I would have done that but Buffalo clearly wants size. 

BUF: 
Kesselring: 6'5", 215lbs 
Timmins: 6'2" 213lbs
Radim Mrtka: 6'6", 218lbs

OTT:
Jordan Spence: 5'11", 180lbs

Jarmo? so you'd be blaming him for this? He's been on the job for 5 minutes. How about blaming Pegula and KA? If you trade Byram you better have a rock solid plan set up for UFA (Ekblad, Provorov, Orlov, Fabbro).

They’ve been blamed long ago - I need someone new.  It was /s.

Isn't the knock on Gibson that he starts a season well and then fades?

Hasn't the knock on the Wings the last couple of years been that they start a season well and then fade?

We might have a match made in heaven.  (Here's to hoping at least.)

Friedman has this as well

Adams should be doing this with Ehlers and/or Robertson but it's too complex for him. He rather let someone else sign Ehlers as a UFA and someone else trade for Richardson. One can only hope he's looking into these things

[DarthEbriate]

Good on Toronto if they get a valuable return for a UFA three days shy of the UFA window.

Seeing this, Adams should be calling Toronto saying we can mtch/give you more and VEG is more of a threat to the Stanley Cup than Buffalo

Robertson is not a free agent.

Everything I ever hear about Marner is that he either is looking for or should be looking for shorter term so he can cash out on the bigger cap coming up. If he signs for anything less than 8 years, I have no idea why he would work with Toronto/Vegas on this.

Yea that’s why my thread said “trade for Robertson” not sign him

About five posts up you said Adams should be doing the same thing with “Marner and/or Robertson but it’s too complex for him.” 
That implies they should be trying to do a sign and trade with a guy already under contract.

meaning same concept with ehkers and Robertson/UFA for one trade for the other as was written

You are forgetting state taxes, that’s a major factor in any deal Marner takes. Besides not sure if Marner goes from the Leafs to Buffalo of all teams!

Well he only has a year left on his deal so they could negotiate the 8 year before the trade I guess

Now go get Sherwood and Demko from Vancouver and we’re in the playoffs.  That’s the kind of trade I’d be okay with Byram and ?

Hmmm I actually could live with that 

I still think you would need to add another dman but I agree that would be a huge add

Kiefer sherwood of the LW variety and 40 points which we don't need (though he shoots right)? I don't think he moves the needle at all (or very much anyway) and doesn't help us towards the playoffs. And you create another huge hole by trading Byram
