Thorny Posted October 25, 2021 Report Share Posted October 25, 2021 9 minutes ago, PromoTheRobot said: Marner is disliked by many Leafs fans for not giving 100% and not caring enough. I saw one Twitter fan rant about him playing golf the day after being eliminated from the playoffs. The fan pointed out that not only was it a bad look playing golf one day after elimination, but if Marner could even play a round that soon he must not have been trying that hard during the playoffs.

thewookie1 Posted October 25, 2021 Report Share Posted October 25, 2021 1 hour ago, nfreeman said: So, the Leafs are maybe the richest team in the NHL, play in the most pressurized market in the NHL, are inclined towards making splashy moves, are 2-4, have lost 3 in a row, including a 7-1 blowout loss on HNIC this weekend and are playing Carolina tonight for another likely loss. Mitch Marner has 1 assist in 6 games this year despite averaging almost 22 min per game. He is a dynamic, exciting, highly skilled C/RW who doesn't turn 25 until next May. He's under contract at $10.9MM per year for 3 more years after this one, and then will be a UFA. If KA were somehow able to confirm that Marner would welcome a trade to Buffalo, would you trade Eichel straight up for Marner? Would you sweeten the pot with, say, Ryan Johnson or Mattias Samuelsson or the Sabres' #2 in 2022? I would. No, because I don't see Marner as better than Eichel. He's soft and rarely performs in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also comes down to player type, position and the fact I'd never trade Eichel to the Leafs.

Thorny Posted October 25, 2021 Report Share Posted October 25, 2021 Marner is 24. Olofsson is 26. If Marner "wants to be here", and he could be had for Eichel straight up, you make the move. What the hell are you waiting for, a late first to become no where near as good, in 4 years? Yes, that guy won't be making 10 mil. Sweet. I'll pay the money and take the all-star level player 1 minute ago, thewookie1 said: It also comes down to player type, position and the fact I'd never trade Eichel to the Leafs.

The major problem I'd see is our team's size and center depth. We'd have a myriad of small players of varying skill but little grit or size.

Exactly. The likelihood of getting back a player as good as Marner, even without the ADR/injury discount, is quite low. As matters stand currently -- i.e. where the acquiror is bearing the ADR/$50MM risk? It's less than 10%, maybe less than 3%. The panicked team making a dumb move is the Sabres' last best hope for getting a premium asset back in trade for Eichel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
