Sujet: Marner before his NMC kicks in
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wreckless</b></div><div>The ideal time to trade Marner is either now, or after his next signing bonus is paid out next July. The team who acquires him will care about actual $ and not the cap ceiling (cuz he’s not worth his cap hit based on current economics). Outside of that, not sure there would be much of a market for the player.</div></div>

The whole "We need to trade Marner because he's lazy, overpaid, and not a winner! You can't win with him on the team!" thing reminds me a lot about the last time Leafs fans screamed for a star winger to be shipped out of town. The following season, that player won the 1st of back to back cups, and hilariously, 6 years after the trade, the Leafs are still paying $1.2 mil a year, and the remnants of the trade for the Leafs are:

-Rodion Amirov

That's it. A superstar winger gets run out of town, and the trickle down effect is a mid-1st rounder that was acquired through a separate trade that involved one of the original players that was acquired.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Capitalfail67</b></div><div>What would the asking price for Terry / Steel be? (Capitals)</div></div>

Terry is pretty valuable for us right now, and is the type of player that this team will want around as the rebuild moves forward.

I know that Steel has been a name thrown around here, and while I wouldn't want to move him, fair value is likely a late 2nd. To me, I think they should be keeping him though. Ceiling is good, and he's at the floor right now, which is as a solid 3C. Maybe he never surpasses that, but for $874 K, I don't think it'd be wise to move him for a pick that has a 50/50 shot at getting anywhere close to his level...that's not to say that he's been great, I just think he's a fine player to keep around.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>I'm trying to be as realistic and conservative as possible. Obviously, as a Ducks guy, I'd like to get more, but since we've all thought that Murray's asking price for both of these UFAs is a first plus, and no deal has happened, I'm not optimistic that that's what we're going to get. Of course, I agree with your and Salzy's previous expressions that it's better to keep Josh Manson around to give Jamie Drysdale some protection while he develops (at least for this year), but at some point, we're going to have to pull that particular trigger if we can't (or don't want to) re-sign him.</div></div>

Ah, I didn't look at who the OP was!

I guess with Manson, my thoughts were that he wasn't healthy last year, so teams likely didn't want to gamble at that point. I don't think the return is bad, per se, but I'd be surprised if Toronto preferred moving Lilly over their 1st rounder. They've spent a lot of time developing him...

As for Niemela, it's sort of the same thought in my head-they've got a 19 year old performing at a solid rate offensively (albeit in Finland), so they might be anti-prospect moving at this point.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BJ_Lover</b></div><div>One thing I respect most about Leafs fans is how level-headed they are and how supportive they are of their team. Never met one that came across as completely entitled in my life!</div></div>

It's funny because (as a non-Leafs fan), there's actually a whole bunch of level headed ones on here...there's just also a weirdly large group of people that hate nice things, and put up their "Nylander/Tavares/Marner/(rare occasion of Matthews)/(Formerly) Freddie Andersen" dart board after a loss, so that they can play everyone's favorite game: "Who the f*ck do I want to blame for this loss!"

It's a pretty easy game-you've just got to throw the dart and blame that player!

Something tells me the same people that make this type of post, are also the same people who were screaming "KADRI IS SELFISH! TRADE HIIMMMMMMM!", and "Freddie is a bum!" all last year...but I suppose we all have short memories.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Eli</b></div><div>Thanks. Since you're giving me credit for knowing everything, I won't have to point out that Orlov rivals Muzzin for consistent even strength production at LD. I won't have to tell you Orlov led LHD in playoff minutes and even strength points in 2018.

You also probably followed that by letting Rielly and Campbell walk, and dumping Ritchie at slight negative value, Toronto gets around $9M to play a forward UFA market that includes Kessel, Rakell, Perron, Dustin Brown, Palat, Rust, Pavelski, and more. Some of those guys are old, and might be cheap. A few of them are still pretty good.

I've already got another Caps fan commenting that Nylander isn't worth Orlov in terms of what he'd bring to Washington, and I kind of agree. I could offer to add Sheary, and Toronto fans could continue saying that nobody will ever be worth trading Nylander, but it doesn't matter much if Orlov isn't available.</div></div>

Hahaha, I didn't say "nobody will ever be worth trading Nylander". I said "1 year of Orlov doesn't = Nylander". You were the one skimping on all of the details.

As for Muzzin, great example of the value of a defensive defenceman! 1.25 years of Muzzin=late 1st+fringe prospect (Durzi)+B prospect (Grundstrom). Interesting, because, for 1 year less than the remaining time on Nylander's contract, the Caps gave up a 1st, 2nd, young roster player who had already eclipsed 50 pts (Vrana), and a mini dump in Panik. I find it comical, mainly because Nylander has been far more productive than Mantha at this point.
