The star winger has been at the center of trade rumors since the Leafs' playoff exit this year.
Chris Johnston joined Overdrive and gave us an inside scoop on what could materialize in the coming weeks for Marner and the Leafs.
NHL insider David Pagnotta has mentioned several teams, including the Blackhawks, Stars, Golden Knights, and Predators, as potential destinations for Marner. However, aside from the Predators, there haven't been many other sources supporting these claims.
Predators GM Barry Trotz recently dismissed rumors of pursuing Marner. Despite trading defenseman Ryan McDonagh to the Lightning and freeing up $7 million in cap space, Trotz laughed off the idea of acquiring Marner.
Given the current situation, it's possible Marner will stay with the Leafs despite the trade rumors. Stay tuned over the summer for potential major moves from the organization.
