I think that might be a bit light.

Yes, I certainly do considering I believe Ramus Andersson would garner more interest and value league wide at the moment due to his position, handedness, contract term, and cap hit. Marner may be the better player, but Andersson is the superior asset. Player values are not just based on point totals. Any Marner deal is an incredible tough trade to pull off.
Additionally, I also think that the struggles of guys like Huberdeau and Gaudreau with lesser talent around them would cause major warning signs for any team looking to acquire Marner. Is Marner a 90-100 point player on Utah and away from the league's top goal scorer? Is Marner a guy that teams view as a piece that will push them over the top in the playoffs? Is Marner a guy you want to commit 90+ million dollars to moving forward?
