While the Maple Leafs and Mitch Marner are set for a split this summer, Nick Kypreos believes that a sign-and-trade for Marner is still very much on the table.
While it’s disappointing that the rumoured trades didn’t go down at the trade deadline, the Leafs can still maximize their return through a sign-and-trade, as reported by Sportsnet’s Nick Kypreos.
While the focus around Marner has to do with his free agent status, we can’t rule out the potential for a sign and trade here. For example, going back to Vegas and Karlsson, obtaining a No. 2 centre is as high a priority for Toronto as well as a top winger replacement for Marner this summer.
Kypreos added that it’s a benefit for both parties because Marner can maximize his contract value by signing an 8-year deal with the Leafs through a sign-and-trade. That way, with an extension complete, Toronto could get a juicier return package.
Dealing Marner would ensure they get something back for losing him, and doing so with a contract in place would bring a return that’s far more enticing and impactful than simply trading his negotiating rights.
It’s a situation that will benefit all 3 parties because Toronto gets something out one of their most valuable assets, Marner gets the lucrative contract that he wants, and the other team receives a superstar winger on a deal they couldn’t get otherwise.
