Gotta think that Detroit might not want to do this as Mantha and Athanasiou are really good young players, but Marner is tricky in that I don't know whether or not other GMs value him as highly as the Leafs do. If they like him enough to give him 11M+ on a long term deal, they'd probably pull the trigger, but I think Yzerman would rather let Toronto stew over the Marner situation and hope it goes poorly for them.

Trade Marner for this, Trade Marner for that, Sign Marner for this, Sign Marner for that, Marner wants this, Marner wants that, Marner's worth this, Marner's worth that.....deja vu has happened. I remember this last year with Nylander. It's getting really old, and annoying.

It's not terrible but Wings pass. Marner just wants too much money, Yzerman is big on getting guys signed to team friendly deals.

This is actually a nice proposal. I like the idea, for both teams.
