The Marner/Domi deal is a steal for the Habs. But Montreal would never bail Toronto out otherwise. Marner's contract makes him almost untradeable especially given the flat cap. Contracts Montreal needs to sign next year: Tatar, Danault, Gallagher, Petry, Armia, Lehkonen. And the following year: Chiarot, Kulak, Suzuki, Kotkaniemi. Montreal isn't going into cap hell for fair value on Marner. So Toronto can keep Marner and enjoy an extremely top heavy team for years that can't get out of the first round (and struggles to make the playoffs).
