If you assume that Nylander is properly priced, then why is Marner worth 1/3 more?? If Marner takes $8M and Matthews $11M, then you have $3M more to spend on the defense; if Marner takes $9M and Matthews $11.5M, you still have $1.5M extra.
It seems to me that Edmonton, with only 4 guys who can play forward (and that may be generous to Chiasson), might be interested in Brown or Hyman or both, which would not necessitate trading any one of the "expansion-protect" forwards. Of course, I would hate to lose two guys from Toronto . . .
