The Maple Leafs have also reportedly traded Mitch Marner's negotiation rights to the Vegas Golden Knights in exchange for Nic Roy, per Friedman. Marner reportedly signed an eight-year deal with the club at an AAV of $12 million.

Among wings to replace Marner, the two best candidates are Brock Boeser from the Canucks and Nikolaj Ehlers from the Jets. There's no confirmation that Toronto is linked to either, but they're the best duo remaining. The Leafs could also go after veteran Patrick Kane.

TSN’s Darren Dreger reported that if the 37-year-old becomes an unrestricted free agent, the Utah Mammoth will be among the teams with “strong interest.” The others? The Toronto Maple Leafs and the Boston Bruins. The Maple Leafs — Boston’s longtime rival — will likely lose Mitch Marner in free agency, leaving a hole on offense.
