Interesting idea. Could maybe spark one last run for Pittsburgh?

Better than the other one I saw, however I think the pens still decline because of cap reasons if nothing else.

Just like the leafs, and every other team, the Pens are strapped with this flat cap.

They probably won’t be able to sign all their RFA and UFA(that should be signed) unless they move a contract.


The Pens don’t make a trade unless it gives them cap relief. That’s just realistic.

And in my opinion, Marner is not 5M a year better than Guentzel. Guentzel has a 40 goal season. Plays tougher, just look at the hits(which both the pens and the leafs need).

Marner is gonna be tough to move with this flat cap.

Unless the leafs take a loss and just take the cap relief. Every team is so strapped. Look at every ACGM trade post. Every teams fans are like, no way, we can’t afford it..lol.

Ya I mean I don’t think anyone is expecting this trade to happen, the flat cap is impossible to work around. But Mariners contract is a lot more moveable than people think. Any teams who r no where near the cap limit actually only have to pay him 24 mil in real dollars over the next 4 years (6 mil a year). So while his contract won’t be sent to a contender with cap problems, it is still very moveable

Good to know!!

Ya, Any graph u look at for next season. Pens are negative cap space..lol.

They won’t make a trade unless they are getting cap relief.

I'll take guentzel and his cap number even if marner is a bit better a player.
