Huge Trade Proposal Sends Marner to Rival Team

Some rumors seem believable, while others are like something out of a fantasy story. Nevertheless, it's always fun to hear about them.

According to a report by Cédrick Gervais on Marqueur.com, there's an interesting trade proposal circulating on Twitter from Hockey Night in Montreal. The trade involves the Montreal Canadiens and the Toronto Maple Leafs and seems a bit ridiculous.

Here's the proposal:

Montreal receives:
-Mitch Marner

Toronto receives:
-Panthers' first-round pick (either 31st or 32nd)
-Flames' first-round pick in the following year
-Canadiens' second-round pick (37th)
-Josh Anderson
-Jordan Harris
-Joel Edmundson

Montreal would need to send a big package in order to land Marner!

This raises the question of how the Leafs' new GM, Brad Treliving, will deal with his Core Four, including Mitch Marner, John Tavares, William Nylander, and Auston Matthews.

With both Tavares and Marner set to be unrestricted free agents next summer, and just two years left on their current contracts, Treliving finds himself in a hot seat. As the next contract negotiations roll around, Matthews, Marner, and Nylander could well demand a bump in their salaries.
