Blockbuster trade proposal involving the Habs, Maple Leafs, and Ducks surfaces

Online speculation emerged with a three-way blockbuster trade proposal involving Mitch Marner, the Montreal Canadiens, Toronto Maple Leafs, and Anaheim Ducks.

Amidst the NHL Combine unfolding in Buffalo, hockey enthusiasts eagerly anticipate updates from general managers regarding Draft strategies and free agency plans.

Toronto Maple Leafs' GM Brad Treliving shared intriguing insights on various topics, including Mitch Marner.

While several reports indicate the Leafs' reluctance to trade Marner this summer, persistent rumors continue to gain momentum online.

A significant scenario involving the Ducks and the Canadiens surfaced on X. In this scenario, the Leafs would trade Marner to Anaheim, and in return, Anaheim would send Trevor Zegras to the Canadiens, who would then offer Justin Barron and several draft picks to Toronto.

Here's a breakdown of the proposed trade:

While Anaheim seems eager to part ways with Zegras amidst reports of organizational tensions, the allure of acquiring Marner adds another dimension to their excitement.

However, the likelihood of Montreal pursuing Zegras appears slim, given GM Kent Hughes' historical reluctance to part with draft picks.

For Toronto, the proposed deal presents an enticing package of valuable draft picks and the addition of a promising young defenseman in Barron. Yet, Treliving may have his sights set on alternative options, especially in bolstering defensive capabilities.

As discussions evolve, the looming question remains: Would you endorse this blockbuster three-way trade between the Montreal Canadiens, Toronto Maple Leafs, and Anaheim Ducks?
