Overview

• The Maple Leafs pursued a three-team deal at the trade deadline that would have sent Mitch Marner to the Golden Knights, Mikko Rantanen to Toronto and additional assets to the Hurricanes.
• Negotiations collapsed when Vegas and Carolina could not agree on the compensation package required to complete the exchange.
• Marner was reportedly asked to waive his no-trade clause during discussions but declined to approve a move to Carolina.
• The Hurricanes ultimately traded Rantanen to the Dallas Stars, where he signed an eight-year, $96 million contract carrying a full no-move clause.
• As Marner’s free agency opens July 1, GM Brad Treliving has expressed his intent to re-sign him while potential suitors like Vegas weigh cap-clearing moves.
