Marner is gone, 100% assure you all of this. If they don't trade him by July 1st, the offer sheet will be the catalyst. I do know this, Botterill has great interest in this situation.

To reply to someone believing Zaitsev is doing better than Russell in Edmonton, like hell he is. If you put Zaitsev who is not all that good in a good system with a good coach into Edmonton's situation where it's a lot more chaotic and a lot more adversity against them and less talent to help them, he'd do so much worse than Russell. He would not supplant Russell and even if he did there's no way that they'd think it'd be worth it because he's just not that good and not that much of a driver to warrant the investment.

At least use a team Marner might realistically want to play for, not some backwater organization.

I don't think there's much risk of an offer-sheet on Marner, but the leafs will be in cap hell and other GM's could screw them by offering Kapanen something like 4mil on a 1 year deal.

Marner offer sheets, Leafa get 4x 1st round picks. They March if it's a good team where the picks will all be 20+.

Use the money they have now to sign Stone/ Panarin (who ever is available).

Use the 4 1st round picks and trade for a RHD, a guy with some size and some young cost controlled guys to fill out the roster.

Leafs have $72m tied up by 14 players for next season
Toronto Maple Leafs - CapFriendly - NHL Salary Caps

What money signs Stone / Panarin?

If Marner gets offer sheets that give 4 x 1st round picks. You use the money he was gonna get and fill the picks into assets.

I.e. 2020 1st + Marleau(25% retained) to SJS for a 2020 2nd.

Use the assets gained in the 4 1sts to offload your bad contracts and replace them with better cheaper alternatives / picks coming back and use the menu to sign a star free agent winger.

And exactly why Marleau would waive his NMC?

To go back to SJS who is just as close to a cup as the Leafs? To back to where he still has a house with his wife and kids, where he said he is gonna retire?
Not sure...

No he's not, we deal Nylander before that happens and pay Marner 10 million.

Although if Marner wants to leave to some irrelevant market away from friends, family and the ability to create a lasting legacy in the city he grew up in, he can feel free.

We'll dry our tears with the 4 1st rounders + 1 of Karlsson, Stone, Panarin.

Leafs will offer kapanen a short bridge deal. Sure there is the risk of an offersheet but where else is kapanen going to get to play with who he can in toronto.

2 years x $3 million for kaps. That will give cap time to go up and marleaus contract to expire.

If we need to lose him as a cap casualty it is a bummer but tavares, marner, matthews and nylander are a pretty ridiculous 4/12 forwards. Still have hyman, kadri, brown, johnsson, moore. For what matthews and marner are making/ going to make, it shouldnt matter who they play with.
