If the Leafs do want Marner more compared to Strome or Hanifin and if it's true that Arizona wants him because of his connection with Max Domi, is that report out there hoping the Leafs will give them something to trade up for 3rd overall or is Arizona bluffing and they really want Hanifin?
I don't think the leafs will do any trading up in this situation. They'll just sit on their pick and take the bpa. If the leafs were say sitting 6th or 5th, then yeah a trade might be necessary to swing that deal. But Arizona's in far worse shape than the leafs are, I think they keep their pick and take who they want out of marner/hanifin.
Either way, we end up with a player that's slated to be an elite f or d. Not a bad haul imo.
