Sad News: Maple Leafs Face Challenges in Trading Their Superstar Worth $10.9 Million Amid Eastern Conference Interest…..
The Toronto Maple Leafs are struggling to find a trade partner for star forward Mitch Marner as they explore their options ahead of the 2024-25 season. Marner, 27, carries a hefty $10.9 million cap hit and holds a full no-movement clause, making any potential deal complicated.
Reports suggest at least one Eastern Conference team is keen on acquiring him, but Toronto’s asking price—a top-tier defenseman—has made negotiations difficult. Additionally, new head coach Craig Berube is reportedly advocating to keep Marner, believing he can thrive under a fresh system.
As trade talks continue, the Leafs must decide whether to push forward with Marner or shake up their roster in pursuit of a deeper playoff
run.
