Marner would have to waive which he likely doesn't

Anaheim accepts

Although I don't necessarily disagree with the premise, unlikely Marner would waive his NMC.

We don’t need cap space

I'm sure $5 million cap space player can score 100 points and create 50+ tap in goals for Matthews, no problem.

Marner is easy to replace, where's Joshua Ho Sang>?

There's an argument to be made for not carrying too many 10+ million dollar men on the roster to have sufficient space to fill out the depth chart.

But between Nylander and Marner, why would you loose Marner? At least his contract isn't due for renewal until Tavares expires.

I guess this is where the nhl is - some fans will trade a 100 point, 2 time first team all star, selke nominee for cap space 🤦🏻

Cap space so the Leafs can desperately not lose Nhl greats like; Timmins, Lafferty, Reaves, Jones, McMann or Gambrell to waivers.

Cap space is a future HHOFer

P. Kane wouldn't sign in Toronto.

Though that would make an interesting all American 1st line.

Knies/Matthews/Kane

Trading Marner for cap space makes 0 sense as you need to replace him and if you look at the options older and not as good

This is just silly. You do not trade Marner for the sole goal of cap space.

What a lot of people do not realize next season Leafs have the most cap space of all competitive NHL teams and this is even with AM extension in place

They are fine

But hey lets see everyone in the league do it. EDM dont need McDavid they should trade him for cap space lul

I was trying to mock people who say it. They act like cap space is gonna hop over the boards and score a goal, hence the created player

I figured thats why I stated the obvious and put the McDavid joke in later

I'm surprised nobody else got it lmao
