Calgary Flames get: RW Mitch Marner, C Fraser Minten, LW Nick Robertson, D Timothy Liljegren
Toronto Maple Leafs get: G Jacob Markstrom*, D Rasmus Andersson
*Flames retain 25 per cent of Markstrom’s remaining salary
Help-me-name-my-pup
Take my Ras’s name out your fucking mouth!
But actually, I’d be more interested in something like this:
To the Leafs: Markstrom (50% retained)
To the Flames: Tavares (no retention)
Matthew Knies
Toronto’s 2024 1st round pick
They can keep the more skilled forward, while still clearing up a ton of cap and getting their proven goalie. Gives them room to get some quality top 4 D and/or supplement their forwards with more depth/ retain Domi.
We can get Tavares to keep the vets happy that we’re « going for it » this year, before flipping him at the deadline. Knies looks like a gamer, I think he’d compliment the group here very well with both his age and his style of play. And the 1st can be packaged with the Vancouver 1st to move up if needed, or add another decent lottery ball to our bag of prospects. There might be another decent prospect the Leafs would part with that could sub in for the 1st.

I don’t think Conroy would have significant interest in Marner. The Flames are probably targeting being a competitive team in 3 to 4 seasons and he would likely be an aging veteran on a bad contract at that point in time.
The player I think the Flames would have interest in is Tavares, mainly because Toronto would have to give up assets to move him. At the trade deadline, if the Flames retained 50% of his salary there would likely be a lot of interest in him and the Flames could acquire more assets. In theory, the Flames could get as much as 2 first round picks to hold onto Tavares for 40 to 60 games, and he would make them more competitive until the deadline. With that said, I don’t see this as realistic because I doubt Tavares would waive to come to Calgary especially knowing that he would likely get moved again in February.

I had a good chuckle when I saw this article yesterday. The reality is that the **only way** Marner waives his NTC 1 year before he’s a UFA is if they rehire Babcock.

If the Leafs (and Marner himself) are ready to talk to the Flames, they should consider it – even if that means trading Markstrom and some other talent over there. Just not sure what the deal should be.
I can’t imagine Marner would want Calgary, but I wouldn’t say no to a deal for him if that was an option. Calgary could use a superstar player and there is no denying he is one.
The deal suggested in this article might not be the one to go for (I’d take Nick Robertson, but Liljegren is not worth Ras in my opinion). Minten is still TBD – entirely possible he could find a fit with the young guys out here, but no guarantees on anything.

That’s not a bad trade. 0 chance Marner waives for CGY anyways

Marner will never get bigger, more intense, hard working. He is up his own ass, with a god complex.

I can’t see Conroy trading away Ras. We’ve already got rid of most our blue line. We need to keep him.

Why would the Flames take on any drama?
Hi_Im_Flabber
Only reason Calgary should entertain a Marner trade is if they are the middle man retaining on his deal
ie Team X and Toronto send us picks/prospects, we send Marky and/or Mange to Toronto and retain 50% of Marner to team X.
If this trade were to happen after July 1st (which is already most likely) retaining 50% on Marner would only cost the ~300k in actual money
I think the worst part of that article is that the writer thinks Columbus would give up both 4th OA and Kent Johnson for Marner when in reality they wouldn’t trade either
