A Marner 3 team deal:
Leafs get Kadri and Anderson, Calgary gets Marner. At this point, Marner's agent has already spoken to all 3 teams involved. Calgary then trades Marner to new team with an already agreed upon extension in place. Calgary gets a high draft pick, good young player/prospect, and a cap dump.
The reason it works is because Toronto wants Kadri and Anderson specifically because when Treliving falls in love with a player, he gets tunnel vision. Calgary has no need for Marner so flips him to a team he wants to go to. New tea. Pays for Marner and for the Flames to take a cap dump.
Not saying it will happen, just how it COULD happen.
