Although Marner has expressed a desire to stay in Toronto and finish out his current contract, he has indicated a willingness to be traded to the Dallas Stars, Chicago Blackhawks, Vegas Golden Knights, or Nashville Predators, according to 'The Fourth Period'.
Reporter David Pagnotta notes that while Marner could be a valuable addition next to Connor Bedard in Chicago, he doesn't see it as a likely fit. He also mentions that there might be other potential destinations for Marner, but the key issue in any trade will be his $10.9 million salary for next season.
Pagnotta also addressed and debunked a rumor linking Marner to a team in Utah, clarifying that it was a false report that upset the team.
Marner, who is entering the final year of a six-year contract with Toronto, scored 26 goals, added 59 assists, and totaled 85 points in 69 games last season.
