The alternative is Toronto tries to trade Marner for straight futures (picks + prospects) and tries to use those assets to trade with other teams (that are not interested in Marner) in order to improve their defence. In those cases, they could go after guys like Andersson and/or Chychrun.

It's completely crazy.
As I said Petro is 34 years old, he'll be 35 mid next season.
The Leafs would be nuts to trade a 27 year old perennial 90 point forward for a soon to be 35 year old Dman.
