Trade proposal sees Alex Pietrangelo heading to the Toronto Maple Leafs
An online trade proposal suggests the Toronto Maple Leafs could land Alex Pietrangelo from the Vegas Golden Knights in exchange for Mitch Marner.
The speculation around a potential Marner trade has been intense this summer, with the Golden Knights emerging as a key suitor. Following the departures of Jonathan Marchessault and Chandler Stephenson in free agency, Vegas is urgently seeking to address these significant gaps.
PuckPedia, a platform where users can propose and discuss trades on PuckGM, has seen considerable buzz around a proposed swap involving Marner and Pietrangelo.
Considering the recent OEL signing, Theodore may no longer be a fit. With Berube, Savard, and van Ryn all familiar with Pietrangelo, this trade makes sense. Although VGK might need to add more, and the Leafs could seek a center, there's potential here.
The trade idea on PuckGM includes the Leafs also acquiring William Karlsson along with Pietrangelo, while sending Marner and Timothy Liljegren to Vegas.
Toronto Maple Leafs Receive:
Alex Pietrangelo
William Karlsson
Vegas Golden Knights Receive:
Mitch Marner
Timothy Liljegren
Pietrangelo would significantly bolster the Leafs' defense, and Karlsson could help offset the offensive loss from trading Marner. Karlsson's impressive 60-point season last year and his remaining three years at a cap-friendly $5.9 million per season make him a valuable addition.
After an underwhelming start to free agency, this would be HUGE for Vegas 👀
It's possible Brad Treliving is keeping an eye on PuckGM for trade ideas, as collaborative thinking might offer new insights.
