I doubt it happens, not because the Flames don't take a run but because he will have a lot of suitors, and likely wants to go somewhere where he can win. I also don't rule out him returning to Toronto.

Precisely. For those hoping for Marner, I'd cheer that the Leafs get eliminated soon.
I think the idea here is that if you acquire a legitimate elite player, he will lift all boats- especially that of Huberdeau perhaps and he might return to being a 80-90 point player as well.
Having Marner + Huberdeau leading the offence with Parekh/Weegar on the back end and Wolf in net... I mean it could work. The big problem here is that the Center spot is still sorely lacking unless Frost really breaks out.
