Mitch Marner's disappointing performance in the playoffs has sparked trade rumors, and insider Frank Seravalli suggests it's highly likely he will be traded this off-season.
After years of regular-season success, the Maple Leafs may be fed up with Marner's lack of production in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Following another first-round exit in 2024, fans are calling for Marner to be traded. According to Frank Seravalli, this is the likely outcome this summer.
Seravalli predicts a less than 5% chance that Marner will return as a Maple Leaf for the 2024-25 season. Elliotte Friedman also believes that all 29 other teams will show interest in Marner this off-season.
Marner has a no-move clause and a desire to stay in Toronto, but if the team wants to move on, there may be little reason for him to stay. Despite his playoff struggles, Marner remains a fantastic regular-season performer, and with free agency looming next season, a trade might be the best move for both parties.
