Overview

  • The Maple Leafs completed Mitch Marner’s sign-and-trade to the Vegas Golden Knights, sending his eight-year, $96 million contract to Vegas in exchange for forward Nicolas Roy.
  • Toronto locked up Nick Robertson with a one-year, $1.825 million deal ahead of his arbitration hearing while still fielding trade interest in the young winger.
  • Elliotte Friedman reported that the club has pitched a salary-dump package to the Pittsburgh Penguins that could send Nick Robertson and David Kampf for multiple draft picks to clear cap space.
  • A blockbuster proposal has emerged that would send Morgan Rielly to the Dallas Stars in exchange for Jason Robertson as Toronto seeks to bolster its top-line scoring.
  • With just under $2 million in cap room and waiver-eligible newcomers and depth forwards vying for spots, coach Craig Berube’s 23-man roster remains unsettled.
