Travis Yost proposes Marner to Buffalo for Rasmus Dahlin.
The Flames don’t have a young stud D-man to offer, but maybe a package of a signed Gaudreau with one of Anderson, Hanifin or Valimaki? Balanced as needed with picks

Marner is a damn skilled player. If you pair him with someone who can protect him he can be even better. The Leafs, IMO, would be nuts to deal him just to get a d-man back. I'm not about to call Rasmus a bust, because he's young, but he's not Hedman. He'll likely be a #1, but he still gets beat. Leafs should be dealing one of their four but based on 2 bad playoffs, Marner and Matthews should be the guys you build around. I'm not sure what value Tavares has, but I think the pecking order for deals should be Tavares>Nylander>Marner>Matthews. If anything Leafs should explore two 2nds and Nylander for Rasmus. Dangling Nylander to get a skilled big could really turn the Leafs fortune. Something like Nylander for Giroux could give the Leafs just what they want.
