I have been a firm believer that they need to break up the core 4. Marner should have been traded before his NMC kicked in. That sets the tone for negotiations with Matthew and Nylander.

I think the DeBrincat trade is a fair comparison to a Nylander trade. I believe that Nylander is worth more but a similar situation. No one will be happy with that return but if you pay him $10,000,000 a year, can you ice a good line up and win with this core?

My question is this...
Do you take the DeBrincat trade or or a $10,000,000 cap hit?

If I am missing a realistic option, I'd love to hear it!
Ideally, they strike a deal with Calgary for a player/players in a similar position
