<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jamiepo</b></div><div>Trouba’s dad can’t get into Canada, Marleau wants to play for a contender.</div></div>

From everything I've just read, his dad has been at Jets games in Winnipeg including playoff games, so that seems to just be a rumour and not actual fact.

And the NYI are contenders. They just finished 5th in the NHL in points, swept the penguins in round 1. They have one of the best D-cores in the NHL all signed for another year+. They have roughly $35M in cap space ($19M after $10M for Marner adn $6M for Marleau) and only need to resign Lehner, Beauvillier, Lee and Nelson. You've then kept the same team together except replaced Eberle with Marner and Filpulla with Marleau. If that isn't a contender for Marleau then he isn't going to find one.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ConnorsCousin</b></div><div>and connor brown only gets you that 3rd round pick IF EDM even wants him at this point</div></div>

Based on Ken Holland's track record with players similar to Connor Brown (Abdelkater/Helm come to mind), not to mention his friendship and past chemistry with McDavid, I would be a little surprised if the Oilers had no interest in him.

And even if they don't Brown seems to be a name floated around the league as a player of interest so I'm not too concerned about getting a return for him. I

f you don't get a guy like Benning for the 3rd pairing so be it. Find a guy off waivers to compete with Holl. Or let the kids have a shot. Liljegren is having a heck of a playoffs for the Marlies. Him and Sandin could be ready by middle of next year or sooner. Not to mention with Dobson (assuming you get him) he's either NHL or Juniors and he's just had an amazing season in junior so maybe you give him the 9 game look at the start of the season. That spot is the one I'm least worried about tbh.

I remember back in 2016 Trouba saying he didn't see a fit with the Canadian teams, but was that "I don't want to live in Canada at all" or "none of the teams are good enough to overlook not living in America". Also that was 3 years ago. If Trouba still doesn't want to live anywhere in Canada, the Leafs would have to look elsewhere. Peitrangelo maybe although he's older and St Louis may not want to move him after this run they are having. Spurgeon or Justin Faulk possibly. Dougie Hamilton would be the ideal but I don't see how you get him without giving up one of the young very good wingers as part of the deal.


As for Marleau, I've never heard anything about him not wanting to play in New York. I know there are definite places he prefers over others and maybe New York isn't top of his list, but there are some great parts of Long Island his family can live, he would be a part of a contender which may have a bigger role for him and he would be going with Mitch Marner whom he loves. It isn't going to be his first choice destination but after thinking it over he may be willing to do it.
