It's a rumour. 

I feel like we should definitely separate roster speculation and front office/coaching speculation.

And the title suggests more than just one rumor

Yes. He wants you to add more.

Well I heard from my cousin's yard guy that the Sabres are bringing back Ted Nolan to coach the Sabres.

I heard they called him up and begged and he just laughed and said he would rather stay out of the league then hung up......

Eichel, Risto and Reinhart for Matthews and a cap dump

Marner makes $11m, sounds like a cap dump to me.

The Leafs trading Marner for the lesser asset, and significantly overrated Jones would be hilarious and good for the Sabres if we ever do get competitive in this division

Was that quote floating around from Dubas legit? The one where he’s talking about ‘how do we get a guy like Jones?’

I think it was interesting if it was, that a guy who is taking a beating from the analytics community is getting endorsed by an analytics GM. It feeds my pet theory that people can read too much into the surface analytics of tough-use D on bad teams.  (Sorta like their +/-)

When I’ve watched him play (not at all this year) the guy looks fantastic.

Pretty nice coincidence, it feeds into my pet theory too: That these guys often don't really know what they are doing, and that what they say in the media about "analytics" is mostly fan-service

The Leafs have added several players who go "against" the analytics mantra, that they'd target Jones isn't surprising. I'm also not saying he's a bad player - merely that he's not worth close to Marner

I look at how they match up on the ice.

Over a 7-game series I think it is way more likely Jones swallows up Marner than Marner embarrasses Jones.

Is next season Match-play?

@Brawndo I thought Seth Jones was garbage?

He is, but Toronto needs to move one of its Big Four and Columbus has the cap space to take Marner or Nylander.

A RHD in return fits the bill
