I'll be frank. I just don't get it from the Avs point of view.
It seems like it's just a pure bet for that NYI pick to be really high.
If that doesn't happen, the return just doesn't seem very good.
It seems OK for just Marner, but then you have Beniers in there too. Wacky stuff.

This is how I got Marner
The Avs receive
Marner, Mitch (RW)
The Wild receives
Olofsson, Victor (RW)
Jones, Caleb (D)
Bernard-Docker, Jacob (D)
Lambos, Carson (D)
2025 1st Round Draft Choice (Col)
1 average prospect and 3 cap dumps and a pick near the end of the 1st round in 2025 for Marner.
I don't see a huge difference.
I also flipped Geekie back to NYR for Colton and a 2nd
