Overview

• Active negotiations for Mitch Marner’s sign-and-trade continue but no trade call or contract has been submitted as of June 30.
• Toronto is demanding forwards Nicolas Roy and defenseman Nicolas Hague in exchange for Marner’s negotiating rights.
• Vegas must clear roughly $8–9 million in salary-cap space to absorb Marner’s projected $13–14 million average annual value.
• A sign-and-trade would let the Golden Knights lock Marner into an eight-year deal and preempt offers from other teams.
• With free agency opening July 1, Toronto is preparing for Marner to test the market and weighing a tampering complaint if he signs directly with Vegas.
