A trade has emerged online sending Maple Leafs' Mitch Marner to the Montreal Canadiens in exchange for draft capital in a draft day blockbuster.
This type of deal would accelerate the rebuild in Montreal.
As mentioned by many insiders across the league, it is no secret that the Toronto Maple Leafs will be shopping around hometown boy Mitch Marner this summer, and his next destination may be the Montreal Canadiens, according to Simon "Snake" Boisvert.
Per @frank_seravalli there is a 95%+ chance that Mitch Marner will be traded this off-season. The two-time Selke nominee was selected fourth overall by the Maple Leafs in 2015. Many teams will likely inquire in the star winger. #GoHabsGo #LeafsForever
The following trade proposal has been emerged, sending Mitch Marner to their arch rivals, the Montreal Canadiens.
«However, there is another type of trade that could be made with the 5th overall pick (of the Montreal Canadiens), which is to trade it for an established star player.
Mathias Brunet also raised a bold idea during the recent episode of his podcast "Processus" with Simon Boisvert, suggesting trading this pick for Mitch Marner.» - Mathis Therrien
With options like Ivan Demidov and Cayden Lindstrom at Kent Hughes' disposal, it seems unlikely that he is willing to part with the teams 5th overall pick in the 2024 NHL draft.
