Anson carter rumors

Should the Leafs or Avalanche do it?

Anson carter rumors: A group led by former

NHL analyst Anson Carter stirred up discussions this past week as he threw out a polarizing trade idea. He believed his trade suggestion, which was made during a TNT broadcast, could address financial and roster concerns for both teams. It was clear from the responses of other panelists in the segment and from online reactions that not everyone agreed.

But does this trade make sense for each side? Marner has been a key contributor for Toronto with 29 points in 22 games this season, but his reputation for postseason struggles has led to questions about his long-term value. Carter argued you could theoretically pay Rantanen more than Matthews and not stir up a huge issue in Toronto.

Perhaps the Maple Leafs get a better playoff performer and the team gets a bit of a different makeup among their elite forwards, but Rantanen is also expecting a huge payday. Not to mention, giving up Marner, who is highly popular and a consistent regular-season performer, could be a tough pill for Leafs fans to swallow. Rantanen has been a beast this season, posting 32 points in 23 games.

On paper, this trade makes some sense from an AAV perspective when it comes to the optics of both players in their respective cities. By no means is this suggestion a perfect fit or the ideal solution for either club.
