However - if you can get a player of Marners quality at his age for nothing but money you do it 10/10 times
I think there’s zero chance he comes here, but players his caliber almost never hit UFA

The problem I have with adding Marner isn't adding Marner and his contract. It's what happens next.
I would love to see the Flames next season with Marner and Parekh added. The impact could be significant. Look at Lane Hutson in Montreal, they made the playoffs after being a bottom team with an impact rookie like that.
The difference for me is Montreal's core is very young. Their best players are very young. The Flames are not adding Marner and then trading Rasmus. If the resign Rasmus and sign Marner, this team could be good, but I doubt its cup contending calibre with way too many 30+ guys being part of the reason why this team is good. Our success would be short lived.
