Sujet: Nice Easy Off-Season Year 2
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>villenash</b></div><div>The Seattle pick of Skjei really helps to make it all come together. Definitely doable when you can snag that extra $5m+ of cap space. I don't think any of these deals are that crazy - the sheer number of moves and offersheets is, but the deals themselves are not too far-fetched. The value is fair for the most part on both sides, with the Mikheyev OS being the only suspect deal (maybe the Bean, Driedger, and Geekie contracts are a little light as well).

If Necas is ready to be a legit 2C, this team is dirty - back-to-back cups dirty.</div></div>
If Driedger becomes starter caliber or Makiniemi/Kochetkov is ready for starter/back-up roles.. we could then allocate Kuemper’s $4.5M to Necas on a bridge deal and fill holes or make upgrades. The Mikeyev OS is light, and I am sure TOR wold match it but I think he would be a great addition to our middle six, even without all these other moves. Anyways this was just a thought experiment. It would be sick to have all these young top talents locked in the top-6 and the grit, size and secondary scoring of the bottom-6. And of course the D is solid while the cap leaves room for improvements if needed. A half decade of cup runs minimum.

Sujet: Marner doesnt work
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hidalgo</b></div><div>Pesce is a great player but I don’t think Dubas has any interest in trading Marner unless he’s getting a star player back, regardless of what his cap hit is. Just has too much upside. Both teams are best to just hold onto their guys.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>etpeck</b></div><div>Yeah I agree 100%. This deal isn’t my idea, I saw several other threads with it or something very similar. Marner is a great player but I agree that it doesn’t make sense either way</div></div>

Could just me (regardless of whatever my thoughts are on the trade), but I think Pesce is a “star” in a different way. A defensive star, similar to players like Brodin; a player whose under appreciated due to lack of points. Maybe a better example would be old Vlasic. Vlasic from the past would make team Canada consistently over other high stock names and people would think Vlasic didn’t belong. But Vlasic, like Brodin and Pesce bring so much more to the table then the first glance. Pesce is behind Slavin who’s establishing his name amounts the best and Hamilton who had a solid year.

To be clear I agree Toronto would wait for someone to overpay, but if it was Pesce + 1st + good prospect coming back I’d do it in a heartbeat
