Marner, in my view, is the jewel here - especially that you can keep him 2 more years. I’d go for it.
Another manager in my league put Marner and Couture on the block, indicates he wants LW and FOW as priority.
I lowballed my Forsberg straight up for his Marner, he came back with Marner+Barzal for Forsberg+Gallagher. Marner is signed as a 4th rounder with 2 yrs remaining and Gallagher as a 13th rounder with 1 yr remaining. Forsberg and Barzal were both drafted this year and not likely to be a keeper for either of us.
Barzal as a dedicated C has limited value in our pool. He doesn't win face-offs and his physical play is almost non-existent. Could say the same for Marner, but 90pt potential for a RW is a whole different story. Gallagher is good value as a 13th rounder but is less physical so far this year. Forsberg is ... who knows. If Nashville ever figures out the PP he could be a beast but until then...
He's currently in 2nd place in our league, I'm 10th. My team is awesome at G, A, +/-, SOG, SHP but terrible in PIM, PPP, GWG, FOW, HIT, and BLK. This would be to establish Marner as a keeper for next year more so than improving my many deficiencies this year.
Thoughts?

CONDORS, 2022-23 league champions, Reg Dunlop Mem Cup
12-team, H2H. Keep 12, but drop 2 of top four skaters, and also 2 of next six, then five more (from end-of-year rankings). One GK max.
Stutzle, Sergachev
Keller, Doughty, Verhaeghe, ErikssonEk
E.Lindholm, Barzal, J.Gaudreau, Huberdeau, S. Wright
Gustavsson
I'd make that trade now.
Marner + 2 more yrs of control.
Plus you can also move Ovie and Carlson for more futures.

Thanks for the responses.
Given he initially put Marner and Couture on the block I tried to substitute Barzal for Couture. He countered with his Marner and Couture for my Wheeler and Connor.
Between the two scenarios, I like the first one better. Thoughts?
