Golden Knights Get Mitch Marner in a Sign-and-Trade From the Maple Leafs, AP Source Says
ONTARIO, CANADA, JUN 30 – Mitch Marner signed an eight-year, $96 million contract with Vegas in a sign-and-trade that sent Nicolas Roy to Toronto, ending Marner's nine-year run with the Maple Leafs.
- The Vegas Golden Knights acquired 28-year-old Mitch Marner from the Toronto Maple Leafs in a sign-and-trade deal on Monday in anticipation of free agency.
- This trade followed Marner declining Toronto's long-term contract offer and the team's need to clear cap space before free agency opens on July 1.
- Vegas plans to place defenseman Alex Pietrangelo, who faces a serious hip injury requiring bilateral femur reconstruction, on long-term injured reserve to free cap space for Marner's roughly $12 million hit.
- The deal reportedly includes an eight-year, $96 million contract for Marner and a return package featuring center Nicolas Roy with a $3 million cap hit sent to Toronto.
- This move positions Vegas to strengthen its roster but raises potential tampering concerns, as the Maple Leafs have considered filing a complaint and the NHL monitors such practices closely.
