Not worth it, 4 picks for a guy on a one year deal that may not re-sign.

Marner is good, but not worth 4 1st rounders good.

And this team isn’t a Marner away from contending for a Cup.

No thanks.

The draft picks are a massive hit, but this is a darn good team, that will honestly only get better as literally everyone besides Palms, Hall, Zajac and Coleman continue to Develop and mature. And out of those 4, all but Zajac should continue to maintain their current pace for the next 3-5 years. Those 4 1st round picks for a ridiculously overpriced player, would likely be in the 20s for the next 4 years.

Yeah but losing those picks makes getting a great rental at the deadline very difficult.

True. I'd also only consider it if we knew he would re-sign. But then this goes back to my previous post about only being able to logically afford so many 8+mil players at once, as their big contracts will eventually overlap and cause an issue.
