Marner does not fit the bill.

I don't agree with this. If we were a somewhat attractive destination, then yes. But we're not and this organization is not going to properly rebuild. So if you can get Mitch Marner here for $14-$16 AAV you just do it. Cause there's not much alterative to acquiring high end talent.
Then you hope that Wolf is the real deal (sure seems like it) along with Parekh (trending that way but who knows until he plays NHL) and suddenly you have Marner, Wolf and Parekh and understand that you didn't fail hard enough to draft a top line center and do your best. it's our best shot at contending with this organization, imo.
