According to @CapWages on X, there's a potential trade that could send Mitch Marner of the Leafs to the Boston Bruins in exchange for Charlie McAvoy. This one-for-one trade could significantly benefit both teams.
The Leafs have tremendous offensive firepower but lack some skill on the back end. Toronto could fill Marner's spot with other skilled players in their lineup, and adding McAvoy on defense could make a significant difference for them.
However, the rivalry between the two teams might prevent this trade from happening. The Bruins lost some key players this off-season, and many experts predict a drop in points for the team. Adding a player like Marner could help, but the Bruins value McAvoy's stability on defense, making it unlikely they would trade him.
It's possible that Marner will be traded if the Leafs can't agree on a contract extension, but it's highly unlikely that the return will be Charlie McAvoy.
