3.) You need an answer to your divisional rivals
The Edmonton Oilers are now on the "we believe" train after eliminating the Golden Knights. They also have two of the best players in the NHL. But they're not the only Pacific Division team that's a threat.
The Los Angeles Kings are also in the Marner conversation with some interest. The Anaheim Ducks made a controversial move at head coach, signifying they're ready to go all-in. The Calgary Flames surprised many people by staying in the playoff chase until the last week.
The Pacific Division has historically been underwhelming in the new realignment era. However, it'll be tougher for years to come. Your divisional rivals are going all-in on getting a Stanley Cup, meaning you must respond in kind.
Adding a big name like Marner adds to your lineup and matches these teams, even surpassing some of them. If both sides share a mutual interest, there's no reason why a deal shouldn't happen. Marner wants to win and so do the Golden Knights.
What's the terminology for that? Oh, right. A match made in heaven.
