Sujet: Marner read description
I think a big question mark right now is whoever becomes the Leafs GM. Shanahan doesn't seem to want to trade the core 4 (even though I think that's a huge mistake).

Based off of value alone, I think Toronto accepts. The problem with this trade is that it's likely that none of these players become as good as Marner.
-Necas is a great player but his contract will expire so maybe he leaves.
-Skjei is a good player but not a top-pair defenseman. His contract is also coming up.
-The picks are great but you know that they are going to be late picks.

Overall, I think that it's a hard trade to sell to Toronto fans which is going to be important for any new GM. This would make the leafs worse on paper.
I would try and get Drury or Jarvis because they bring more value than late 1st for a team that wants to win now.

Can you make me an offer with these pieces?
Drury, Necas, Jarvis, 2023 1st, Ryan Suzuki, and Svechnikov

Are Jarvis and Svechnikov off the table?

I appreciate the description. A few things...
1. I doubt Holl will stay. Fans have been so hard on him that I think he is ready to move on. He would also make more on the open market than he would in Toronto.
2. Kallgren won't be resigned as Toronto has a lot of up-and-coming young goalies in their system.
3. I'm certainly open to trading Brodie as he is on an expiring contract. My problem with it is that you would need to replace him. You did so with Severson and while I think that he is a good player, I think that he isn't strong enough in his own end or on the PK. This makes Toronto's D more offensive than defensive.
4. I'm convinced that this core with disappoint again. I hope I'm wrong but I believe that the only way forward is to move on from one of Marner or Nylander, clear out Murray, and try and get younger. Build a team around Matthews and get him some consistent wingers to play with

Sujet: EK65 in two years - I need this to happen
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>kman0101</b></div><div>Guy... he put up 100 points. only 5D have done that in the history of the league. You can go get 4 other "Defence first" for 2-3M each after this... Tell McCabe, Gio, Schenn, and Liljegren you will cut off there legs if they cross the red line if you want after this... He will age just fine. He has speed, and he's agile. Tavares is a poor skater but a very good player. I love him. He has been my favourite player in the league since his 2nd year in the NHL... I love him! I also KNOW he is in decline... and Marner on his wing is the only thing that helps the team get the most value out of that contract. EK65 is the guy that will drag this team through a series.

Yes I am a life long leafs fan. EK is a wolf in sheeps clothing... I am telling you this is the move that gets the leafs across the next chasm.</div></div>

Agree to disagree then. I think this puts their cup window further out of reach
