Maple Leafs issue official response to Mitch Marner trade rumor involving Utah
The Toronto Maple Leafs were rumored to consider trading Mitch Marner this summer, but they have since denied any talks of a deal with Utah.
Following a disappointing playoff exit after just one series, the Toronto Maple Leafs appear determined to shake things up, with Mitch Marner reportedly a prime candidate for a trade. Numerous reports suggest the team is open to trade offers for their star winger, with the newly formed Utah Hockey Club among those interested.
The rumor has been circulating for a while now, prompting responses from both the Maple Leafs and Marner's camp via David Pagnotta.
On the Mitch Marner to Utah report/rumor that's out there: I reached out to the Marner camp who told me it is «100% not true.» A Leafs team rep also poured cold water all over the report calling it completely untrue.
As expected, both sides promptly dismissed the rumor as '100% not true.' However, considering the Utah Hockey Club's assets and their pursuit of a star player, the interest appears genuine.
Marner's strong performance in the regular season naturally draws interest from NHL teams. Now, we await to see if a potential deal will reshape the league's landscape.
