I disagree.
Marner is one of the best 2-way forwards in the game. He's good 5-on-5, PP and PK.
You might be confusing him with Nylander, who is all offense, but not struggling at all in Coach B's system.

I could see Marner going to NYI. Lou knows him and they need scoring. Leafs have always like Pageau dating back to Nylander rumours. Pageau + Wahlstrom + pick for Marner at 50% is cap neutral. Lou needs to be sure he can extend him though.

Any GM who made that deal seals his own fate. If your not getting a 1st + high end prospect then why try?
