A New York Islanders reporter put forward a controversial trade idea involving Toronto Maple Leafs forward Mitch Marner.

There's considerable speculation surrounding Mitch Marner's future with the Maple Leafs. After a challenging playoff and significant organizational changes, many believe he may have played his final game in Toronto.
If Marner is traded this summer, numerous teams are expected to pursue him.
Reportedly, the New York Islanders are among those interested teams.

Trade scenario: Mitch Marner to the New York Islanders


The Islanders have long sought a top offensive player to make a real impact. Mitch Marner fits perfectly into that role.
The Hockey News proposed a trade involving Mitch Marner, suggesting Adam Pelech or Ryan Pulock alongside draft picks as potential assets.
"The Islanders would dish Adam Pelech ($5.75 M AAV) or Ryan Pulock ($6.15 M) and a draft pick(s) for Marner."

Pulock and Pelech are dependable defensemen, but Treliving emphasized in his season-ending press conference that he aims to significantly improve the team for the upcoming season. Acquiring Pelech or Pulock wouldn't represent a substantial upgrade but rather maintain the current status quo.
If the Islanders aim to secure a star player from Toronto, they'll likely need to offer a star player in return.
While many Leafs fans are eyeing Noah Dobson, it would be unexpected to see the Isles trade him unless he requests it.
Do you believe Mitch Marner will be traded to the New York Islanders this offseason?
