A lot changes. This site is pretty great. It lets you see years into the future. You'd see that NSH only has three dmen signed for the 22-23 season. Two of them are the aforementioned RD's that aren't nearly as good as Marino whether you think so or not.

Oh no! How will they ever replace Matt Benning? He's the only RD they'll lose between those two seasons.

The Preds don't need a roster RD at Marino's cap hit for the near future. That cap space and the assets acquiring Marino would cost could be better spent bringing in more top six help.

OMG! Why would you want to become a better team by adding an RD who is significantly better!?!?! Craziness!

Even accepting your assertion that Marino is significantly better then Carrier or what Fabbro can be, it's not worth the assets you want from NSH when they have greater needs elsewhere.

Yes it is.

No from MN. They have enough wings, glaring holes at center and the d-corps, and a ton of dead cap.
