Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

***Decided to fill out the rest of the team and adjust the trade and remove the 2021 1st round pick as it was likely too much of an add***

To start I should mention I don't want to move Pulock, I believe he could anchor the Isles D for years to come, but let's be honest here, Defense is the one spot we are incredibly DEEP down both sides and scoring is what this team needs the most... with that in mind this trade was put together to grab Marner from the Leafs without having to sign him to an offer sheet.... looking for thought and feedback on the value, not so much "I don't want to trade Pulock" or "Toronto won't trade Marner" responses lol

Only did the trade for feedback, so salaries and the team aren't finished.

Rationale:

Isles - They give up a HUGE piece in Pulock, but with Dobson likely to make the team next season, Wilde likely ready the following season, Boychuk not going anywhere because of his contract (though I think it is movable) and Mayfield on an incredibly team friendly deal... the Isles decide to make a blockbuster move and include Pulock in a trade to get Marner.

With Toews progressing like he did last year and taking over the #1 PP unit, the Isles view him as a suitable replacement to grow into the #1 role until Dobson is ready to take that over.

Leafs - They get a #1 RHD to pair with Reilly and anchor their defense and the necessary CAP relief of not having to sign Marner to a large contract.

Admittedly, as an Isles fan who wants Marner, I'm not sure I do this trade, but I feel this is the kind of trade that would need to be done to bring Marner to NY.
