Even assuming an extension for Marner, NSH declines. Assuming Trotz and Saros can't come to an agreement (but based on reporting today, it seems like they are close to a deal now), you wouldn't get all of those picks on top of Saros and Fabbro. At best you would get 1st alone, but more likely the 2nd.
It's pretty obvious that Marner is being shopped based on everything we have heard, and yes he is elite, but TOR the organization has the least leverage in this situation. With Marner's NMC, he controls who TOR can negotiate with entirely, and other GM's know that. They get to low ball TOR and there isn't much TOR can do about it because it's take a deal, resign Marner (which it's apparent they don't want to do), or let him walk for free next year.
