Marner to Florida

Think this trade is tipped way in the leafs favour. I also do not see Florida wanting to move ekblad. What reason do they have?

Take out the picks and because they missed out on Panarin also concussions play a factor

I wouldn't trade Marner for Ekblad too much of a risk for Tor. Just trying something different as it gets tiring doing the same trades.

No from the Panthers, if they are going to trade for Marner they aren’t giving up a first or Tippett...why because they don’t have to. Ekblad for Marner is the trade but won’t happen as Tallon has already said he wants another defenseman not a forward. Dubas has expressed interest in Ekblad because he’s a RHD that signed long term, again I don’t think it happens unless Tallon is able to negotiate a long term deal with Marner prior to the trade.

The leafs wouldn't do it as they would target Dumba or Jones before Ekblad both are better,cheaper, and don't come with the concussion history. Also it's well known that Florida is shopping Tippet, as thay are no longer as high on him as they once where.
