Ryan O'Reilly advocates for Trotz to target Mitch Marner in Blockbuster Trade
Former Maple Leaf and current Predator Ryan O'Reilly tried to persuade GM Barry Trotz to trade for Mitch Marner before his free agent spending spree.
During NHL free agency, the Nashville Predators were active, securing former Tampa Bay Lightning captain Steven Stamkos and Conn Smythe winner Jonathan Marchessault from the Vegas Golden Knights, among others.
However, before these moves, Ryan O'Reilly approached rookie GM Barry Trotz to discuss acquiring his former teammate Mitchell Marner from the Toronto Maple Leafs, according to a new report.

Nick Kyperos mentioned the following:
«Prior to the Predators spending a whack of dough on free agents (Steven) Stamkos, Jonathan Marchessault and Brady Skjei, eq-Leaf Ryan O'Reilly did his very best to convince GM Barry Trotz to make a push and trade for Mitch Marner,» Kypreos said.
Following the NHL draft, the prospects of a Mitch Marner trade are diminishing, suggesting he is likely to start the season with the Maple Leafs as he enters the final year of his contract.
