There's a potential three-way blockbuster trade proposal that's making waves online. It's between the Montreal Canadiens, Toronto Maple Leafs, and Anaheim Ducks, and it involves Mitch Marner.
With the NHL Combine happening in Buffalo, fans are eagerly waiting for the latest updates from general managers about their plans for the Draft and free agency.
Brad Treliving, the GM of the Leafs, recently shared some interesting updates, including news about Marner. Many reports suggest the Leafs won't trade Marner this summer, but rumors are still flying around.
One big scenario posted on X suggests a massive trade: the Leafs would send Marner to Anaheim, Anaheim would send Trevor Zegras to Montreal, and the Canadiens would give Justin Barron and a few draft picks to Toronto.

Anaheim might be thrilled to move on from Zegras, given the reported conflicts, and would love to get Marner. Zegras has been linked to Montreal before, but it's unlikely GM Kent Hughes will pursue him in a trade, especially since Hughes is known for holding onto his draft picks.
LeBrun on RDS (Montreal French language sports network) says he doesn't think at the moment the Canadiens have interest in pursuing Trevor Zegras, doesn't see a fit there, Ducks asking price is very high.
As for Toronto, they'd get valuable draft picks and a young, talented defenseman in Barron, though Treliving might have his eye on other Habs defensemen, even if it means fewer draft picks.
