Extremely unrealistic team but how do you guys think they look on paper? Are they good enough to win the cup?

Don’t think Marner for Letang would go well for Toronto. If Letang was 26-30 it would be good.

Yeah TOR should stay away from this

mccann isnt worth andersson or a 2nd individually

Letang is a little bit too old, especially if we're giving up a guy who's not even in his prime yet.

Stop trading Marner in horrible trades.

Not a fan of that 3rd line -- I don't think those players would mesh together well. Having said that, yes, this is a good team.

Oh look, this guy makes a Marner trade in which the Leafs give him away. You are just never going to stop it with this Schtick are you?

Rangers decline.

Yeah, it’s true Letang’s an older D, but he hasn’t showed any signs of slowing down. This playoffs, he was terrific playing a shutdown role, which is what Toronto needs. He’s one of the most well conditioned athletes in the game. I expect him to maintain this level for another 3 years at least.

yeah this is solid. Pens add to the Toronto deal tho. Maybe Letang + Rust for Marner/Willy + Liljegren idk

That's understandable, but at that age, any serious injury could end his career. And I'd take 5 more years + any likely extension of marner over 3 good seasons of Letang.

There are cheaper options that can get the job done without giving up on potential franchise level talent.

Yeah, this is a really good team.

andersson sucks lol theres no way pens trade him for a bust

lol at the leafs adding AND retaining on leta....oh, its you

lol, k

I'm still battling internally whether this guy is a troll or just a nut. and tbh either way he's winning

okay, lets settle down with the brash comments. do i think leafs make this trade? No, they dont due to age difference, but for the immediate future does this improve the Leafs team. Yes it does. It wont happen because Letang is nearly 10 years older than Marner, but dont act like this is another trade where a team is giving up spare parts for Marner because that is just not true. if Letang and Marner were the same age, Pens would have no interest in this trade anyways

too old, too expensive and too many injuries. the dude is a light breeze away from blowing away in the wind like the end of infinity war

I don’t think he will be at his current level very long at all. My guess is in 2 years he will start to decline. While I would not mind seeing the Leafs get him, not at the price of a retained Marner. Maybe Marner for Letang and a Kapanen back (wouldn’t that be ironic).

No gm in the right mind trades a 23 year old forward for a 33 year old defence man (both of them worth the same in their prime). Only if you can go back in time and get the Letang from 10 years ago do we even think about it.

I agreed with you saying leafs dont do it? and no... in their prime, letang, a RHD is worth more than Marner, a RWer. Even if Letang was say 26 or 27, Leafs would still jump all over it. But of course hes not, so thats why the trade doesnt happen. but like i said, this isnt a trade where pens fans are giving up "nothing" for Marner like he usually posts.

I disagree with that philosophy. Assuming they both kill penalties, play PP1, and play top line/top pair, I'm taking the same-aged defenseman over the winger every time. Heiskanen over Svechnikov. Ekblad over Nylander. I think you'd have to be talking about a no.1 center to get on the same playing field as a no. 1 d-man.

yup, thank you AK

I always like to say that crosby and malkin always give you a chance to win a cup. So yes, this team absolutely could do it.
