A major move for the Penguins to secure Mitch Marner from the Leafs
Reports suggest that Mitch Marner might be traded during the off-season. Currently there are five teams interested in the 95-point winger. Former Leafs GM Kyle Dubas also in the mix.
Frank Seravalli from DailyFaceoff recently talked about Mitch Marner's future with the Toronto Maple Leafs. The NHL Insider mentioned that his return, to the team is not guaranteed.
"I think there's a five percent chance or maybe even less that he'll be a Leaf next season."
It seems like five teams are looking to recruit Mitch Marner;
The Anaheim Ducks, New York Islanders, Pittsburgh Penguins, Utah HC and the Chicago Blackhawks.
It's tough to say where Marner might end up since he hasn't put together a No Movement Clause (NMC) yet. Nonetheless the Penguins, being one of the leagues struggling teams aiming to boost their offense could see an advantage, in bringing Marner on board.
Marner's decision will be heavily influenced by his priorities. The New York Islanders, who barely managed to secure a playoff spot and the Chicago Blackhawks are also contenders, in the mix.
