That marner contract wont happen

I came here hoping to see a bad trade but all I instead I'm looking at a surprisingly decent rental trade for the Leafs! What are you playing at, you cotton headed ninny muggins?!?

I was expecting to see a pile of horse bleep but instead, I didn't see horse bleep lol

Let's be real, the Manson trade gets rejected (Ana takes a more expensive rental Dman and takes on 2 AHLer's who are B level prospects? ) and Marner rejects that contract (Marner's agent is suborn and wants to set the market value to ruin the NHL owners).

Ceci is 1yr bandaid while ANA figures out how to get younger, and helps them with cap flexibility moving forward when he walks. Liljegren still projects as a 2nd pair with offensive upside, has cost certainty on an ELC, and is exempt from Seattle draft. Bracco can add point-scoring potential to the bottom 6 or PP2, and will have a better shot cracking the roster there than in TO.
Ferris takes the deal precisely because walking his client straight into UFA money will ruin the owners.

I like the Manson deal. Marner 3 years at $9,000,000
