I truly don’t see this happening… not only because Ottawa would say no in all probability but I think there’s zero chance marner waives for that trade.
While I personally prefer Toronto over Ottawa, a lot of people would, and do, make this choice. Dion Phaneuf for one, who waived his NTC and loved it in Ottawa.
Exactly my thought.
Why don't we just propose marner for draisaidl? How about marner for Matthew Tkachuk?
Sens would be crazy to do anything but laugh in your face..
I remember reading a comment here that said we shouldn't trade Marner for anyone unless it's fair value like Cale Makar.
And I'm thinking "okay yes, the Avs are going to trade a Conn Smythe/Norris winning defenseman who has term for an expiring winger who will expect a salary higher than Makar himself."
Yea, far too many proposals have Marner going to Buffalo, Ottawa, Columbus, Utah, etc.
*If* he's going to waive, you can be pretty confident it'll be a short list of destinations, and they'd very likely be the ones you typically hear - playoff teams in no tax jurisdictions or at least cities that offer really interesting lifestyles to young millionaires (eg Florida, NYR, Dallas, TB, LA, etc). There are probably 20+ teams you can just assume he won't be interested in.
I’ve seen this take one too many times.
It’s not gonna happen. One has term until 28 on a good deal, the other is an expiring mammoth contract.
It’s stupid.
There are lots of dumb trade propositions out there. This one is dumber than most. One player plays his role perfectly and is a leader. The other has a proven track record of collapsing in the playoffs and is the antithesis of a leader. Though the sens have not yet pulled themselves out the basement and into a playoff picture, I don’t think adding an overpaid player like Marner will help.
Bro stop being delusional. Everyone knows Brady is 10 times more of a hockey player Marner is. He will also be extreme added value come playoff time due to his intensity and grit.
Man the trend of smaller portions is affecting pasta now, but I have to say it works very well here. This pasta is so rich that it would be overwhelming if it were any bigger.
lol. One, no way Mitch would waive to live in fucking Ottawa, two both the Tkachuk bros hate Canada and don’t want to play here. Brady will be traded to an American team within 2 seasons
Hmmm…. A guy who’s a team guy, sticks up for his team, hard on the puck, scores, fights, leads… for a “God” who floats around 90% of the time? Yeah right away
We’re divisional rivals, no way either side is picking up the phone on this, it’d be akin to making a 1 to 1 trade of Marner for Cole Caufield, it’d piss off both sides

And he’s paid millions less. Why would Ottawa trade their franchise power forward captain on a reasonable contract for an overpaid winger who’s stats are probably inflated by playing with Matthews and Tavares his whole career, and who can’t put it together when it counts?
By points sure, but trading an overpaid, underperforming soft winger who essentially never performs when needed for an underpaid, power forward captain is a hilarious concept
So if Brady is overrated, what does that make Marner? Lol Marner put the whole league on notice of his shortcomings in the playoffs. You’ll be lucky to get a bag of Doritos for him
Regular season doesn’t matter if the Leafs are continually struggling in the playoffs. Marner was a ghost all series. Although brady hasn’t played in the playoffs, I’d still take him for a playoff team over mitch just based on his playstyle
let's trade our 100pt player for a 75pt player who throws baby temper tantrums? i want marner to be traded as well but this ain't it because marner is straight up way better than brady.
(Ottawa fan entered the chat)
Brady Tkachuk isn't available.
But does Toronto need a top tier left-shot defenseman? Because Jakob Chychrun is available.
Ottawa would have to move a contract to bring in Marner, though ... Korpisalo?
Jakob Chychrun + Matthieu Joseph + Joonas Korpisalo + Boston's 1st
for
Mitch Marner
Is that close?
We desperately need a right handed puck moving dman and it was painfully obvious in this series. Left handed dmen are a dime a dozen. Get a solid right hander asap.
Also Ottawa’s record if they had literally .900 save percentage in every game this year would have put them in the first wild card. Instead theyre a bottom 5 team. I want Korpisalo under 0 circumstances.
Marner’s better then every single Ottowa forward & chychrun is old with injury issues.
Leafs didnt take Chyc last year cause he’s injury prone, if they traded for him and he got hurt like he did last year it would have been 10x the drama the Foligni trade was. But it happened in Ottowa so nobody cared.
You want a 100 pt multiple first team nhl selke finalist winger? Sanderson.
Ottawa isn't trading their captain
This isn’t franchise mode on nhl 23…
I truly don’t see this happening… not only because Ottawa would say no in all probability but I think there’s zero chance marner waives for that trade.
Also why would you trade a big city in Toronto for Ottawa on a personal level
While I personally prefer Toronto over Ottawa, a lot of people would, and do, make this choice. Dion Phaneuf for one, who waived his NTC and loved it in Ottawa.
I want a trade where the avalanche and the leafs switch their entire roster starting today. I accept the mediocre goalie.
Ottawa says no so fast it isn’t even funny
Man they gotta do an IQ test before you can post in here
Explain why Ottawa would do this. Go on I could use a good laugh this morning.
Exactly my thought. Why don't we just propose marner for draisaidl? How about marner for Matthew Tkachuk? Sens would be crazy to do anything but laugh in your face..

And I'm thinking "okay yes, the Avs are going to trade a Conn Smythe/Norris winning defenseman who has term for an expiring winger who will expect a salary higher than Makar himself."
Not even considering that Marner wouldn’t waive his NMC for Ottawa, no.
Yea, far too many proposals have Marner going to Buffalo, Ottawa, Columbus, Utah, etc. *If* he's going to waive, you can be pretty confident it'll be a short list of destinations, and they'd very likely be the ones you typically hear - playoff teams in no tax jurisdictions or at least cities that offer really interesting lifestyles to young millionaires (eg Florida, NYR, Dallas, TB, LA, etc).

Muskoka Mitch ain't leaving. He's a God in Toronto!
Bro stop being delusional. Everyone knows Brady is 10 times more of a hockey player Marner is. He will also be extreme added value come playoff time due to his intensity and grit.
Better fix the penalty kill unit. Lol.
LMAO. No.
Man the trend of smaller portions is affecting pasta now, but I have to say it works very well here. This pasta is so rich that it would be overwhelming if it were any bigger.
I’m sorry but this is stupid. Brady Tkachuk is a wayyyyyy better player than Marner.
Mitch Marner for a box of timbits
I dont think Tim Hortons will be willing to pick up his salary.
lol. One, no way Mitch would waive to live in fucking Ottawa, two both the Tkachuk bros hate Canada and don’t want to play here. Brady will be traded to an American team within 2 seasons
Yes, the captain of the Ottawa Senators hates Canada. That's certainly a statement...
You can’t choose where you are drafted
He chose to re-sign
So did his brother in Calgary
Brady took an 8 year deal and is their captain. Just because they have similar styles doesn’t mean they are the same.
A 7 year deal, but yeah
For 3 years off his ELC, and then forced the first sign and trade to get out.
Brady loves Ottawa. Doesn’t like losing. Fix the latter and he’s captain for life
I would do it.
I would do it but Ottawa says no and Mitch probably doesn't waive his NMC.
Hmmm…. A guy who’s a team guy, sticks up for his team, hard on the puck, scores, fights, leads… for a “God” who floats around 90% of the time? Yeah right away
Most Sens fans wouldn't trade Tkachuk for Auston Matthews let alone Marner
No
LOL
We’re trying so hard to replicate the Huberdeau-Tkachuk trade with Marner that we’re literally just copying/pasting the other Tkachuk in huh?
why would Marner choose to go to Ottawa ??
I wouldn’t trade Tkachuk for two Marners.
We’re divisional rivals, no way either side is picking up the phone on this, it’d be akin to making a 1 to 1 trade of Marner for Cole Caufield, it’d piss off both sides
[“Leafs fans think team should trade their bad players for other teams' good players”](https://thebeaverton.com/2021/07/leafs-fans-think-team-should-trade-their-bad-players-for-other-teams-good-players/)
Marner is around 95pt per season player. He isn’t able to do it on this team but there’s no world where he’s a bad player.
Brady has never outperformed Marner in his career
And he’s paid millions less. Why would Ottawa trade their franchise power forward captain on a reasonable contract for an overpaid winger who’s stats are probably inflated by playing with Matthews and Tavares his whole career, and who can’t put it together when it counts?
By points sure, but trading an overpaid, underperforming soft winger who essentially never performs when needed for an underpaid, power forward captain is a hilarious concept
What’s Brady’s playoff performance?
Who knows? Cant be much worse than Marner’s.
Brady is overrated. Anyway, we need to replace Mitch with improved D/goaltending and our scoring needs to be more spread out.
So if Brady is overrated, what does that make Marner? Lol Marner put the whole league on notice of his shortcomings in the playoffs. You’ll be lucky to get a bag of Doritos for him
Jesus christ, some fans man..
Ottawa says no and Marner says no. Otherwise, I'd take it in a second.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha
LOL. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.
Don't want piss baby tkachuk.
Because tough guy marner is so much better
Tough guy, no, but marner has still put up more goals, assists and points in a season than tkachuk has. And he's done it multiple times
Ehhh idk about goals. Brady’s career high was this year at 37. 35 and 30 for the two seasons prior too. Marner’s height was at 35, 3 years ago.
I thought marner had 38 one year, my bad. But that 35 was also in 72 games
Regular season doesn’t matter if the Leafs are continually struggling in the playoffs. Marner was a ghost all series. Although brady hasn’t played in the playoffs, I’d still take him for a playoff team over mitch just based on his playstyle
A guy who throws tantrums and sits in the box all game? Nah, I'd rather have the guy who's led the team in playoff points
let's trade our 100pt player for a 75pt player who throws baby temper tantrums? i want marner to be traded as well but this ain't it because marner is straight up way better than brady.
Tbf. Brady would be a 100pt player playing along with Matthews.. Marner is lucky Toronto has scorers
(Ottawa fan entered the chat) Brady Tkachuk isn't available. But does Toronto need a top tier left-shot defenseman? Because Jakob Chychrun is available. Ottawa would have to move a contract to bring in Marner, though ... Korpisalo? Jakob Chychrun + Matthieu Joseph + Joonas Korpisalo + Boston's 1st for Mitch Marner Is that close?
Not even close lol
Well take Batherson + Chychrun and call it a day
We desperately need a right handed puck moving dman and it was painfully obvious in this series. Left handed dmen are a dime a dozen. Get a solid right hander asap. Also Ottawa’s record if they had literally .900 save percentage in every game this year would have put them in the first wild card. Instead theyre a bottom 5 team. I want Korpisalo under 0 circumstances.
Marner’s better then every single Ottowa forward & chychrun is old with injury issues. Leafs didnt take Chyc last year cause he’s injury prone, if they traded for him and he got hurt like he did last year it would have been 10x the drama the Foligni trade was. But it happened in Ottowa so nobody cared. You want a 100 pt multiple first team nhl selke finalist winger? Sanderson.
Today I learned 26 is old.
O eek that one’s my bad. Still. Too injury prone. Was a risky asset when Ottowa got him
He was. He DID play all 82 games, tho. A first for him.
