Shoulda got one game in
You should know by now Marner is the second coming of McJesus, and only will be traded for two Marners sent back to the Leafs.

Hope you'e being sarcastic here, Thought that Matthews was the 2nd coming of McJesus.
There are few defence I would take over Spurgeon, especially with that contract.....
Hannofin? Who else would be realistic? Spurgeon is better then Noah right now and is still young enough to be part of the core for the next 5 years. Hes playing 25+ minutes a night on a team with stacked D for a reason

I certainly won't turn my nose up at the value, but I can't see either team being interested in moving their respective players right now. Obviously the Wild would have to consider it if the offer was made for some weird reason, but losing Spurgeon would be a pretty seismic move for us.
I think the value is there.. Spurgeon is terrific player, easily top 30 dman in the league, but maybe Toronto would like someone with more term if they are trading Marner? As a Wild fan I would probably say no to this trade, because losing Spurgeon would kill the defence, and he is probably my favorite player too.
how bout:
marner + zaitsev + 4th
for
spurgeon + kunin
theres no way minnesota would do spurgeon for marner because they would lose a top-4 dman but if they get a dman back, then they could probably flip a forward to us.

Surely you don't think Spurgeon is better than anyone here?
I do think Spurgeon is better than a few players on that list.
I bolded the ones who I think are worse than Spurgeon. He is at worst elite #2, one of the best in the league.
Risto and carlson were both amusing. The others aren't crazy, I just disagree.

That may be true, buy you're not going to get a higher tiered player, they're simply not available.
Spurgeon is a good top pairing Dman signed to a very team friendly deal and he's also still on the right side of 30 for a couple more years.
I doubt he'd even be available for Marner. It's the premium that is placed on Dmen right now. Unless you draft one yourself they're very hard to acquire.
I think Toronto is best off hanging onto the young trio, and start focusing on drafting Dmen high in the draft like they did with Liljegren. At least for the next couple of years.

"Wanna go, Prettyboy?"
There are definitely a few blue liners on that list that I think Spurgeon is better than.
