The Leafs media never made sense with their arguments over the off season. That the Leafs will be better built for the playoffs without Marner.
You don't just lose an elite winger and replace them with nothing, and somehow think your team will be better next year. It doesn't make any sense. It would be like if the Flames had lost Johnny Hockey and we suddenly decided that makes us a better playoff team.
This trade made zero sense and was always an overpay, knowing your best player was likely leaving in the off season.
