Not saying I'd make the trade, but Nylander and Marner's names have come up a lot recently in talks of potentially landing a d-man.

I think most of that has been fan speculation more than anything. It makes some sense that they wouldd want a D - but I don't think they are going to give up one of their prime forwards to get that. If anything they could look at dealing a guy like JVR or Bozak for a rental D, as both of them are pending UFAs as well. Or they could look at trading prospect/picks so they aren't deducting from the roster.
I don't think there is anything legitimate to discussions involving Marner or Nylander.
