Ottawa says no way. It'd be going backwards in a rebuild. Ottawa would be basically paying a future elite center and a future cornerstone RH defense-man (who will both be on Entry-level deals and affordable so your logic of Melnyk being cheap is... flawed), for 5 years of Marner, 1 year of Freddie and a guy who hasn't cracked the NHL yet. The other thing is Gaborik's contract is insured so Melnyk basically pays a small percentage of his contract.
My offer for your cap troubles? Johnson, Holl and a 3rd for Balcers, Jaros and a 6th. Boom, two guys that make a combined 6.4 on the cap for two guys that you can sign to cheap 2 way deals that have NHL experience.
Or, alternatively: Batherson, Thompson and NYI 1st for Nylander straight up.
