Ok I’m going to ask you something. Would you trade Reilly for Marner. Reilly had 20 goals and 72 points last year, while playing with Hainsey, and while playing on one of the leafs used power plays in the league?

Jones is soooo overrated. He is a good hockey player, but seriously, he’s not worth Marner. Everybody acts like he is this franchise defenceman when in reality he has only hit 50 points once in his career.

This trade proposal is terrible, Columbus needs to add not Toronto.

Lol themostleaf that’s one of the most bias things I’ve read in a while. Jones is one of the best Defense man in the league yet to hit his prime and on a great contract. Right shot top pairing D don’t grow on trees.

“Themostleaf33”
I somehow already know how every single one of your replies is going to sound like lmao.
Seth Jones IS a franchise defenceman. Seriously, you just used POINTS as evidence for a DEFENCE (! ) man.
With that being said, yeah leafs overpay lol.

Sorry but you sir are wrong. #1rhd young that score 50pts are worth more than 90pt wingers who don't crack 30 goals.

I’d do Marner straight up for Jones nothing more nothing less. Prime Patrick Kane for For Drew Doughty equivalent.

It's more like.

Columbus Trades
Atkinson
SJones
1st Round Pick 2020

Toronto Trades
Marner
3rd Round Pick 2020 (Ottawa's Pick)

Marner is the best Player in any Columbus Trade Proposal not Seth Jones.

I personally would never make that trade, you can get something much better for Marner
For example, you could probably get Debrincat+Gustafson from Chicago for Marner. The only thing stopping it is that Chicago is in more cap trouble right now then Toronto is. No way they will be able to re-sign Gustafson with all the bad contracts on their team and with the Debrincat+ Strome extensions coming up.

Pinball I think that might be going to far, but Columbus does add for sure. The way I see it, I would be fine with:

Marner+Bracco
For
Jones+Anderson

Columbus gets two solid play making young wingers while Toronto upgrades their defence and sort of replaces Marner and fixes cap problems.

Marner is really good, but I would not trade Jones for him one for one. Maybe I’m just really big on Seth Jones but d-men usually take a few extra years to hit their prime and he’s already one of the best all around defencemen in the league and he’s on a sweetheart of a contract for another 3 years.

The contract Jones is currently on compared to the potential new deal of marner being close to twice as much gives Jones the edge in value.

Morgan Reilly is better then Seth Jones. If Seth Jones is a Franchise defence man, the Morgan Reilly is a generational talent.

Let’s say Reilly is on a different team. Who wins in a trade that is 1 for 1 Marner for Reilly? Honestly, I would say the leafs.

Let the arguing begin.

Unsportsmanlike what team do you cheer for I was under the impression you were a leafs fan.

Should be Mathews plus Lillegren for Jones. that's a fair trade.

I think Jones is better all around then reily.

Marner might be the most overrated player on this site.

I think Marner is about as good a winger as Rielly is a dman. But dmen and centers are more valuable than wingers. So hypothetically I would not trade Rielly for Marner (who like Jones is making roughly half as much as Marner is about to be) .

Yea Mantha. A guy who just got 94 points, plays crucial minutes and is very good defensively so much so that he is used on the PK is overrated.

Themostleaf is a perfect name for a guy that compares defenseman solely based on points. I'd sound pretty dumb if I said kris Russell is the best defenseman cause he leads the league in blocked shots every year.

A long time ago (probably before most of y’all were born) my dad had season tickets to the Hartford Whalers. Rooted for the Canes after they moved but my attachment to them has sorta faded over the years.

Maybe someday the NHL will return to CT, but I’m not counting on it. In the meantime I’m pretty interested in what Ron Francis can do with Seattle (still have his whale tail Jersey) . I follow the Habs/ Leafs/ Rangers pretty closely but that’s mostly because they dominate the headlines.

What, dude that’s totally different. when a defence man can score 20 goals, let alone get more assists then he did points a year ago, it gets noticed among GM’s. It’s called a breakout season, and so far Jones hasn’t really had one.

Also Reilly was +19 last year while Jones was -1, so no it’s not just about points.

The only reason Jones is considered to be better is because Reilly’s career numbers aren’t as good. However, now that Reilly is playing for a good team for a change, his numbers are skyrocketing.

Once Columbus misses the playoffs next year, you will all see how Jones is not the defenceman you all think he is. His +/ - will go down, he won’t get as many points, and is advanced stats will start to look bad.

Let me also remind you that Reilly has never had a proper top 4 partner, while Jones has gotten to play with Werenski for 2 straight years.

Reilly is good but when you only mentioned points. Reilly was 5th in Norris voting and jones was 9th so just fair to say they're both top 10 defensemen in the league. One isn't way better than the other. Jones doesn't get to play with the firepower reilly does.

Yea because Panarin, Atkinson, Dubois and Werenski are all bums to name a few. Bad argument McGee. Jones is most definitely a very good dman if not elite. I would say on par with Reilly.
