And now Marner is a generational talent after one 94 pt season !This is my thinking as well and there is an opportunity coming to light now. Marner to the Preds for Ekholm and Ellis makes sense. The Cap would be a wash for both while the Leafs would not have the top pairing guy they would have a good 2nd pair both at age 29. The Preds would get a generational player they have never had while still having Josi and Fabbro going forward. The Preds are at the point where they must rebuild the goaltending has aged out and the pieces Poile has added are going to age out before the tender situation resolves. So it is time for him to sell off and build to a younger window. When the Wild beat the Wings in a couple days the Preds will be at the bottom of the central with out one three game win streak this season. Poiles ability to bandaid this team for the last 5 years hoping Rinne could fight off age has came to roost.
Now for the guy who advised me not to argue with VIQSI I know she is a Pred fan as well as a Jacket fane but what you do not know is that I was a full season ticket holder for the Preds from 98 to 2010 and I still follow that team as well as the Bolts, Sabres and Avalanche. I have had these teams as my favorites for years. VISQI and I have had many debates over the years she sees things one way and I see it another. But one thing we can both agree on I think is that the Jackets won that trade Jones for Sluggo. And I can understand many being on the Jones wagon but I just do not see him close to a top 10 defender in the league like most.
How many generational talents do we have on the leafs? 5 or even 6 with Sandin? Tampa must have at least 4? The league propably has more generational talents than All-Stars.
