apuszczalowski Posted July 27, 2021 Report Posted July 27, 2021 Saw an article on TSN proposing a Win/Win blockbuster deal between the Sabres and the Leafs Leafs trade Marner to the Sabres for Dahlin Dahlin is on a rookie deal and has regressed from his rookie deal while Marner is a talent that can help them replace Eichel. Leafs get a defencemen that can turn things around and be cheap for now while also freeing up cap space while helping Buffalo stay above the Cap floor many comments have Leafs fans not liking this deal because they think the Leafs should get more in return for an unproven player (even though he was a 1st overall pick that many were calling a generational prospect IIRC, even though the biggest part of this deal is that the Leafs would get a potential upgrade on defence where they need help, and most importantly, free up cap space at a time when the Cap is not supposed to increase much for a bit 1 Quote

Dahlin is our core, with Cozens, Power, Quinn, and whatever big piece comes back for Jack. I'm not moving him for Marner, not even close. 2 Quote

Randall Flagg Posted July 27, 2021 Report Posted July 27, 2021 Marner is a good player. He also has zero goals in his last 18 playoff games I think, and just 1 assist in his last 6 elimination playoff games His contract is ugly. I'll take dahlin's uncertainty over Marner's highs and lows, though I do respect marner 1 Quote

Zamboni Posted July 27, 2021 Report Posted July 27, 2021 I really really like Marner. But seeing how he’s a ghost in the playoffs, for his cap hit … I’d have to pass on him. Quote

I assume they suggested this trade because Buffalo drafted Owen Power and because the Leafs have real salary cap issues. I would not want to make the trade. As others have said Marner is a very talented player that has established himself in the NHL as a top player (the playoff numbers will materialize I'm sure). I think he would be pretty disgruntled at this point in his career to be traded to a rebuilding Sabres team going against Adams principle of getting players that want to be here. Quote

Marner (a) doesn’t fit into our time line and (b) isn’t a 1C nor could he turn into one. 1 Quote

Its my hope he comes back , didn't seem like he want to go out of buffalo, not really sure. And we have the cap space to offer him a 4x4 or something. Quote
