Details of a potential Mitch Marner trade to the Vegas Golden Knights in exchange for Logan Thompson and Shea Theodore were disclosed by Elliotte Friedman.

The Toronto Maple Leafs are investigating a possible Mitch minor move and intend to investigate every possibility. Due to the star's lack of postseason success and the team's inability to go past the first round once more, the organization is looking to let go of him. Marner has complete control and a no-movement clause, but if the Maple Leafs keep up their pressure, the forward is likely to think about making a change.

The Vegas Golden Knights are once again in the running to sign a star player, as it always seems to be. Vegas is allegedly prepared to shift some significant assets in order to complete a possible trade, according to their "whatever makes us best" strategy. Right now. Details of a potential trade were disclosed by NHL Insider Elliotte Friedman.

elliotte name dropping vegas and theodore/thompson for marner, i'm starting to feel like that's the team to circle in these discussions

fantastic market, a cup contender, and always in on stars

a top pair PMD at $5.2M and a tandem at ~$1.5M would do wonders for the leafs cap

Both teams would improve from this trade, and it would give Toronto a goalkeeper to complement Joseph Woll and the top pairing defender they have long desired. Among all the speculated transactions, this one perhaps makes the most sense for the Maple Leafs as they attempt to finally assemble a lineup that is properly balanced.

It is anticipated that discussions will quickly heat up because the draft is less than two weeks away.
