The Toronto Maple Leafs are reportedly in discussions with the Vegas Golden Knights regarding a sign-and-trade deal involving Mitch Marner. Toronto is looking for Nicolas Roy and Nicolas Hague in return. Roy, coming off a Stanley Cup win with Vegas, scored 31 points last season, while Hague, a pending RFA, would enhance Toronto's defense.

Marner, who had a stellar 102-point season, is set to enter free agency, with GM Brad Treliving suggesting he’s likely to test the market unless something changes dramatically. The negotiations signify Toronto's intent to both capitalize on Marner’s value and to prepare for his potential departure.
