Proposal: Mitch Marner for Seth Jones

[NoName]

Talk about a block-buster. It immediately upgrades Columbus’ offence and Toronto’s defence. It would be a painful trade for both teams but one where they are ultimately trading from an area of strength to cover an area of weakness.


What are your guys thoughts? Is this fair value going each way?

No. At the rate he's playing, and with the contract he has, we're not trading Jones at all. Not "only if you offer X" - no trade, full stop.

There's also something to be said about trying to get an elite blueliner for an elite winger (that generally doesn't work), but that's overelaborating at this point.

 

[Morgs]

I do it.

 

[Fro]

Easy no for CBJ

 

[Avs44]

There’s no chance Columbus would consider this.

 

[Stuzchuk]

easy no from CBJ

 

[Ctrain2k]

Jones is honestly probably worth more than Matthews.

 

[KPower]

Even though Marner will be top 10 scorer next season Columbus says no.

 

[NextYear67]

Easy no from Leafs

Jones is honestly probably worth more than Matthews.

Wouldn'tgo that far.

Jones is honestly probably worth more than Matthews.

I can see the argument for him being worth more then Marner, but certainly not Matthews.

Huge no from Columbus. Jones is one of the best defensemen in the NHL and is on an excellent contract.

 

[GodEmperor]

Easy no from Leafs

Disagree, trade is fine in terms of value.

Jones is already a number 1 d, maybe even top 10 already, he clearly has excellent potential.

CBJ obviously says no, but simultaneously depending on how high they saw Marner's ceiling, they might consider it....for a few minutes anways.

 

[Lays]

Lmaooo
Let’s say they even were on the same level. RHD>>>>>>W

 

[NoName]

Easy no from Leafs

Really? We desperately need a top RHD. Jones is absolutely that, and he is on a great contract. I have a feeling Dubas would bite for this one if he could.

 

[The Moose is Loose]

I'd go as far as to say Jones is probably worth more than Matthews. No other young d-man looks anywhere near that much of a guarantee to become a Norris winner.

 

[Crede777]

Jones is honestly probably worth more than Matthews.

No he's not, but he'd be close.

 

[Stealth JD]

Kadri & Liljegren for Werenski?

 

[Viqsi]

Disagree, trade is fine in terms of value.

Jones is already a number 1 d, maybe even top 10 already, he clearly has excellent potential.

CBJ obviously says no, but simultaneously depending on how high they saw Marner's ceiling, they might consider it....for a few minutes anways.

The only reason we'd have to go for Marner, given the price tag, would be if he can replace Panarin. He's got that potential upside, but he's not there yet. And we're still not trading Jones for, well, anything.

 

[Viqsi]

Kadri & Liljegren for Werenski?

Another easy no. Werenski is almost as untouchable as Jones is. Liljegren looks like he'll be really really awesome, but we're just as bound and determined to compete now as Toronto is.

 

[hector morrison]

Seth just coming into his own, Marner has sky high offensive potential. A painful trade to be sure ! Leafs can survive without Mitch , Jones fills in that needy D spot. I bet PLD becomes a star with Marner on his wing, but can Columbus fill the D vacancy?

 

[780il]

Hahahahahah. Easy easy no from CLB. Jones is closer to Matthews than Marner. You could put forth a valid argument that hes worth more than Mattews. Young RH #1d dont come cheap at all. We offered Drai from the Oilers and got shut down hard, if they said hard pass to Drai then theres no way in hell they accept a winger for him.

 

[Stephen]

I could see a day when the CBJ really want to upgrade their scoring (like if Panarin leaves) and I could see the Leafs talking to them to balance out their roster and core, and I would expect something in the realm of Jones, Werenski, Nylander, Marner and other things in some combination. But that's not for a little while yet.

 

[northstar55]

If this trade went through and the Leafs got Jones for Marner, I would be more pumped than I was at 1:04pm on July 1st when I realized we got Tavares.

 

[CalEh]

I'm a HUGE Leafs fan. This is so lopsided in Toronto's favor it isn't even funny.

Jones is much more valuable than Mitch.
