Delusional.

I've been listening to NHL Network a lot more during the playoffs. Today, I believe it was on the Steve Kouleas' show, one of the guys (not Kouleas) suggested that Marner winds up in Vegas. He speculated that Vegas goes out and makes things happen when they want to get something done and they can probably make it happen with William Karlsson and Shea Theodore...
All he based that on was salary and that Vegas will pay for players they want. I found it to be an interesting suggestion. Karlsson (5.9) & Theodore (5.2) combined are 11.1, which is only 0.2 more than Marner. Leafs need defense and get to keep a solid forward, a solid playoff player at that too, and add defense for slightly less than what they're paying Marner.
I really don't know if it would work out but it was an interesting suggestion.
