The idea of combining an elite play-maker with an elite sniper on the first line seems pretty good to me, and I wouldn't want to change it.
But let's assume Marner asked for a trade himself, for whatever reason.
The only two scenarios that seem acceptable to me:
- Swapping him for another high-WAR player of similar impact and similar age, supposing that other player also wants to leave their current team (a Rantanen/Panarin/Kucherov type of player, could also be a different position);
- Dubas can sign a high-WAR player as UFA, of equivalent impact to the team (e.g. MacKinnon or Huberdeau want to change team and sign with us after next year), and Marner is traded for a package with futures.
Either scenario seems unlikely, though not impossible.
I don't think I'd be interested in other kinds of trades, as we would end up on the losing side.
