Logan Cooley identified as prime target for Leafs if Mitch Marner is traded
The Toronto Maple Leafs face a big decision regarding Mitch Marner this summer. They seem to have their eyes set on Logan Cooley from the Utah Hockey Club as a target.
Following another playoff exit there is speculation that the Maple Leafs might undergo changes in the upcoming months, especially with Head Coach Craig Berube looking to make an impact, with his new team. Recently fans and analysts have been intrigued by the idea of a connection between Mitch Marner and the newly established Utah Hockey Club.
Not suggesting that it happens, but just imagine Cooley and Knies being reunited on the Leafs
In theory such a trade could benefit both teams; it would provide the Utah Hockey Club with a player to lead their team while offering Toronto a young talent who might shine brighter, than Marner in playoff situations.
During his rookie year in the league, Cooley scored 20 goals, and earned 44 points in 82 games. It's uncertain if the Utah Hockey Club will trade him, but It would definitely make an impact early on for them.
The possibility of Marner joining Utah has been a topic since Toronto's playoff exit and the birth of the team due to expansion from Arizona. The rumours seem to be getting stronger.
There are uncertainties, about this situation currently. If both teams are looking to make a significant move this could be an intriguing choice.
