1st AND a 3C for Marner and Dermott.
From bad, to awful, to just ridiculously terrible.

McAvoy is the #1 defenseman on a team that *just* went to the Stanley Cup Finals and you call him a "decent #2 option?"
Yeah, but he'd be 3rd pairing on the team that won the Stanley Cup behind Pietrangelo and Parayko. The point is, he's the best defensemen on Boston, but would not always be the best defensemen on every team in the NHL. He wouldn't be the #1 in Toronto either at the moment. #2 is still a top pair defensemen.

I am not the guy you want to be wrong about.
I don’t think you’ll see these two teams make a deal of this magnitude while they’re both in win now mode and directly competing with one another.
Too much risk from both sides to have this BLOW UP in their faces and cost somebody their job.

I would make it Marner + Kadri and the rights to Don Cherry for McAvoy.
No way in hell I would do it for Boston but Toronto might actually beat the Bruins in the playoffs now.

McAvoy is more valuable than Marner. As fun as it would be to watch Mitch in The Bruins top 6, having McAvoy and Carlo locking down RD is the kind of luxury very few (any) teams have.
The only way I'd consider a 1 for 1 swap is if McAvoy was terrible in the playoffs his first three seasons but it's been the opposite, if you couldn't see progression in his game but you can on a near nightly basis or if Boston had a tonne of trouble filling the rink as Marner would generate some buzz and get butts in the seat but they have no problem selling out.
