I don't agree with that, his agent is someone who very strongly encourages his players to test free agency because he believes they've earned it. If he doesn't make it to FA then oh well there are other players of Marner's caliberThere's almost zero chance he goes to free agency. He's either getting traded and extended or if there's no viable option to trade, they will extend him.
I mean you listed a bunch of teams that are either within the division, or are no where near contending. Teams like Chicago and Anaheim are not going to spend premium assets to acquire a rental. I should have clarified that he might waive to a team like Detroit but there's no chance Toronto would trade him there. A team like Buffalo either can't afford him or Toronto will ask for non-starters like Cozens.huh? I see your premise is playoff teams. I disagree with it but adding seattle?
You guys have been trying the “no name garbage goalie” for like 6 years now and you end up blaming the loss on them every single year.
The answer? More no name bad goalies, obviously!
With a deal like this and the player having an NMC, I'm sure there will be contract discussions and he will go to a location he's willing to signAnd Utah?
8x$12M is one thing for a UFA. I'd pay that too in Nashville. But I wouldn't trade much for 1 year of him at $10.9M and then no guarantees on what happens after that. He's a fine player, but he's not going to make any real difference to us for 1 year. Saros makes a ton more difference.
I keep hearing this a lot. I must say I’m baffled Preds fans would be more willing to move on from Wood or Kemell than they would L’Heureux or Molendyk…I don't see L'Heureux, or Molendyk being available. One is exactly the type of player Trotz wants, the other dang near made the team last season. I think just about anyone else would be available outside of Askarov and Evangelista.
Maybe, but not guaranteed. You could easily have situation like this with Saros and Marner where both players need to be signed but are just traded as is and its up to each team to sign them.With a deal like this and the player having an NMC, I'm sure there will be contract discussions and he will go to a location he's willing to sign
Yes. You apparently haven't been paying attention. L'Heuruex has gotten his stuff together in the last 2/3's of the season and is currently #2 in the AHL playoffs in points. He also plays the style of game that Brunette wants to play. Molendyk was almost on the team last season, the only reason he wasn't was Trotz basically told Brunette no.I keep hearing this a lot. I must say I’m baffled Preds fans would be more willing to move on from Wood or Kemell than they would L’Heureux or Molendyk…
Really??
L’Heureux has caused so much trouble I didn’t think he had so much value and Molendyk isn’t exactly a Quinn Hughes type of prospect… he’s good but not great.
Kemell and wood are potentially elite prospects I feel…. I figured those two along with askarov would be our most valuable prospects…. Am I wrong?

No.Marner for Evangelista and ZLH
He has a signing bonus due July 1,so I am guessing then.How soon could a marner trade happen?
Like could it happen tomorrow? When playoffs are over? After June 1st?
What is most likely?
That has 1 year left on his contract, is not built for the playoffs, and is going to cost $11-12 mil to re-sign?so basically 4 prospects are not available for a 90pt winger, got it
Nashville doesn't have the assets just from my perspective as a Toronto fan.
Saros is nice but he's 29 and you'll need to pay him at 30 years old for probably not his best years...and that costs what? 6.75-8.5M for 6-8 years? The last sub 6 foot goalie to win a cup was Tim Thomas.
Keep in mind the goaltending prospect portion of the pool looks fantastic - Woll needs to stay healthy, Hildeby is knocking on the door for NHL minutes and Akyamatov just won VHL playoff MVP & also looked good in his KHL call up.
The secondary pieces to fill the gap like a 1st, Wood etc all aren't that appealing.
I have to imagine another team could offer more.
July 2nd as his bonus is paid on July 1stHow soon could a marner trade happen?

Just 2. I’d be willing to add wood or kemmel but they won’t be attached to sarosso basically 4 prospects are not available for a 90pt winger, got it
I do
Tkachuk had a year remaining, it came with an extension which got Calgary the value that it did.
People have 20/20 hindsight all of a sudden but Tkachul returned a 115 pt winger and a top pair RD
I expect Marner will do better than most would think
Before anyone brings up Tkachuk/Marner playoffs...Marner's PT/game in the playoffs is better than Tkachuk's was in Calgary.
Won’t be Nashville. Imo it’s LA for Doughty.
Yeah I don’t see Toronto trading Marner for a guy who will be 35 next seasonWon’t be Nashville. Imo it’s LA for Doughty.
Trading Marner for a goalie would be so stupid.
This years runaway Vezina winner (Hellebuyck) couldn't stop a beach ball in the playoffs. Last years Vezina winner isn't even the starter on his team anymore. Vasilevskiy was complete ass. Meanwhile, the cup winners last year were led by a random 3rd stringer and we have Silovs vs Pickard (who?) battling it out in the 2nd round. Sorokin looked like a world beater now he sucks.
Goaltending position is a total crap shoot these days. Gone are the days of stable, rock solid #1's like Brodeur, Roy, Belfour, Hasek, Joseph, etc.
We risk losing a 100 point winger who is good defensively just to potentially end up with yet another keeper with a .901 sv% and 3.08 gaa.
Anderson looked good for Toronto, then trash, now good again for Carolina. I have no faith in this position to be giving up a premium asset for it.
I'd have no more faith in Askarov or Sarros than I do in Woll next year.
then Chicago for Jones. Just don’t see Nashville.That would be beyond stupid
