NHL insider Nick Kypreos has suggested a potential trade sending Toronto Maple Leafs star Mitch Marner to the Ottawa Senators in exchange for captain Brady Tkachuk.
Kypreos speculated on a blockbuster trade between divisional rivals, the Ottawa Senators and the Toronto Maple Leafs, involving Brady Tkachuk and Mitch Marner in a possible one-for-one deal.
This trade could make sense, given the Maple Leafs have been exploring options for Toronto native Mitch Marner.
Nick Kypreos and Justin Bourne have brought up the idea of a possible Brady Tkachuk trade to the Leafs. They note how Tkachuk might be frustrated with Ottawa's lack of progress and could demand a trade if dissatisfied, forcing Ottawa to consider it. If Tkachuk is traded, Toronto might need to offer high-value assets like Mitch Marner, draft picks, or prospects.
They added while the idea of Tkachuk joining the Leafs is enticing, the feasibility of such a trade depends on several factors. The Senators' reluctance to part with their captain and the significant assets Toronto would need to offer make this trade complex. However, if Tkachuk expresses a desire to move, it could spark serious negotiations, potentially leading to one of the biggest trades in recent NHL history. Ultimately, the Senators are likely to want to keep the centerpiece of their team as they advance in the Eastern Conference standings.
