There's a widespread belief that the Leafs will look to trade Mitch Marner if they lose in the 1st round again. This would be one of the biggest trades of the cap era, so where do you guys think Marner will wind up?

I think New Jersey makes sense, they have a surplus of very elite defensive prospects that will be enticing to Toronto (Casey 👀), and also some good young players like Mercer. They also have the 10th overall pick which will likely be a defenseman, which is of no use to NJD. Wonder if that is in play.

Nashville also makes sense to me, I could see something revolving around Tomasino + Askarov being a solid base.

Utah could also make a lot of sense, they have so many picks and prospects while also having a desire to compete.

It'll be an interesting offseason

Sujet: Exploring a Marner Trade to Get a Cup in NJ
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dgibb10</b></div><div>NJD passes on the idea of paying Mitch Marner 13 million dollars a year or paying that ridiculous price</div></div>

Marner replaces Mercers spot in the lineup (huge upgrade), Casey really has no spot on this team with the rightside consisting of 3 star NHLers who all have term on their contracts, and the 13th overall selection won't get the Devils someone nearly as needle pushing as Marner.

13m may be a bit on the higher side in terms of estimates, but NJD really shouldn't have any issue facilitating a Marner extension. The cap ceiling will rise significantly when that extension begins, and it will really only be a 3 - 4m raise above what he's making now.

I know Marner has a bit of a negative presence in the media right now, but don't get it twisted. Marner is among the leagues best wingers and would instantly be one of this teams biggest and most dangerous offensive weapons while also being a big time factor on the PK. He transforms this team into a strong contender. Not sure what there is to hate here
