After an underwhelming start to free agency, this would be HUGE for Vegas 👀

Frank Seravalli from the DFO Rundown Podcast confirmed that the Maple Leafs are exploring trade options for Marner. They are in discussions with other teams to see what kind of deals they can make. The team is trying hard to find a suitable move for Marner.

DFO Rundown Podcast, on Marner: Frank Servalli says "Make no mistake at this exact moment in time this week, the Toronto Maple Leafs are talking to teams about Mitch Marner and what that might look like."

"...And I want to be ultra clear about it, that's what the discussion is right now behind the scenes. They are talking to teams and trying to, what are you interested in, what can we do."

"I believe they are trying to do everything in their power to make a move."

Trading Marner isn't simple due to several significant obstacles. Few teams are on Marner's list of acceptable destinations, and his $10.9 million salary cap hit is tough for many teams to accommodate. Additionally, the Leafs want valuable pieces in return, ideally an impact defenseman.

Another challenge is Marner's no-move clause. He can veto any trade unless the new team agrees to a contract extension, adding another layer of complexity to any potential deal.

As it stands, the situation is uncertain. The Maple Leafs are actively exploring trade options for Mitch Marner, but several significant challenges could prevent a deal. Whether Marner stays in Toronto or moves to a new team remains to be seen.
