Leafs Cup 2025

No thanks from the Sharks.

First, have to think - if Marner is even moved - it would be after July 1 so 2024 picks make no sense.
Second - hard to believe Ducks would move McTavish; he’s a cornerstone 1/2 C still on his elc
Third - I doubt Marner would waive for Anaheim, they are an awful team currently - lots of good pieces in pipeline but 3 years minimum before they are competitive. Does Mitch want to miss playoffs during his prime years?

Ducks decline.

Sharks decline.

Yeah so, Mason McTavish >>>>> Mitch Marner

Not even close for Anaheim

No, we're still not trading for Marner while sending his center the other way. Our forward core for the balance of this decade is set: Zegras and Gauthier at LW, Carlsson and McTavish at C, and Terry at RW. You build a team gradually, by adding to the core, not taking away one piece to replace it with another -- no progress is made that way. And you guys have proven over the past 6 seasons that concentrating most of a team's firepower in a few star players doesn't give you a winner because there aren't enough resources elsewhere to provide the proper support for them.
