S-tier source I know but is this something that could come to fruition? My gut tells me he’s too expensive and it seems risky since we would seemingly have to give a lot for him. Thoughts?

Nooooooooo please no
Hell no. Last thing the Preds need is another star they routinely disappears in the playoffs.
Dude’s softer than baby wipes. I don’t see him liking to play our defensive system. Many better FAs out there for our team.
I’m sure Trotz enquires about all kinds of deals and is constantly talking to every GM.
IMO, you don’t bring in ROR and the like to change the culture in the room and then bring in Marner.
The only way I would bring in Marner is if we can get Toronto to retain half his salary.
I want to say this is a bad idea, but I just trust the Trotz Plotz enough to say “maybe it will work out”
I really fucking hope not
remember that any big forward we trade for is going to have a “problem.”
If they didn’t have a “problem” they wouldn’t be available in the first place
I don’t think having Marner would be bad at all. I think most people here overreact a bit.
He’ll have a big chip on his shoulder after Toronto, similar to Phil Kessel. Is he a defensive liability? Maybe, but we can handle that with our core.
Trotz wants Stamkos not Marner.
Y’all are crazy. Marner would instantly be one of the best forwards we’ve ever had
We need scoring. Guy is 7th overall in points in the NHL over the past 5 years. You jump on that chance if you get it.
We don’t need a 90 point player who can get us into the playoffs, we need a consistent ppg player and can be an offensive force once the payoffs start.
*checks leafs news after Boston loss* Marner is not that guy.
While this seems good at face value, the Preds first need to build depth and get some more physical defensemen before doing a move like this. A trade like that will keep you slinking into the first round and get bounced.
Ship off Saros for Marner with them retaining some of his salary. I feel like Askarov is almost ready. I love Juice but let’s get something for him.
He’ll never come to the preds as much as I want it to happen
